Risking oversimplification, the business of a consultant is managing information in support of decision making. In today’s wired corporation, highly qualified consultants can no longer rely on traditional overhead projectors for critical business meetings. Fast access to business data within a company intranet as well as information sources in the World Wide Web, make the use of effective "meeting ware" a must for any leading consulting company.

groupVision specializes in training and assisting consultants and consultancy companies who want to successfully incorporate groupware technologies in their business. These can be used internally for productivity improvement or externally to broaden the value-chain of an existing knowledge management business.

To learn more about these powerful collaboration tools in different contexts visit our Products and Services section or go to next page for a short introduction about our value propositions.

Research has shown that meeting durations decrease more than 40% and project times can decrease as much as 90% with group support technology. Our participant feedback surveys have consistently rated groupware support in meetings at a much higher level of satisfaction, participation and results.

Yet, few managers realise that the information that is shared and produced in a meeting is the most important element in a knowledge creating organisation.

In most cases, creative solutions are lost in the heat of the discussions. Compromises are often made for fear of superiors or colleagues. Not everyone is heard and decision making is often long-winded. Participants openly show their boredom or become irritated. The ultimate result of the meeting is seldom what was expected.

Groupware technology can make a decisive impact in your meetings. We are experts in the adoption of the awarded SMART Board interactive whiteboard and a suite of collaboration software, from mind mapping to remote conferencing, including in-depth group assessment with Zing Software.

Besides our groupware implementation services, we also design ad hoc Collaborative Work Systems (CWS) as the right meeting initiative for your company. These capabilities can be combined with your knowledge expertise to deliver unique product offers in varied domains, ranging from systems implementation to design-oriented approaches to strategy making.

Our groupware tools and methodologies can be applied in a variety of ways, from a simple brainstorming workshop to a series of permanent events in a public initiative.
