Lunch & Learn: Wiki Use Case: Managing Team Meetings--Agendas, Minutes and Tasks |
Project management tools are great for managing and presenting the highly structured elements of a project: resources, milestones, time-line, and budget. But they are not as effective for managing the unstructured information and the their inter-linkages: documents, notes, meeting agendas, and specifications. Wikis provide an on-line workspace for a project team to store and manage unstructured documents that's browser accessible. Learn tips on how wikis can cut the time needed to reach consensus on project deliverables when a deadline looms. You will leave with a practical understanding of usage models that leverage the distinct strengths of wikis for global project teams. This session will be presented by Sean Murphy, principal of SKMurphy Inc. (http://www.skmurphy.com). |

Windows SharePoint, a Microsoft add-on to Windows Server 2003, offers web and intranet functionality. It is a powerful collaboration tool as well as an application development platform.

In this session, we will explain and demonstrate the benefits of Windows SharePoint, and how it can be used to enhance collaboration and information management within a team or an organization. |

Lunch & Learn: Facebook in action |
Facebook is a social networking website, launched on February 4, 2004. Initially the membership of Facebook was restricted to students of Harvard College. It was subsequently expanded to other colleges, and then high schools and some large companies, and finally to the public. Worldwide membership was approaching 60 million users at the end of 2007. The question is why should we care? What is social networking anyway? What capabilities does Facebook offer? What are the popular Facebook Applications and what is the Facebook Application Platform? What impact does this have on business and what is the future of Facebook and social networking look like? |

You may have heard about Virtual Words, or more specifically about Second Life (one of the popular Virtual Words platforms), or you may have already experimented with them, and you may be wondering about their applications and impact on your business in the future.

Lunch & Learn: Social networking in action |
Social networks are communities of people who share interests and activities and are interested in exploring these interests and activities with others. Social networking has become a phenomenon and went beyond the social aspect to become an integral part of business, especially as the lines between personal and business lives continues to blur. |
