In the age of nformation over load how can PM or BA effect change on stakeholders where email is the uber form of communication.

However, our headquarters is located in a major American city. One of the most vexing projects which resides in my office is to gather and standardize tools (procedures, forms, guides, training) from our 50 or so offices worldwide and to then make them available from centralized location so that all offices have access to this shared knowledge. The kicker is that our international offices are often located in some of the least developed countries in the world, where internet access (even in capital cities) can be rudimentary at best. Asking staff to simply "check the intranet" is more easily said than done, especially when intranet designers often cater to a "high bandwidth" audience. Prior to visiting villages where absolutely no internet access is available, our field staff need to somehow be able to download our repository of organizational tools for use at the grassroots level. This means finding a way for staff to keep an off-line copy of our organizational tools which still synchronizes with a bloated intranet which is otherwise inaccessible . . .

For example you want to view de master plan of a PMO (Project Management Office). I think is something very difficult to do.

IT techs need to quickly and easily update the staff/computer inventory list with each new computer they install or service. We have 1400 staff, each with multiple computers. We managers need to know who has what computer, which techs are updating the list, ensure that each field is filled in and the terminology is consistent. Without a program that can make this dummy-proof, the list is a managing nightmare. How do you get 30 IT techs to update a staff computer list from multiple working sites?

Since he cannot be techincally strong and not ready for any change with his ongoing process eventhough tedious, its difficult to implement collaboration systems within a company like manufacturing industry. hence we feel the most hardest part as the implementation process of an completed project, as the project output is measured based on the ROI and how it had reached the enduser for benefits.

We need a way to track the fiscal side, on-going research, supporting materials needed, generated data and papers, personnel, etc. Not to mention KPI's to satisfy both grantors and our Board of Directors. I know how to do bits and piecs, but not how to put it all together. Our small non-profit is plagued by how to better handle our multi-year grants.
