∗ Efficiently manage a range of policies and procedures to comply with quality management and regulatory requirements.

∗ Improve processes, documentation and tracking of outputs for training programs and other activities.

Our Needs

∗ Task based navigation divided into divisional areas

∗ With limited knowledge – WorkVentures continued the development and implementation.

What happened next?

∗ Functional vs “pretty”

Guiding Principles

For Implementation

Under Development

∗ Things have worked well so far, no issue worth noting.

∗ Our remaining challenge is how to link employees who do not have computers at their desk.

∗ Response to system is overwhelmingly positive.

∗ As internal system expertise increases, we’ll improve aesthetics and consider use of other languages.

∗ 2 cents worth of advice:“Design to match organisational strategy,Implement to match organisational capacity.”

In Conclusion…
