The document discusses how collaboration is currently broken and proposes a new solution. It argues that while email is popular for collaboration due to its convenience, it is actually a poor way to manage conversations and documents. A new solution is needed that fits the tasks and users, is seamless and transparent, and puts users in control to make collaboration more effective.
