Collaboration in a digital age

The_college_working_seminar

The College hosted a seminar on collaborative working last Thursday. We had some very interesting guests from a variety of organisations.

Our experts talked about the great opportunities for collaboration given advances in technology. We also presented five key principles for successful collaboration: getting management on board; having a clear objective; creating and following an agreed roadmap; creating the right user experience; and guiding users before, during and after roll-out.

The College team presenters were Guy Lane and Desiree Collier, Partners, and Fia Virtala, User Experience Lead Adviser.

Our technical partner, David Gardiner, of UniTech, showed how Sharepoint 2010 can be used to meet clients' objectives. One good example of this is a project for British Transport Police. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Miller, Head of Special Branch, Covert Policing & Force Intelligence Bureau gave us a fascinating insight into the collaborative tools he is using for his national team.
