“ PANTA REI” (Eraclito, 535-475 a.C.)

Several years ago, someone already summarized in two simple words something that we

daily accept in a passive or proactive way

Life is a flow of events, information, thoughts, ideas, moments that are willing to be kept

and painted on a white cloth. It is a flow of colors that a stroke of brush will merge and fix

to create a masterpiece

Are we always able to catch the moment and fix the right idea? Can we remember the

thin detail that would make the difference? Have we got a tool that makes it fast and

simple the merging of every single dot of color, in order to create a wonderful painting?

Jot.to is a workspace

where you are able to:

What’s Jot.to?

.

4 CONFIDENTIAL

1. Jot down any information you are thinking about

“Information”

could be everything you are able to drop

in a digital way, voice and hand-writing

included, through any sort of device you use

to collect data (text files, images, short

messages, video, documents, voice

recording, etc.)

Any information is called “knowdata”

1.

Jot down

“Jotting”

means that you are able to collect information without any kind

of categorization or prioritization

if you are thinking about something and at the same time an idea

or sentence comes up, you are able to simply note it in

somewhere

do not care if the information is well written or well designed

At that time you are just collecting data or drawing a path

following your mind maps

.

5 CONFIDENTIAL

2. Reorganize: understand if data could be useful

Once you have got information:

it is time to elaborate it,

analyzing the meaning and finding specific “keys”

that could be shared with other elements in the

workspace

18/06/2013 Jot.to @ IIBA Italy Chapter Innovation Challenge 2012-2013

2. Reorganize

For instance, if the information is a text file, it

means to highlight key-words

Otherwise, you have to associate related tags

or key-words that could fit information

NOTE: even if you identified specific key-words,

Jot.to will be able to find secondary tags to

associate, maybe “reading” doc indexes, slide

titles, file names, etc.

3. Extend your knowledge… making correlations between information

18/06/2013 Jot.to @ IIBA Italy Chapter Innovation Challenge 2012-2013

3. Make correlations

Thanks to tags and key-words, Jot.to will propose you

correlations between new information and any

knowdata already stored in the workspace: are there

knowdata with similar properties?

Selecting correlations proposed by Jot.to, or defining

new ones manually, you are creating a “knowspace”

starting from a “workspace”!

it is possible to create a workspace

subset (or “knowset”) dedicated to a

specific topic to aggregate several

correlated information

you are able to correlate an element with

a knowset and, at the same time, make

correlations with any other one in the

entire knowspace

4. Extend your knowledge… sharing information between knowsets and/or knowspaces

4. Share info

Until now you are able to collect and manage your

own information

The next step should be sharing information between

your colleagues, your team, your friends, your company,

… , your social/professional networks: with Jot.to you

are able to share specific knowsets or whole

knowspaces

Jot.to will extend your knowledge

proposing correlations into

perimeter you identified…

even using external channels

natively integrated

(i.e. social networks, office

automation tools, project

management tools, etc.)

.

8 CONFIDENTIAL

5.

Search info

4. Extend your knowledge… searching information into knowspaces

Jot.to could be used to collect information or to

search information related to specific topic

you’re able to quickly find any kind of data related

to it into knowspaces,

access to external searching engines (i.e. Google,

Wing, etc.), and

wrap information to create new knowdata

.
