There are many methods and software tools that claim to make it easier to work together.  But few provide an easy way to keep plans up-to-date and to actually keep work coordinated.  Without smart planning and coordination software, the goal of anyone working with anyone from anywhere at any time cannot be realised.

TASKey Me2Team work networking software includes patented “plan as you go” and smart coordination methods that keep distributed work coordinated for you.  It is easy to work together from anywhere at any time.

TASKey has created a software tool that makes it easy to manage all your tasks together. Me2team creates a personal task tree, where the relationships between tasks and the people involved are easy to see. The tasks can be drawn from strategies, projects, initiatives, changes, processes or any other activity. Each task contains To Do's. A personal To Do list is automatically created as a consolidated list of relevant To Do's from all tasks. Tasks are completed by doing the To Do's.

There is little argument about the need for and benefits of effective governance to an organization’s bottom line.  But sustaining governance processes is a major challenge.  Proactive governance supported by software, provides feedback in real-time, and increases productivity by reducing the time, effort and stress required for effective governance.

Many organizations spend a lot of time and effort evolving policies, processes and workflows to ensure that their organization is being effectively governed.  But how can they be certain that these governance practices are actually being implemented?

To get plans done successfully, you need to first develop a plan that is easy to understand.  Then you need to get people to work together to implement the plan.

This sounds easy, but it can be very difficult to achieve in practice.  Developing a plan that is understandable and doable for everyone involved is usually time consuming and stressful.  But it doesn’t need to be.

 Plans take time and effort to develop and implement, but this is a good investment. If you can also save time, effort and stress by reusing a plan, then the investment has even more value.

Ideally, a plan that will be reused should document the goal; context; who did what, when and with whom; and the specific resources that were needed.

Accountability cannot exist without proper accounting practices; in other words, an absence of accounting means an absence of accountability” – Wikipedia entry on Accountability.

Just as financial accountability requires records of financial transactions; personal, team and organisational accountability requires records of what has been done to achieve goals.  Both financial accountability, and personal, team and organisational accountability requires progressive records in context, because people quickly forget what needs to happen or what has actually happened
 

Service providers need an efficient interaction with clients to get work done and minimize stress. But both service providers and their clients have many competing priorities that make productive interactions hard to sustain. 

One of the greatest challenges is getting on and staying on the same sheet of music. Any lack of clarity about what needs to be done and who is going to do it, wastes time and effort and builds stress.

Developing plans that are easy for all team members to understand and implement is not easy.  However without a workable plan, a lot of time and effort is wasted trying to achieve a task goal.  A simple Plan-on-a-Page has been shown to be an easy way to create and manage a team plan.

The Plan-on-a-Page template has been used by tens of thousands of people in over 175 countries.   The feedback has been that even people with no management training can create a workable plan in around 10 minutes.
