IBM Lotusphere Comes to You 2009

What do you do when the chips are down?

Change the game plan with the Power of Community

You’re at the end of the final quarter. The scoreline is not in your favour. Yet, you know you’ve got the talent in your team. How do you get these talents to gel together on the playing field, and turn the game around? A recent IBM Global CEO Study found that 71 percent of companies surveyed believe that better business capabilities can be unlocked by leveraging existing expertise through collaboration.

The uncertainty in the current economic climate means that there’s never been a better time to leverage existing talent in your organisation, in order to unleash new ideas, create innovative capabilities, and maximise productivity. Can you bring your employees together regardless of location? Can you easily identify and connect with expert communities to build innovative solutions? How do you leverage existing I.T. assets to create new applications at the fraction of cost?

Kick the downturn at IBM Lotusphere Comes to You!
The synergy of combined wisdom and capabilities of the group greatly amplifies the contributions of each individual. That is essentially the power of community. IBM Lotusphere Comes to You showcases the best collaborative solutions that let you tap into this power and harness the collective knowledge of experts within and beyond the walls of your organisation.
