The Workpad Project
Workpad helps organisations get better at getting things done. Workpad increases organisation productivity through efficient collaboration enabled by Artificial Intelligence.
The problem that we have observed is that as an organisation grow in size, the amount of unproductive hours increases rapidly in proportion to the amount of productive hours that are undertaken by members of that organisation whilst working to fulfil the objectives of that organisation. In others words as an organisation gets bigger, it gets less productive as it works to achieve its objectives.
There are many factors that contribute to the increase of unproductive time that an organisation spends during a working day. Trying to find people, trying to find data, misunderstandings, information flow, lack of understanding, lack of coordination are some of the common ones. But one thing that The WorkPad Project believes is that many of these factors can be removed with the correct application of technology.
We have created an integrated collaboration environment that is accessible across the web and mobile devices. The collaboration environment allows members of an organisation to create appropriate organisational structures and then to facilitate sharing, communication, and coordination activities between and within those structures.
Supporting the collaboration environment is an organisational database. This database holds key data points that have been observed during the collaboration of an organisation’s members as they carry out work. These data points are analysed and converted into organisational knowledge which is then used to determine who should do what and when to achieve an organisations objectives.
Underpinning the above is our adaptive workflow engine. The engine has the ability to move from structured to ad hoc operations when deemed necessary and to move from automated to manual operations when appropriate. Other workflow engines only allow a “one way”flow of control (ad hoc to structured, manual to automated). However, it has been shown that workflow needs to be more flexible than that. The ability for our workflow engine to adapt depending upon current circumstances within the organisation allows for optimum work performance to be achieved.
