Collaboration and Social Media

In many industry sectors companies are increasingly embracing the new opportunities that the spread of social media brings, through external facing PR and advertising, crowd sourcing and fostering online memberships of groups and sites aligned with their interests. Coupled with this, some are starting to use internal systems and processes that build on the comfort that increasing numbers of people have with such systems, to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing.

E&P companies have not been at the forefront in seizing these opportunities, and many organisations struggle to understand the benefits and ramifications of collaboration and social media platforms. Our consultants have extensive experience in all aspects of information management across the E&P life-cycle, and we understand how the new tools and systems can support the business.

Whether it is using technical solutions to capture real time interactions, facilitating knowledge transfers across time and space through forums, chat rooms and team websites, enhancing organisation effectiveness through social network analysis, improving knowledge sharing through social platforms, or simply making the most of existing systems to grasp more of their potential, Venture has experience in developing collaborative working within business functions and across companies as a whole.
