Common Issues ... click on link for possible solutions.

1. Are you spending too much time and money on travel for geographically dispersed work teams?
2. Once a project is completed, what happens to all the learning, knowledge and experience?
3. Are most of your "projects" really just ad hoc collaborations?
4. We have Project Managers, why would we need KCR?

Are you spending too much time and money on travel for geographically dispersed work teams?

Negative impact ... Solution benefits ... Travel time and Fedex are time and money wasters that do not add value to a project and impact team members' enthusiasm for participating. Employing online collaboration tools not only saves time and money, but also reduces stress on team members, prevents data scatter, and allows you to centrally store what's learned for future projects. How We Can Help ... Alternate Futures' online collaboration, project & knowledge capture application, 24X7WORLDWIDE.COM can be deployed in 15 minutes using only a browser and can start saving you time and money almost instantly. Visit the site www.24x7worldwide.com for more information.

Once a project is completed, what happens to all the learning, knowledge and experience?

Negative impact ... Solution benefits ... Typically, ad hoc project teams go back to their "regular" tasks. Much of the documentation and working data that created a final report now resides in multiple email accounts, unindexed and unreachable by others in the organization. It gets even worse if a team member leaves the company... the result is a lost opportunity to leverage the investment made in the project when a similar project comes up in the future. Providing a centralized place for all the content of a project or collaborative effort means the organization retains the information and learning, sparing future teams from having to reinvent the wheel. The result is more productivity, faster completion and leveraged learning. How We Can Help ... Alternate Futures' 24X7WORLDWIDE.COM lets you capture the learning and experience of a project or team and redeploy it on future tasks without your people having to "reinvent the wheel" each time.

Are most of your "projects" really just ad hoc collaborations?

Negative impact ... Solution benefits ... Tom Peters and other experts say that most work is not "project-based" collaborations of divergent players, across disciplines and even across organizations. Email is insufficient and prevents future users from applying the lessons learned on other future projects. Providing a centralized place for all the content of a project or collaborative effort means the organization retains the information and learning, sparing future teams from having to reinvent the wheel. The result is more productivity, faster completion and leveraged learning. How We Can Help ... 24X7WORLDWIDE.COM is explicitly designed for the kind of ad hoc project/taskforce work that is the staple of knowledge workers today.  24X7WORLDWIDE.COM provides that centralized location to store and manage the communal learning across your organization.

We have Project Managers, why would we need KCR?

Negative impact ... Solution benefits ... Knowledge Capture and Redeployment might be thought of as Project Management for the Rest of Us. There are other solutions for building a bridge or other more formal tasks. Since the majority of knowledge workers form fluid and dynamic associations for the purpose of accomplishing tasks, failure to capture that experience is a lost opportunity. A recent IDC report stated that companies spend millions of dollars on duplicating knowledge they already have. Capturing this information for re-use saves real hard dollars! How We Can Help ... Alternate Futures' 24X7WORLDWIDE.COM lets you capture the learning and experience of a project or team and redeploy it on future tasks without your people having to "reinvent the wheel" each time.
