The electronic platform supplied by Piwoot offers a technical implementation. The platform is a complete solution that provides automation for all the steps of further data processing and cleaning that were previously done manually. All data processed, including reports generated by contractors and suppliers, are delivered directly to the platform.
With Piwoot, you lead with knowledge and it is based on an understanding of the nature and meaning of data like in this Länsimetro case.
In conventional world - different stakeholders communicate through the project manager who then decides where the information flows and in which form. This is similar thinking that was in the old days in phone centers. Not really effective, right?
Information should be shared. In Now You Know strategy all the parties, for example contractors, engineers, manufacturers and the management share the data and communicate through the same platform. Status sharing could be thought of as sending postcards - there are nice pictures on the other side of the card and a story on the other side of the card on what is going on. The same analogy applies to Piwoot - The data is crunched into charts and interpretations are attached. This way possible bottle necks and conflicts are found and shared to right people and the the whole organisation can concentrate on solving those bottle necks and conflicts.
the management needs high level information of all the processes - to make sure they are aligned
the engineer needs information from the management - what does the owner want to be designed
the manufacturer needs information of the equipment
contractor needs delivery dates. (well, actually everyone needs delivery dates)
With Piwoot they can all optimize their needs into one single, coherent plan - where they can deliver the needed deliverables in right place in the right time.
We also know - people are good at what they do, but not as good in explaining it to others. Especially on what sharing the information to others actually needs. This means that people are using shotgun tactics - throwing a lot of paint on the wall and hoping that some of it will stay on the wall. This leads to information overflow and endless processing of information. This on the other hand creates not only a cost of processing but possibly “broken phone” problems, misunderstanding and generally distrust within the whole project. How many times you have acted as the detective - trying to gather information to understand what is really going on? With our system you don’t have to because:
Information Owners
copy-pastes information from different sources
the copy-pasted information is too-detailed and hard-to-read
there is no real inter-team collaboration
Information Readers
receive a ton of detailed information from everywhere
not able to understand the real statuses
can’t really help the team the right way
Information Owners
data is real-time and in the right format
analyse and interpret the data for others to understand the status
they receive ideas back from wide number of readers
Information Readers
receive easily readable information
the statuses are understandable
figures out new ideas and shares them
