Executive Summary

Recent advances in Information Systems and Organisational Management are enabling a new form of www-based organisation that delivers major advantages to its participants and its customers; the Virtual Organisation (VO). The VO approach is a modern way for distributed individuals, organisations and communities to collaborate in their own best interests by either contracting directly to each other or by working through a single effective www-based organisation. 
 

Active collaboration through a VO extends the possibilities for organising and delivering products and services to customers over time, geography and traditional organisational boundaries. The VO approach makes it possible for a network of trusted colleagues to actively collaborate to the benefit of their customers and themselves. This approach extends the range of products and services that an independent organisation can provide to meet the increasingly diverse and sophisticated expectations of their customers. As well as improving its participant's work opportunities, a successful collaborative VO can also enhance the life work balance of those participants.

A collaborative VO is a great idea, but how do you actually make it work in the real world? One of the major challenges associated with making a success of the VO approach is in implementing VO structures, practices and processes effectively so they really work. 

TimeLimited Limited (TLL) is a leader in this field of organisational management. We operate as a VO ourselves and are in the business of empowering active collaboration. Our VO Tools include a proven VO Business Model and a Central Billing System. Our Services cover consulting and the implementation of our tools. We provide our Tools and Services to individuals and organisations who are interested in enjoying the benefits of the VO approach.  If this is you then congratulations, you are in exactly the right place. We welcome you to our website and invite you to review, think through and then act upon the information we present here. 

We invite you to learn more about the collaborative VO approach from this complimentary Welcome to Your VO  presentation (a 780kb PowerPoint .pdf) and share it with your trusted colleagues who have a common interest. We look forward to working with you on your own Active Collaboration once you have thought this through and would like our support to Get Serious.
