Organisations: For What Purpose?

For What Purpose?

Project communication

Set up a own channel for your project files and communication. You can add text, pictures, links and presentations – and all can be commented by the others. If the project is for your eyes only, no problem. Just set the channel privacy accordingly.

Knowledge sourcing

Ask a question on a dedicated 'sourcing' channel and see if the others know the answer! The sourcing channel can be used on various topics varying from high tech to everyday problems.

Live feed and event notes

Have a good seminar coming or are attending an interesting event? Why not share the information with your colleagues? The event channel can be used sharing a live comment feed from various events. And what's best, you can check the notes from the people attending the event afterwards and get the best bits.

Linkroll

Found a excellent reading or a must see video? Share it to your peers by posting a link to the resource on a dedicated 'linkroll' channel. A linkroll channel is a perfect way of sharing collectively the best resources found online.

Open innovation and collaboration

Have something bigger going on and want to gather comments from as wide as possible? Or are you working on a report, a plan or an article? If so, why not show it to the peers a bit before it's supposed to be ready? Collect the opinions, points of views, additional knowledge and make your work a lot better in oppose to work on it all by yourself.

Workstreaming

Want to beef up the internal communication? Bring in the workstreaming. Workstreaming is a process where attendees post short updates which answers the question 'what i am working on now'. The end result is a better understanding what is happening around you and also a quicker help from othes if some problems should arise!

A light extranet solution

Working on a project with people outside your organisation? You can create special extranet channels where one can invite visitors from outsite the organisation. This makes it possible to use channels as light extranet solutions.

Quick chats

Sometimes it's very efficent to just have a quick chat or check a fact or two from one of your colleagues. Email might be a bit heavy tool for that, but the inbuilt chat feature on Qaiku might prove to be just the thing. Check if your colleague is online and click once to start chatting.

Making some sense of it all

This is where your own stream jumps in. Get relevant updates to your own stream from your collegues, all of your projects, sourcing channels and linkrolls. Filter out the content you don't find interesting or needed at the moment. And of course; save everything useful to your own favorites page to find it easily later on.

Giving the laughs

Tired of having about one thousand and one humorous emails every week in your overly crowded inbox? Not to worry anymore, ask senders to post these inspirating emails to a dedicated channel instead! Your inbox is saved and you can still enjoy a small break in a humor land every now and then.

Other use cases

Is the above all you can do with Qaiku? Of course not, it's totally up to you. Qaiku offers a robust platform for online communication, collaboration and information sharing. You decide how you unleash its power!
