What we do

Internet Time Alliance helps businesses work smarter.

We make things happen better and faster by strengthening the bond between workers and their firm’s strategic direction.

Throughout most of history, people became proficient at their jobs in the course of work. Then came the industrial age, whose practices still dominate our thinking. Factory managers treated workers as cogs in a machine. Fred Taylor told workers they were not paid to think.

Now we do pay workers to think. Social capital, ideas, and innovation have replaced mindless rote work as the source of value.

Leading-edge companies are humanizing the development of their people. Their workers are increasingly engaged in learning by doing, apprenticeship, and frequent conversation. Courses are dead. (Who has the time?)

Our customers are replacing “training” with true learning. They build on the power of networks. The ideal structure is fluid, the product of dynamic flows of power and authority. Throughput is based on knowledge, trust, credibility and a focus on results.

The world has grown complex, and people need to work smarter to prosper. Augmenting human intelligence draws upon interface design, neuroscience, organizational development, social networking, experiential learning, cognitive science, collaborative software, and scenario planning. We help companies bring these disciplines together to optimize performance.

Many corporate advisers know business; many know the web; and some understand how organizations become smarter. At Internet Time Alliance, we understand all three.
