Kintone Says the Productivity Tools Popular in Silicon Valley Are a Drag on Teamwork
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kintone, the teamwork platform with a visual application builder that empowers organizations and individuals to manage their data and workflows for better collaboration, is holding Kintone Connect, a one-day event that convenes organizational leaders to discuss the positive impact that transformative technology and deep-rooted teamwork can have on organizations and society.
"By sharing what we've learned over two decades and tapping into the illuminating experiences of Postmates, TechSoup and Twitter, we hope to inspire organizations to build a collaborative company culture on a foundation of new tools and methods that supports their core mission," said Dave Landa, CEO of Kintone. "This marks our third annual Kintone Connect conference and the final one in our series this year. It's been incredibly gratifying to see how hundreds of attendees have applied the Kintone approach to drive transformational change within their organizations."
Kintone Connect comes to San Francisco on December 12, 2019, the culmination of a four-city roadshow that has included stops at Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago. Kintone Connect takes place at the headquarters of TechSoup at 435 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.
Attendees at Kintone Connect will focus on three key themes that are especially relevant to fast-growth organizations in the Bay Area:
1. Bridging the tech talent gap
It's been said that all companies will be software companies, however many organizations have neither the in-house talent nor the budget to develop the software they need to support and power their growth. Attendees will learn how visual programming approaches can empower line of business (LOB) teams to build the custom productivity software solutions they need though still with IT oversight.
2. Connecting data silos
Employees interact with more data each year, but they're either still using old spreadsheets or new disconnected point solution software that is insecure and unproductive. How can we connect, centralize and secure this data so that the right team members can easily access the data they need when and where they need it?
3. Unifying team communication and business data.
75 percent of corporate knowledge is tangled up in emails and attachments, which means workers waste time toggling between their communication systems and their business systems just to get the data they need to do their work. At Kintone Connect, attendees will learn how to bring business and communication systems together to collaborate in the context of their business data.
Why attend Kintone Connect?
Connect and network with like-minded changemakers who want to have a positive impact on their teams, organizations, and society through better technology and teamwork. Attendees at Kintone Connect will learn about the methods and tools that make organizations more productive, more transparent, and brimming with teamwork.
"Our Transformation Triangle approach to policies, culture and tools is needed to foster better teamwork," added Landa. "Kintone practices what we preach--we applied the core concepts that will be presented at Kintone Connect and saw employee turnover rate plummet from 30 percent to persistently under five percent, while our growth accelerated. It works!"
