Quantifying the value of Improved Collaboration
November 7th, 2006
I am about to begin a speaking tour along the east coast of Australia, with my presentation focusing on how to build the business case for collaborative technologies such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Windows Vista, Live Communications Server etc.
I must admit it has been an eye opening experience preparing this session. I could quite quickly turn this into a one or two day workshop, diving deep into all the issues, challenges, tools and techniques you can use to quantify the value of intangible assets (such as those that you can benefit from by successfully deploying collaborative technologies aligned with your business objectives).
I will be speaking in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne over the coming month. If you are looking for some insight into how to build the business case for any collaborative technology (not just Microsoft), I encourage you to come along.

I draw on quite a few resources, but one of the most valuable resources I have found has come from the Society for Knowledge Economics… an Australian based group comprised of Microsoft, CPA Australia, Institute of Actuaries of Australia, and Westpac. If you are interested in seeing how organisations in Australia deal with the issue of reporting on and managing intangible assets, check out the reports on their website.
And if you come along to one of the events, make sure you say g’day!

[...] This morning I presented the first of three sessions I am running about quantifying the value of collaboration (or more to the point, the quantifying the value of intangible assets). We had a great turnout in Sydney, and almost all of the feedback forms stated that it was a very useful session (unreal!) [...]
