Cisco surveyed 800 people and the results were published in June in Collaboration: Know Your Enthusiasts and Laggards. A few of the key findings:

1. Collaborators fit into four distinct segments: collaboration enthusiasts, comfortable collaborators, reluctant collaborators, and collaboration laggards
2. Corporate culture is important in successful collaboration: perhaps the most valuable study result
3. Employees regard collaboration as influencing success: found critical or important by the vast majority of respondents
4. Productivity is the biggest perceived benefit: valued more than innovation in all segments
5. Collaboration is useful in organizations of all sizes: and equally successful
