Collaborative Working - Dion Lindsay, Wednesday 11 June 2014, London

Venue: CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WC1E 7AE

Date: Wednesday, 11 June, 2014 - 09:30 - 16:30

Course Outline:
Many employers feel collaboration in their organisation is not good enough. 
But there is a risk that the adoption of collaborative technology, without 
either strong evidence of current activity or a model of how collaboration 
works, will have little impact on organisational performance.

This workshop will start out by examining the way in which people work 
together in organisations and what makes the process of collaboration 
different to other team activities before looking in more detail at the 
elements of a collaboration technology strategy.

The objective of the workshop will be to provide participants with the 
information needed to get the best from current technology by understanding 
the basic principles of collaborative working, and to be able to define the 
requirements for any additional technology investment.

Who should attend:
Information professionals in middle and senior management positions in 
public and private sector organisations who wish to advance the effective 
exploitation and management of electronic information. It will enable them 
to:

    Identify opportunities where improvements in information services need 
to be well managed and delivered
    Experiment with a range of change management and marketing techniques
    Develop draft marketing and/or change management plans for a proactive 
approach to their challenges

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 or intranet or technology departments.
