LIFT07 Conference, Geneva, Switzerland

Day 1 - morning session: “D.I.Y Monitoring and Evaluation”

This was an interesting workshop about how to monitor and evaluate any type of project when you don’t want / can’t spend too much money on it. The workshop presentation is made available by the presenter (Glenn O’Neil) on his blog, Intelligent Measurement. The main thing I noted was that there are easy and cheap ways to monitor (know what is going on during a project) and evaluate (see what happened) your projects. Educating stakeholders and getting their buyin in order to be able to use monitoring and evalations methods is a related issue that needs to be considered.

Day 1 - afternoon session: “Collaboration and Innovation in Workspace that Works”

Clark Elliott made a very nice presentation about workspaces and how they affect collaboration, working habits, corporate culture, cultures, employer-employee relationship. We covered many topics related to how office spaces are designed: architecture, furnitures, space, interactions, online vs. offline collaboration, new working tools, wireless, mobile workers, etc. His presentation will also be made available soon. I will provide the link as soon as I have it.

Thanks to both presenters, I really enjoyed both sessions and am looking forward to meet new people at tomorrow’s first conference day. Read more about the LIFT07 Conference.
