Development Seed
Dynamic portals can be integrated into program operations to improve communications between teams on the ground and their offsite associates, no matter where team members are located in the world. Specifically, social software such as blogs, wikis, and RSS readers can be integrated into portals to help organizations improve their internal communications.
This presentation will look at how dynamic portals can be used to improve your organization’s communications and will specifically use examples from how The World Bank and World Resources Institute are currently using these tools together to connect its geographically dispersed teams.
The target audience of this presentation are project managers who are frustrated with keeping up with hundreds of emails every day and are looking for solutions to effectively deal with information overload. This presentation aims to cut though the buzzwords and look at how these tools can be used within organizations’ existing intranets and how simple solutions can lead to huge performance improvements within teams.
I will show how internal blogs can help teams better communicate and improve accountability compared to long email threads. I will explain what makes up a wiki and how basic information management with versioning and good user control can serve as a collaborative space and an information repository that organically evolve over the life of a project. Lastly I will discuss how RSS and news aggregators can save managers time each day by bringing the news they need to them.
