Effective Team Collaboration Is More Important Than Ever — Nurture It For Better Business Outcomes

Methodology In this study, Forrester conducted phone interviews with three decision-makers and an online survey of 670 decision-makers at organizations in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, and France to evaluate the state of collaboration across business and technical teams. Survey participants included decision-makers in LOB, development, and IT ops who work on delivery products and services. Questions provided to the participants asked about challenges, consequences, and benefits of fostering collaboration. Respondents were offered a small incentive as a thank-you for time spent on the survey. The study began and was completed in March 2023. Note: Percentages may not total 100 due to rounding.
