Smart Matchingwith decision tree
Chat-based intelligentvirtual assistant
How did it started ?
What is coordination?
Coordination = Cooperative effort resulting in an effective relationship
MVP 1 : List of contacts
The Contact InventoryGeneral feedback: Not user friendlyFirst Hypothesis:
To coordinate, people need to be aware of other stakeholders on the Syrian Refugee CrisisForeign Service Officers: no link showing relations
Observation and Feedback from Private Sector:Some isolated clusters!
This was an MVP but it made us understand that there is not coordination between some clusters
