Improved collaboration can deliver a broad range of tangible benefits. The following examples show the types and levels of benefits that can be achieved:

Collaboration built into a bid process
A leading telecoms organisation realised a 24% increase in sales conversion through increasing collaboration between account managers. They were successful because of a focus on both the human and technical aspects of collaboration.

Communities of practice
A global oil company saved $200 million through creating communities of practice amongst 100,000 geographically dispersed engineers. This was primarily achieved through avoiding the repetition of costly mistakes and generating innovative solutions to common problems (and NOT re-inventing the wheel in each geographical location)

Online meetings
A global automotive supply company now conducts online meetings with up to three people from different companies and locations that have helped to cut time for some engineering processes by as much as 25%.

Virtual team working
An international business standards organisation with a globally distributed team shaved a year off the time to produce a key publication by building online collaboration amongst its members.
