 The Borlaug Global Rust Initiative is a great example of Enterprise 2.0 technology used to support global collaboration aimed at finding and implementing a solution to a complex and urgent problem - as originally envisioned by hypertext pioneer Douglas Engelbart. How urgent? "90 percent of the world's wheat has little or no protection against Ug99 wheat rust. This plant disease could quickly spread and annihilate a crop that provides a third of the world's calories." The Borlaug Global Rust Initiative was formed to reduce the world's vulnerability to wheat rust diseases through a first-ever international collaboration in wheat research. We're happy the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative case has been nominated for Forrester's 2010 GroundSwell award. Please read the Groundswell page on The Borlaug Global Rust Initiative's Knowledge Bank - and add your own rating, comment and review for the BGRI case and others. |

Read this Wired Magazine story Red Menace: Stop the Ug99 Fungus Before Its Spores Bring Starvation on the Borlaug Global Rust Initiative's leadership in a global collaborative effort to combat a critical threat to the world's food supply. Fighting Ug99 wheat rust requires a global response bringing together a diverse community in the US, Africa, Europe and Asia, including plant biologists, plant breeders, field agents, molecular biologists, NGO's, and BGRI sponsors. We're happy and proud that that BGRI is a Traction Software customer, and that BGRI's http://www.globalrust.org site is powered by Traction TeamPage, used as a hub for both public information on Ug99 wheat rust and for global collaborative scientific research. |

KMWorld quotes Tom Woodman, enterprise applications manager at KUKA Systems on use of Traction TeamPage to track, manage and report on issues across project groups. Woodman says: “TeamPage helped us document what wasn’t working, collaborate around potential solutions and turn on a dime to fix them. Then, it helped us spread the word about those improvements to the rest of the company very quickly. As a byproduct, we are also able to meet compliance requirements, because auditors can easily review the issues and determine if there are any that would need further scrutiny from a financial reporting point of view.” » Read More |
