Your key TeamFrame benefit is that it provides competitive advantage by efficiently assigning work and tracking progess on repeatable service activities at distributed sites.

 

TeamFrame provides you with a more cost effective way of executing complex services work - not just "a man and a van" work, but small to medium projects that involve a number of activity participants who need to synchonise their activities. For example, these can be 5 days to 6 month projects that involve 3 to 30 people, and have 10 to 500 outputs.

These projects can represent up to 80% of the repeatable staff activity in your organization that can be "commoditised" and "standardised".

 

If this work is currently managed in spreadsheets, standalone difficult-to-use project management tools, home-grown database applications or just via emailed documents and instructions you can improve your service activity margins. Without a distributed, centrally managed and connected solution, cost control, status tracking, job costing, progress reporting, resource allocation, risk management, as well as contractor engagement and performance management become difficult to reliably achieve.

  •   Small projects need to be managed, because many small
            projects are worth as much as a few large ones.  
 
  •   For many smaller repeatable projects, templates provide
            the path to sanity.  
  •   TeamFrame is the only solution aimed at small repeatable
             tasks in your service organisation.  
  •   TeamFrame concentrates on tracking your workforce, not
            your workflow.    

According to Project Management World Today (www.pmforum.org)

“Small projects can't afford a dedicated project manager, much less a staff of PM support personnel. And trying to run multiple projects limits a shared project manager's close iteration with each project. This is especially true for organizations without coherent enterprise project prioritization, that is, for almost all the organizations in my industry. As a result, most small-project teams are left to fend for themselves ....... Relying on even a full time project manager to exercise the knowledge, skill and influence needed to handle the myriad issues and decisions in a timely manner is an obsolete notion, one that should have been abandoned along with hierarchical, command-and-control project management structures. “

Crux Cybernetics specialises in collaborative business management and process knowledge tools. These improve workforce performance, significantly reduce administration overheads and provide a robust and practical mechanism for the capture, sharing and application of corporate memory.

Command and control > Self organising teams > Collaboration

On the continuum above, TeamFrame is in the middle - solving the problems of a rigid project management structure with its inherrent bottlenecks and communication breakdowns, while being very output and delivery focused.

Designed for use from boardroom to storeroom, TeamFrame is a complete project and process knowledge management solution for smaller service delivery projects. TeamFrame provide timely, accurate and focused information to business activity resources and stakeholders no matter where they are. This means that sub-contractors, vendors, partners, and customers can all be quickly connected to the work they need to do to execute and move on.

With no software installation, just 30 minutes training and less than 10 minutes data entry per resource day, your best-practice projects, activities and initiatives stay on track and aligned with your business goals. The resulting data provides a rich and powerful source of knowledge about individual, departmental or portfolio performance to benefit all aspects of the company – in reviews, and in tactical and strategic planning.

TeamFrame enables companies to use Internet and mobile technologies to connect large and small distributed teams to the information they need to reliably track and complete scheduled work.

TeamFrame helps managers analyse knowledge and processes used within their company, and the associated usage outcomes, to focus on areas for improvement that will deliver the greatest and/or quickest return on investment.

TeamFrame empowers teams to improve performance and deliver results through capture, exchange and application of business knowledge.
