Exploring the Association between Current-State and Future-State Technology-Mediated Workflow
Advances in technology, coupled with continuous process
improvement, have provided opportunities for expanded
information exchange among key participants in the graphic
communications value chain. The promise of more effective
collaboration among all parties using enhanced workflow solutions is often compromised due to a variety of barriers that minimize the value of an integrated workflow. Understanding the association
between the current-state workflow and future-state technology-mediated
workflow can provide valuable insights into the barriers
that impact effective collaboration and the benefits that result from
improved graphic communications workflow. This paper will
explore a generalizable method to qualify and to quantify the
collaboration space between creators and producers in the graphic communications workflow.
