[edit] Registration
The registration process is electronically and also is providing you the opportunity to join the AMI@Work communities as you are interested by joining this event. The information you provide in this registration will be publicly shared among AMI community members to facilitate professional AMI related collaboration (no other use of it is allowed).
Deadline for registration is June 20th 2006. Roomspace is limited so early registration is strongly recommended.
[edit] Introduction
Constantly changing customer demands and intense global competitive environment imposes the compelling need to better support knowledge workers, operating as eProfessionals, within creativity sessions and innovation tasks while increasing inter-personal productivity in order to remain competitive on the global market. As a consequence, working organisation is shifting towards networked individuals driven simultaneously by the necessity of focusing on core competency while stimulating the emergence of creative ideas and breakthrough innovation. These in turn push organisations to implement new ways of working and interacting among diverse competency fields that require more effective and efficient collaborative approaches.
[edit] CWE workshop goal and preparative work
This workshop is intended to gather all interested CWE projects' partners as well as external participants into the development of a CWE common understanding through the use of a wiki platform as a community effort. This workshop will apply the famous mottos "Practice what you preach!" and "Together Everyone Achieves More!(TEAM)" which means it will really be a working session where participants will have achieved something together in an open collaboration mode. Instructions and more details about the use of the wiki platform and way of collaborating will be provided in due time but will be ready before the event in order to allow participants to contribute before the workshop in uploading papers, position papers and any other useful documents such as study reports, surveys, vision documents, roadmaps,scenario descriptions, and lessons learned reports. All documents will be linked through the most relevant concepts and participants will also provide a list of concepts of their interest. All those preparation activities will help to organise the different Working Groups within the workshop and ensure a proper level of interaction among participants and groups. This is probably the first time, worldwide, that the "people-concepts networking" approach will be applied during a working event.
[edit] CWE workshop objectives
Objectives of this workshop, fully dedicated to Collaborative Working Environments, are to:
- review existing vision, roadmaps, studies and surveys
