Turn process maps into online wizards: gStepOne

If you have a set of procedures that you would like to take someone through, online, then this application by gStepone http://www.gStepOne.com helps you do this. You are taken through the steps of linking any online information, like documents, videos, photos, form etc in a way that takes someone step by step through the process. For example, this could be for ordering a product, doing an expense claim, booking a meeting.

I'm always on the lookout for innovative ways to change how we do business and especially ways that combine know-what with know-how. Imagine if clinical guidelines could be set up using a system like this, where individual patients could have their treatment customised. Of course this would need to be set up on proprietary systems rather than on the Internet. gStepOne - if you're listening there is a market for this.

In the meantime, for non-proprietary procedures and processes this tool can be very useful.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your review! You are right about companies sometimes preferring a proprietary version of the product for internal use. In fact there are two versions for this purpose:

. gStepOne Pro is a private subscription version that is hosted by gStepOne.com, and

. WorkScript, which is available for outright purchase, that companies host internally, running on their own servers.

Of course there is also the option for organisations (businesses, councils, etc) to convert their external service procedures into wizards, to streamline the interactions, eg between clients, ratepayers or suppliers and operational staff.

By the way, we are currently adding some clinical guidelines to our gStepOne wizards samples, to be released shortly. I will let you know when they are available.

Thanks again.
