This workshop for business and technical managers gives you an introduction to the
quickly evolving world of collaboration and knowledge management. The focus is on the
integration of technologies for electronic collaboration and knowledge management with the
cultural, economic and management factors that can make or break these projects. This
overview seminar will give you practical information on what challenges in your
organization are appropriate for these new technologies, and how to successfully implement
collaboration projects.
It also looks in great detail at many of the sub-technologies that make up the
marketplace for electronic collaboration and knowledge management. This workshop has a
variety of exercises to help you do a quick collaborative benchmark on your organization
as well as learning how eight companies that are "great collaborators" share
knowledge and beat their competitors.
Learn about future trends, and how your organization can take advantage of these
emerging technologies to cut cycle times, get products to market faster and manage
distributed teams and projects in a virtual way. Find out the secrets to getting
management buy-in and how to "mobilize" everyone to make a pilot project
successful.
