Discussion Prompt

According to a 2016 Study (The Economist, 2016 (Links to an external site.)), knowledge workers were spending 70-85 percent of their time in meetings. Organizations across the globe built massive open floor plan headquarters in order to encourage collaboration. As soon as COVID-19 shut down operations as normal for most companies, the online collaboration tools initially struggled and then adapted to make millions from the corporate need to collaborate. And yet, despite this time together, studies (Cross et al., 2021 (Links to an external site.)) show that nearly 35 percent of effective collaboration comes from 5 percent of employees. So, do we have a collaboration overload? Do you think we attempt to collaborate too much? If so, what are the potential downsides of collaboration? If not, what are we missing from collaboration today?
