ISS Seminar - Online Collaboration: Fact or Fiction?

Online Collaboration is the child of Knowledge Management and the Internet - the "working" partner of Social Media, a new paradigm of professional cooperation in organisations made possible by the social capabilities of the web. It is also the open secret to solving the productivity problems entrenched in many companies stuck in the world of emails and silos. Implementing and adopting online collaboration is, however, easier said than done.

In this seminar, you will hear:

State of online collaboration in Singapore
Overview of selected online collaboration tools
