Now, imagine you are measuring the collaboration by the amount of meetings and chats/email. Of course these increase if we can no longer chat in your office! Now I have to book time or send you a slack/chat/whatever because having a conversation now requires finding that private space.
So previously unmeasured collaboration is replaced with lower fidelity, but measurable collaboration.
