Virtual Planning and Decision Support
Our mission is to help our clients and their employees
stay closer to their colleagues and other stakeholders
-- so that the right people can participate more fully
in developing strategies and plans that will succeed.
So we'd like to ask you some questions:
|
|
- Do your work groups and teams
need to be able to make better decisions and plans,
and accomplish this more quickly?
- Do you need to engage widely
dispersed stakeholders who could otherwise not participate?
- Do you need to eliminate the
expense, time and security issues associated with
meeting travel?
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," read
on. |
Three
Fundamental Collaboration Tasks
In our experience with virtual
teams over the past decade, there are three fundamental
tasks that are critical to successful collaboration
of any type.
- Generate and discuss ideas, which usually include problems, opportunities,
obstacles, stakeholder needs, resources, and the like.
- Evaluate ideas, by rating, ranking, selecting, voting, allocating, and so on.
- Make decisions that prioritize strategies, objectives, resources and implementation activities.
Project success or failure depend
on how well and how quickly these critical tasks
are accomplished. Unfortunately, anyone who has
been involved in a collaborative project knows
how easy it is for the many potential
pitfalls to overtake the best intentions.
The result is not just wasted time and energy,
but a dilution of mutual trust and a reduction
of ownership in the effort -- or worse.
We combine vast facilitation
experience with new decision-support
technologies to help your organization perform
these 21st-century tasks efficiently and effectively,
with five significant benefits: |
