WebCo@ch: Development and Implementation of Knowledge-Intensive Services in the Digital Production

Initial Situation

The efficient management of various partners and resources in a highly dynamic environment include frequently observed problems (e.g. multimedia companies): unrealistic cost estimates of projects, lack of knowledge in the area of customer management, inadequate project monitoring, coordination of different services, inadequate risk management tools or lack of knowledge management.

Realization

As a part of the project a WebCo@ch platform with the following components will be developed:

  • Collaboration platform to support communication, coordination and collaboration of coaches and coachees.
  • Providing coaching guides on project-specific topics as an orientation aid and coaching guide for coaches.
  • Reference documents on project-specific topics as best practice examples.
  • Tools for project-specific topics to support e.g. analysis, reporting and monitoring of the coaching event.

The platform enables contact and communication between coach and coachee, the mutual coordination of labor activities, the meeting of decentralized decisions, coordinating appointments and activities and the creation and editing of common material.
