We’ve studied what unlocks team potential for more than twenty-one years. Our new research shows how to reclaim 30% of your life and empower hybrid teams.
Plus, find out how to gain a 79% increase in candor, 75% increase in development, 46% increase in collaboration and a 44% increase in accountability.
Meetings have become our $283 billion habit of wasted time a year. We have a data-driven solution that proves that much of the academic research on virtual team collaboration is wrongheaded, biased and focused on failed use cases. And these are the radically transformative results we see from the practices shared in this white paper.
