Why is WorkPool Redefining Traditional
Business Thinking?
WorkPool is a business philosophy, a new way of thinking that
offers the business immediate gratification with real, quantifiable
business benefits from day one. WorkPool was developed to provide
solutions to traditional business problems, i.e. the lack of
effective and efficient collaboration, communication, task
management, etc. WorkPool unifies the users to operate in one
cohesive system, providing them with one interface to the
business and through this dramatically increasing efficiency,
service ethic and the quality of outputs.
WorkPool is an award-winning, off-the-shelf business nervous system.
WorkPool brings transparency, accountability and responsibility to
the organization by unifying the various users, business functions
and systems in the organization into a structured information pool
which users access via a generic business dashboard. These functions
include, but are not limited to, task management, CRM, electronic
filing, office communication, time & diary management, project
management, asset management and real-time reporting.
WorkPool allows for the seamless integration of staff and team
members' daily activities in order to address general business
inefficiencies and promote teamwork, productivity and avoid
miscommunication. With WorkPool you can manage your company, office,
or team from anywhere in the world! Whatever the size, industry
sector or geographical location of your company, WorkPool can
transform your office environment, redefine your business and revolutionize
the way you see your own business forever!
The Business Nervous System Philosophy
Definition: "An organization
(including its resources, information and communication) in its
entirety is a single body like any other organism found in nature,
and therefore subject to the same rules as any other natural
organism."
In essence, a business nervous system relates to a business in the
same way that the human nervous system relates to the human body.
Our nervous system is a fundamental, primal component of our anatomy
which connects our senses and other anatomical systems to our brain.
This allows us to operate as a single entity and act and react
within split seconds based on impulses and messages (i.e. inputs and
outputs) from our brain. The function of the business nervous system
is exactly the same to business and is responsible for unifying
business activities (events), systems (sources) and users
(resources) into a single coherent system.
Using
the analogy between the human and business nervous systems and the
illustration on the right as reference, consider the following:
Imagine that you put your hand in an open flame and your brain only
received the message that your hand was burning a minute thereafter.
Imagine if it received opinionated information, or misinformation -
the arm decided there was no danger and nothing to be concerned
about! Imagine another minute had to pass before the hand received
the instruction to pull away. Yet in business this happens all the
time - our pool of information is incomplete, disjointed, or
sometimes even nonexistent. This could cause information to get
lost, take ages to be communicated to the appropriate person or
decision maker, or sometimes go to the wrong person altogether who
may decide on a course of action without all the facts! A human body
in this state would be classified as disabled or dysfunctional, yet
our companies have been "disabled" for years with users
and entire departments operating as independent entities rather than
a single, coherent entity.
WorkPool Unifies Users and Systems from a User
Perspective
The concept of a business nervous system emerged as a practical
solution to users and organizations seeking a single, intuitive and
cost-effective solution to unify their various disparate systems,
organizational units and users across various industries and
organizations. WorkPool (as a business nervous system) does not
approach business from a functional perspective, but rather from an
end-user (or business) perspective. WorkPool believes the user
experience is paramount, and the only constant in business is
"change" itself. With all the IT spend in the world,
software and projects still fail because organizations underestimate
the human element and cannot predict and plan for every possible
event. Therefore WorkPool is not limited by current systems,
configurations or current known business requirements. It is,
instead, uniquely able to establish control and structure to
information and general chaos through an intuitive interface which
can evolve and adapt on a continuous basis to address the
organization's ever-changing requirements. WorkPool does not believe
that one system will provide you with all the solutions, but that
you can use one system to navigate various solutions,
whatever they may be. As a result WorkPool created a horizontal
solution which has been applied successfully to many vertical
industries, niche-markets and specific business applications to set
the standard as the first and pre-eminent business nervous system
solution.
