DCT FLOW
Given the huge amount of content produced every day, the number of complex projects launched and the incredible levels of expertise available, DCT Abu Dhabi possesses unique intellectual capital. But how much of it can be accessed? How much do we know about the hidden talents producing the work? How can we learn from the experience of others?
So what are we doing about it?
The People & Performance department designed a knowledge-sharing platform called ‘DCTFLOW’. The ultimate aim of this platform is to help foster an open and trusting environment, where everyone at DCT Abu Dhabi has an equal opportunity to show their work. The platform is a space for you to SHARE, COLLABORATE and LEARN. It includes simple tools to help document, narrate, and describe what we really do and how we do it.
Using the Platform
The tools developed for DCTFLOW can grow organically to contribute to the growth of DCT Abu Dhabi and its professionals. So HAPPY SHARING!
