## Highlights
- We’ve observed three broad categories of collaborative interactions (exhibit):
Decision making, including complex or uncertain decisions (for example, investment decisions) and cross-cutting routine decisions (such as quarterly business reviews)
Creative solutions and coordination, including innovation sessions (for example, developing new products) and routine working sessions (such as daily check-ins)
Information sharing, including one-way communication (video, for instance) and two-way communication (such as town halls with Q&As)
