Collaborate To Win

Perceptive executives have come to understand that creating value means embracing networks of people and coordinating their efforts to deliver business results faster. Fast-moving technological advances have begun to turn one-way interactions into extended two-way processes that breed new forms of cooperation. Just as earlier forces such as desktop computers shifted the basis of productivity generation, so too has the networked model changed how companies identify and work with all kinds of partners.

Businesses are learning how to collaborate more efficiently, connecting and cooperating with people and entities well beyond the confines of their particular enterprise, digitally interacting with large communities of customers or suppliers, or venturing out to identify (and rank) new peers or partners.
