Disciplinary Challenge

Engineers participate in a wide spectrum of industries, where they use their analytical skills to research challenges,  test ideas, develop new solutions, produce prototypes, and maintain complex systems.  There are a wide variety of types of engineers, but they all share one thing in common:  their work forms a link between scientific discoveries and practical application to societal and organizational needs and quality of life.   At the cornerstone of any successful engineer and his/her organization is a clear plan, ability to collaborate and communicate their vision, a shared understanding of the path forward, and the ability to implement their strategy through sound management techniques.

Organizational Planning

The Odysseus™ | KMS gives engineers an online tool dedicated to the development and maintenance of plans and reporting requirements.  Odysseus™|KMS offers engineers the unique feature of providing standardization and flexibility in a collaborative environment.  This union greatly increases your organization's ability to manage and coordinate engineering activities.  

Community Outreach

The Odysseus™|CBT plug-in provides organizations with an integrated learning management system that allows engineers  to more effectively engage partners and residents by delivering and measuring the understanding of important engineering issues.  Odysseus™|CBT provides a platform to deliver and manage customized computer-based training, track course assessments, award certificates upon course completion, and in-depth reporting. 

Resource Management

In today’s environment of fiscal efficiency, limited availability of resources, and the necessity to balance competing demands, it is imperative that the engagement of assigned work groups and key stakeholders is efficient and effective. The stakeholder management tool within the Odysseus™|KMS can be easily modified to assist in facilitating a collaborative environment to share on-going committee collaboration, offer an archival repository of planning meeting minutes and information, and ensure the active communication with partners and key stakeholders throughout the life-cycle of the planning process.
