Collaboration:  Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

In order to understand our current and future needs for collaboration in business innovation and improvement, we must first understand where we have come. To do this we have used three books representing the past, present and future of American and global businesses:  Uncommon Friends, by James Newton, Good-to-Great, by Jim Collins and The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman.

Did you know that 5 of 11 'Great' companies since 'Good to Great' was published (2001), underperformed the S&P 500 in at least six of the last 12 years and one underperformed every year? We hope you enjoy this paper and strongly encourage you to read what's becoming an executive favorite, 'Uncommon Friends' (Published 1987).
