Weaver Collaboration Matrix Model simulates real-world business operations, creating a cohesive internal network where functional modules interact seamlessly. This model promotes highly collaborative interactions between modules, enabling a management system that efficiently accesses information from across the platform.
How does collaboration management work in organisational units
If we understand an organisation in the abstract, there are always seven fundamental elements in any company or unit: people, processes (or workflows), documents, customer resources, project events, physical assets and finance. These elements do not exist in isolation but are highly interconnected and circulate between different departments within the organisational structure.
As the leader of a company or unit, it is essential to gather comprehensive information. For example, if a CEO wants to understand an employee within the company, they will look at various aspects: the employee’s task completion, contribution and accumulation of knowledge, management of customers or suppliers, involvement in projects, participation in approval processes (or approval workflows), and ultimately the costs incurred, and profits generated within the organisation. These details are critical to an assessment of an employee’s performance that goes beyond mere personnel records.
Therefore, how can these universally critical management needs be effectively addressed?
From traditional point-of-view, traditional approaches tend to propose solutions from a one-dimensional, single view of information. This often results in the creation of separate systems for customer management, document management, people management and workflow management.
While these systems may temporarily solve specific problems within an organisation, the key challenge lies in the interconnected nature of these elements, which require holistic management.
Managing customers effectively requires managing people well, and fully evaluating an employee’s performance requires capturing all traces of their work within the organisation.
Organisations have long sought a solution that can comprehensively manage all elements of their operations on a platform that operates in a multi-dimensional manner. And the Collaboration Matrix Model within the Weaver e-cology platform is designed to address this critical organisational need.
Application of Collaboration Matrix Model in Weaver e-cology
Collaboration Matrix Model
To effectively address the need for multi-dimensional management of all elements across different departments within an organisation, Weaver has designed the “Collaboration Matrix Model”.
First, the Weaver e-cology platform integrates the seven elements of enterprise management (people, processes, documents, customer resources, project events, physical assets and finance) into a unified platform.
Through the Collaboration Matrix Model, Weaver e-cology simulates real-world enterprise operations, ensuring highly coordinated interactions between functional modules.
This capability enables the retrieval of all relevant information related to any given information node within the enterprise information network, thus achieving true internal collaborative management and teamwork.
Weaver Collaboration Matrix Model provides a solution for managing enterprise information networks: within the system, when a user accesses one piece of information, all related information is also accessible.
For example, if you locate a salesperson within the company, all relevant information – such as personal financial details (salary, benefits, costs, expenses), clients managed, documents authored, subordinates managed, projects involved, company assets utilised and current work arrangements – is linked and quickly retrievable, much like a woven network of information derived from the employee’s profile.
