Collaboration Index – Press Release

Press Release July 2017

COLLABORATION INDEX™

Collaboration Index, CIX, is a Change Management and Digital Empowerment cloud platform, based on a unique “quantified self” approach, providing confidential feedback & personal dashboards to each individual, with gamification features. CIX is today the only solution available to unlock the full digital power of ALL employees, regardless of the organisation’s size and location.

Why Collaboration Index?

➮ Usual Change Management actions based on support and consulting are limited, expensive, and cannot address very large numbers of employees.

➮ The common model based on champions + trainings or e-learning will never reach ALL employees with the powerful and timely messages offered by CIX

➮ CIX enables massive adoption of cloud collaboration suites like G Suite, Office 365, Smartsheet, Yammer and Slack, and a lot more planned in the roadmap

➮ Thanks to CIX and its innovative quantified self approach :

Each user is able to take control of his/her own personal change management process,
Up to hundreds of thousands employees in the same firm can be reached and coached at the same time.

Ingredients of Collaboration Index:

Big Data
Artificial Intelligence
Virtual coacching
Micro-Learning
Gamification
Change Management
Employee Centric

Groundbreaking innovation on two levels

Individual Coaching employee centric
- Collaboration Index™ measures in real time the actual digital skills and adoption level of each individual, with a daily comprehensive analysis of his/her activities and interactions within the major collaboration platforms (G Suite, Office 365, …)
- A virtual coach sends daily targeted recommendations to each person, based on actual activity and performance level, to help improve digital skills in own rythm.

Each employee receives this information daily on a strictly confidential basis. This is the first time the «quantified self » approach is being applied to the corporate world, integrating motivating playful emulation, challenges and benchmarking.

Monitoring for the benefit of the organisation :
- Team dashboards, department dashboards and country/area dashboards provide comparative measurement of groups skills and adoption progress at all times
- CIX can be used as a communication platform for targeting fine tuned training and change management messages, adapted to specific skills or usage categories. (Best practices, use cases, e-learning, etc.)
