Group Applications: From Workflow to Work Management
Extract: Group applications will evolve and combine together to form a fundamentally new way of supporting collaborative work by assembling traditional applications (workflow, Groupware, collaboration, Knowledge Management) into a pervasive computing architecture supporting all the facets of information work: from its bulk part based upon structured processes, up to its collective advanced creative part. This will drastically change organization of work, as well as conceptual view of work itself, that will shift from individual contribution measurement to group outcome efficiency analysis. Work management, mixing new group support applications with new group oriented organization methodologies and management, will strongly impact economy through significant productivity progresses, as well as enhanced professional inventiveness, and managers’ effectiveness. |
