I.e. when they need to work.

1) Very often, an individual’s key collaboration partners in a business are not in the same physical location.

2) The same individual may be a member of multiple teams. For example, a graphics artist may be doing work for five different product rollouts at the same time. A programmer or engineer in the same company may at the same time be doing work for three of those rollouts, and a PR person may be attempting to stir up media interest for one of these and also for some non-product-related corporate activity. It is topologically impossible to put all these people in the same workspace.
