Last month I wrote about communication and its importance in basically every aspect of life. It’s integral to successful project management and, used effectively, makes sure your stakeholders know what’s going on, and helps reduce public backlash. But what about engagement? Is there a difference between communication and engagement? In the stakeholder engagement world, the […]
I’m a huge advocate for communication in any aspect of life. Even more so, for effective communication. I haven’t come across a lot of problems, be they relationship or work issues, that can’t be helped with better interaction and dialogue between the parties involved. So, when it comes to stakeholder engagement, I’m going to highly […]
You see it every day as soon as you log in. You might not even register it anymore before you dive into the search tab to begin your day’s work. But what is even on the dashboard? You may be aware that it’s full of snapshots and quick links, but is there anything there you […]
We are currently only a week away from our Accreditation being available! We’ve had an overwhelming number of enquiries and enthusiastic users, and we’re loving that feedback, please keep it coming! We’ve also had quite a few questions, which is understandable, so here are the most common questions we’ve gotten, and their answers: What are […]

CM’s new Entity ID search If you’ve logged into Consultation Manager recently, you may have noticed an extra column with numbers pop up in your Search grid, as well as in some other areas around the system.

Last month we looked at our clone function as a time saving option, but this month we’re going to take a walk through our Microsoft […]
Cloning Entities Manual data entry isn’t the most glamourous of tasks and is often met with groans, eyerolling, and sometimes resistance. On average how much time to you think you, or your team, spend doing necessary manual data entry? How much of that is the same or very similar to other data you’ve entered into […]
Duplicate Entries Last month we had a look at how to merge any duplicate entries of Stakeholders and Properties in the system. But unless you’ve found one while entering data, how do you know what duplicate entries are in the system? There are a couple of options available to find any duplicate entries, all of […]
We actually have two ISO accreditations – 27001:2013 for Information Systems Management, and 9001:2015 for Quality Management. Recently, I had the invaluable opportunity to attend a 4-day training course to learn about ISO accreditations and their importance to an organisation. Not only did the training teach me to understand existing accreditations, but it also helped me critically evaluate our existing management system […]
