• Revolutionary Planning

    Everybody knows that communication and collaboration are what makes projects successful. This is why Communigram takes on a new approach to planning. Rather than plan time, you can simply draw the communication flows and collaboration links needed for project success graphically in an interactive diagram called the Communigram.

    Everything you draw in the Communigram then magically comes to life: everybody involved in the project will immediately know what to do, who she needs to be doing it with, and with whom she and the team should be communicating. There is no simpler and more effective way to get people organized.

  • Enterprise-Grade Collaboration

    It's already difficult for two people to communicate. So how difficult is it when dozens of people need to work together in a project, perhaps from different departments, with different backgrounds and professions, maybe even working in different countries, with different national and corporate cultures? The answer is of course: very difficult indeed.

    Communigram cannot solve all the problems related to collaboration, but it can definitely get a lot of the basics sorted out. With Communigram, you graphically draw the collaboration and communication between people, making it transparent and understandable to everybody involved. This collaboration immediately comes to life with interactive tools for everybody, and, thanks to an enterprise-grade architecture, for an unlimited number of people, projects, organizations, and tasks.

  • Method-Driven Manageware

    Things never go as planned in projects. To quickly adapt to new situations, Communigram integrates the management methodology "Business Communication Engineering" (BCE).

    Tools are just tools. The really hard part in using them is acquiring the right skills to use them effectively. This is why we develop management techniques in conjunction with the Communigram tools, and test them in real projects. The successful techniques become part of the BCE methodology, and some of them are translated into software - what we call "Manageware". This combination of methodology and manageware is what makes a real difference in managing your projects more effectively.

 

Why doesn't anybody read the project plan? Why is it never updated? Why are we always late?

Getting yourself organized is already difficult enough. Maybe you are using Getting Things Done (GTD) or some other technique to keep on the ball. But what happens when you have the work of several people to organize?

Making people work efficiently in teams is really hard to do. It's just too easy for people to work on the wrong things, have several work on the same thing, or simply do it in the wrong way. All of this leads to rework, delays, frustration, and of course tremendous costs.

This is where Communigram can really help you. Simply draw a Communigram of who should be doing what, with whom, and to whom the result should be sent, and this information will be pushed with clear instructions to all people concerned.

From now on, everybody always knows what to do.

Did these people get in touch? What are they working on? What is the latest status? When will this be done?

Help your team members get organized: using an interactive "myCommunigram", everybody immediately sees what they should be working on and who they need to collaborate with to achieve the best results. They also get secure access to all relevant documentation.

From myCommunigram, people also interact with the people shown as collaboration partners by exchanging messages and documents. Yet unlike when using e-mail, all collaboration and communication is transparent: everybody knows which people have been working together, and what information they have exchanged.

From now on, the collaboration in your projects is under control.

Tired of hounding people down? Tired of excuses? Tired of not knowing what is going on?

Through the combination of smart planning and smart collaboration, Communigram creates an environment that is like a control tower: everybody always knows what is going on in each project. To make this transparency truly useful, Communigram is backed with a refined package of best management practices called "Business Communication Engineering" (BCE).

BCE focuses on defining the communication needed to make your business successful, and providing the best management tools to keep this communication going, even when difficulties occur. When used appropriately, people constantly keep each other informed about their progress and arising difficulties. These difficulties are efficiently addressed through various management mechanisms that have been developed and tested in real-life situations.

From now on, you have a set of management tools that help you get your project back on track.
