Using technology to aid global collaboration
Jacky King & Zsuzsanna Ujhelyi
Learning & Development at VSO International
VSO’s mission is to bring people together to fight poverty: but bringing people together within VSO is a challenge. The organisation is dispersed across 22 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia; diverse in their professional and cultural backgrounds and their client bases; and “strangers” in that they must build strong, trusting relationships with colleagues we may never meet face-to face. To meet these challenges, Jacky and Zsuzsanna set themselves three goals in late 2013: to provide the necessary technology for everyone to do their jobs well; to experiment with using this technology innovatively; and to access and share information about programmes effectively.
This presentation will take you through some of the ways they achieved these goals in 2014.
