collaboration and knowledge management projects

 

Two days
Complete our online registration form and we'll keep you posted on the nest workshop.


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.
