For us, it is very important to evaluate the relationship between the employer and the employee on a regular basis. We also like the option to create small learning quizzes for our participants."

Qualli.life Strength & Weakness

WHAT IS Qualli.life Strengh & Weakness?

Within the CRM programme Quallilife there is the option to do a strengths/weaknesses analysis. It serves as a means for quantifiable assessment of a participant’s basic competencies. The system is customizable to the needs of the educational institution and their projects and should therefore be configured before first use. It can be helpful in the context of career orientation and profiling and is a relatively simple multiple choice system.

EXAMPLES

The analysis of strengths and weaknesses can be a part of profiling and can be carried out for example at the beginning of a project with participants. It can be used to identify and visualise basic competences, competences (areas) and indicators. This can be done again at a later stage, for example to check learning progress in qualification measures.

"We use the strengths and weaknesses analysis in our projects. These are adapted in each case. This makes the need for support visible. The findings from the strengths and weaknesses analysis are also very helpful for us when planning and searching for suitable internships."

The answers can be automatically transferred into reports. Professionals can ascertain the social starting position of the clients and their previous history.

"We find working together on a whiteboard extremely productive. The graphical representation and the timeline help us to keep an overview. We also like the integration of links, videos and other media. However, we are currently using an alternative because we are not satisfied with Padlet's data protection."

Todoist

WHAT IS todoist?

Todoist is a collaborative task-and project management tool to organise and visualise to-do lists. It saves time by a simple assignment of tasks, especially when it involves multiple clients, colleagues and/or teams.

EXAMPLES

As we simultaneously work across many different (sub-)teams, Todoist cuts out a lot of verbal communication about the simple assignment of tasks, status reports etc. When used by a large number of staff members, it standardises how things are organised and visually highlights what still needs to be completed.
Colleagues can also decide to include their clients into their Todoist-projects, to ensure transparency.

"In addition to other tools such as Meistertask, Microsoft To-Do etc., ToDoist has many more options to prioritise, schedule and assign tasks, sub-tasks and sub-sub-tasks… That makes it ideal for even specific collaborative management, not only "rough project management". You can also choose to switch between Kanban- and List-structure for every project."
