Common Business Frustrations
86% of professionals attribute work failures to lack
of collaboration and poor communication
Information workers waste an inordinate amount
of time orchestrating work rather than doing work. We spend
our time looking for information and people, and then
connecting and coordinating them to ensure that good decisions
are made.
It is all terribly inefficient.
Frog Design
“Knowledge Workers need an Industrial Revolution”
Managing Day-to-Day Tasks Wastes Time
Once they have inventoried,
prioritized and decided what
to do next, they must click
around again to take the next
action.
Nothing is prioritized,
so they have to determine
prioritization themselves.
Users must click around too
many places to stay on top of
calls, voicemails, chats and
meetings.
