Strategies for adopting collaborative working technologies, Dion Lindsay
London, CILIP, 6th November 9.30 - 16.30
Course outline:
This workshop helps you prepare to contribute to or lead effective
collaboration in your organisation
Many employers feel collaboration in their enterprise is not good
enough, but they know that without understanding how collaboration works
or how to assess their staff's readiness to collaborate, introducing
collaborative technology will have little impact.
This workshop, led by a collaboration strategy expert, will start out by
examining the ways in which people work together in organisations and
what makes the process of collaboration different to other team
activities. It then looks at how to identify the potential for
successful collaboration and examines current collaborative tools,
before looking in more detail at the elements of a successful
collaboration strategy.
The objectives of the workshop are to help participants identify the
opportunities for collaborative working in their organisation, discover
whether and how current technology will help, and define requirements
for new technology or changes in working patterns.
Who should attend:
Information professionals in middle and senior management positions in
public and private sector organisations who wish to identify strategies
for collaborative working and the most appropriate tools to make it
happen.
The course is designed for anyone who has a current or planned
responsibility for encouraging collaboration in their workplace, whether
from the library, information centre, intranet or technology departments
The workshop will enable them to
. Identify opportunities for effective collaborative working
. Chose new collaborative tools or exploit those that exist in
their organisations
. Design sound and convincing strategies for adopting
collaborative techniques
.
As proved very popular in the May version of this workshop, participants
will see live demos of the most useful tools, and will receive a copy of
the trainer's slide deck after the event, augmented with the discussions
and discoveries from the day.
