Scanning methods

Project or Program focus

Encouraging associates to browse latest Insights and Trends added by others, or to use a web-based scanning system every time they start a project or program or need to consider future implications of their actions, is a way of creating a forward-thinking culture. This brings similar benefits in terms of making sense of ideas and views held in the organization by aggregation and visualization.
