Have you been following recent posts to this blog about the "$650 Billion Drag on the Economy" caused by what I call network overload?
If so, you may be interested to know that a tutorial is now available for the reference implementation of a Human Interaction Management System (HIMS) - a PDF that walks you step-by-step through basic usage of HumanEdj.
The tutorial is equivalent to a training course - if you want to do all the exercises, it takes a few hours to complete. Upgrade to the latest release of HumanEdj, and the tutorial will be available from the Help menu (choose Tutorial).
However, if you have limited time, you can get the document online (see link below) and in an hour or so read it without doing any exercises to gain a better understanding of what a HIMS is - and why you need one! The document includes hundreds of screenshots, to illustrate in full every action described.
TAKE AWAY
I believe that a step change is coming to the workplace.
In a few years, most people will no longer be locked in the endless nightmare cycle of globally CCed emails and mobile phone calls at ungodly hours. Neither will they be selecting programs from the Start menu or double-clicking on desktop shortcuts as the prelude to carrying out work using a computer.
Rather, they will be negotiating next steps with colleagues in their own and other organizations, using a clear visual representation of everyone's responsibilities and commitments, then executing their part of the "Stories" they have agreed with the help of intelligent software tools.
HumanEdj is the reference implementation of a HIMS (and it's free). If you want a glimpse of the future, check out the walkthrough at http://humanedj.com/faq#Tutorials
