1.3: Connections

Keep collaborators connected for faster decision making.

Other Information:

This involves moving collaboration from a document-mediated, asynchronous activity to a live-session real-time phenomenon. The enabling technologies here include everything from instant messaging and texting, to presence detection and mobile device support, to video conferencing and high-definition telepresence. All these systems attack the problem of response latency, thereby allowing managers catch problems earlier and move group decision-making ahead faster. By by-passing the document in favor of the live session, they can often head off misunderstandings before they even arise.
