CollaborWriting
is the facilitated application of groupware technology to achieve
breakthrough results for:

- Knowledge
and Opinion Exchange
|
Led by a seasoned facilitator, participants
work either face-to-face or from a distance via the WWW, each one
using a computer linked with Group Decision Support System (GDSS)
groupware. Distance sessions are accompanied by a telephone conference
and can dramatically reduce the expense associated with travel.
With a pre-developed goal-directed agenda, participants blend traditional
meeting activities with the application of technology to simultaneously
generate ideas, responses and opinion.
Sessions are streamlined with computer-based, quick calculations
of group rating, ranking, voting and other methods of opinion clarification.
Identification of consensus and disagreement is instantaneous.
Time together and verbal discussion is more efficiently focused
while the quality of work is greatly improved over traditional facilitation
techniques. Because all activity is built as a collective database,
printed or file-based reporting is available to all at any time.
CollaborWriting sessions are designed to maximize group productivity
by getting the most out of each individual. Because the CollaborWriting
technology is so easy to use, you can expect full participation.
Offered alternatives, responses and opinion can be generated anonymously
or with attribution. Anonymity places the focus on the value of
ideas, not on personalities, authority, position, gender, age, experience,
dialect or command of the language.
Every idea entered is seen by the entire group, which assures recognition.
In this 'safe' environment, individuals tend to be more open and
forthright in their responses. Working together also builds a we
as opposed to I atmosphere, which is a tremendous
team-building experience.
Sessions are carefully designed in advance and are facilitated by
a professional with well over a decade of full-time experience in
the medium. This frees those calling the session to participate
100% in the content with a minimum of attention on the process.
Sessions
can last from a few hours to several days, depending on the complexity
of your objectives. No matter what the duration, you can expect:
- Dramatic
Productivity Increases
- Higher
Quality Work
- Results
