webSCW stands for "web supported cooperative work".
It is a system for the computer-assisted cooperation of project
groups using the Internet. It runs completely in your Internet-Browser.
If you organize idea conferences or project meetings frequently you might
notice a lack of efficiency and structure of the meeting. Or if you are
are annoyed by the insufficient honesty and productivity of the
participants - webSCW is possibly the right solution for you. With
webSCW you are able to:
discuss freely in a virtual meeting room
find ideas in Brainstormings
categorize ideas
evaluate ideas
freely configure and generate meeting reports
organize surveys
make available background information
invite participants and administer reactions
plan, supervise and freely adapt the workflow of your meeting
With a good planning of your meeting and a consistent use of webSCW
you can reach a large number of positive effects for the process of
decision preparing. E.g.:
shortening of the needed meeting time
better structured meeting workflow
cost cutting
less training needed
opinions are expressed frankly and honestly because af the anonymity
PS: webSCW is in no case meaned to be an replacement of personal contact
between team members. A number of boring and fruitless meetings should be
very probably, though.
