Podcast: Ryan Freitas on Collaboration

by Ryan Freitas

The good folks over at IT Conversations have posted my presentation from this August’s User Experience Week, “Facilitating Collaboration: Web Technologies that Work“. Here’s the relevant portion of the presentation’s abstract:

With an eye towards helping Interaction Designers and Managers choose their collaborative tools effectively, we’ll survey the landscape of what’s available and why it’s important. We’ll take a look at the factors that shape adoption, from uptake strategies to degrees of commonality and centralization. Finally, we’ll look at how some organizations are combating email overload by employing “governance architectures” to structure their use of these tools.

I had a great time giving this talk, and people seemed to really enjoy it. I did my best to keep the focus on what teams need to work together effectively, rather than just do a competitive analysis of the available tools. I’ll post the slides as soon as I can get Wordpress to stop throwing script errors during the upload. The deck is available for download from the IT Conversations page linked above. Listen, follow along, and enjoy.
