This document provides resources for collaboration tools including free conference calling services, video conferencing platforms, online workspaces, group messaging apps, and social networking sites. It also cites a statistic estimating that telework will increase from 20% to 50% of the workforce by 2012. Key ideas are that culture, trust, and connectivity matter more for collaboration than physical place, although place still plays a role.

49. “The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that by
2012, the population of teleworkers . . . will be from
50 million to as much as 100 million, compared to
the approximately 30 million teleworkers today,
implying that telework will go from 20% of the work
force today to roughly 50% by 2012.”
