"If getting a desired product of work requires collaboration, then people will collaborate."
This is one of the main points of contention between the various parties, and defining whether or not something needs collaboration is often ignored.
The entire project might need degrees of input from multiple parties, but often what's needed is for one person to actually get something done, the invite collaboration/feedback/input. Forcing people to work together at every single step to get "collaboration" is simply wrong, but it's one of the justifications for "everyone in the same room."
