Gather-Decide-Act: Three Business Process Case Studies That Transform Data Collection Into Inspired Action
On the 28th-29th April 2016, I attended the Digital Workplace Conference in Melbourne. Here are my notes & thoughts about one of the sessions.
Session: Gather-Decide-Act: Three Business Process Case Studies That Transform Data Collection Into Inspired Action
Speaker: Mike Fitzmaurice - @MikeFitz
Session Takeaways:
Reasoning: Despite the projector difficulties at the start, Mike was a cool, calm & humorous speaker that gave simple examples of how to collect data across multiple devices using a single tool, Nintex Forms & Workflow.
I was personally hoping for a little more on the 'Inspired Action' part of the session (e.g. how do you convince a company to act on the data they collect). My experience has shown the 'build it & they will come' mantra is true, but inspiring the business to utilise that data & act upon it does not happen without a lot of hand holding.
My understanding is Mike would have gone into further detail had he had more time, but that's the only reason I couldn't give this session full marks!

Session: Gather-Decide-Act: Three Business Process Case Studies That Transform Data Collection Into Inspired Action
Speaker: Mike Fitzmaurice - @MikeFitz
Session Takeaways:
- Simple solutions using SharePoint lists and Nintex Forms to gather data easily
- Nintex Forms allow you to fill out forms in offline mode on a mobile device
- Offline mode works like your email outbox. It holds onto the data until there is an internet connection
- Mike's theory is that if you show a company how to collect data with a simple form, they will see the value of the solution & be inspired to act on building solutions for their other problems
- Tip: make data collection as simple as possible. Don't build complicated forms
- Nintex Workflow also has the functionality to generate contract documents using the data captured within online forms
- Nintex Workflow can use Docusign to sign said auto-generated contacts as well!
- Using Nintex Forms across multiple devices requires you to build multiple templates. Which is fine until an update to a form needs to be rolled out across all devices. Not a single form template that is responsive across all devices.
- Can't believe Mike refused to click the 'update' button on his office suite mid-session! ;)
- +1 for telling the Stone Soup story.
