One Stop Shop

Hi,

Today, I'd like to write about:

What does: One Stop Shop mean?

From Wikipedia:

A one stop shop, one stop store or one stop source is a business or office where multiple services are offered; i.e., customers can get all they need in just "one stop."

and

The phrase is now used as slang to describe everything from Web sites to TV shows where people can find most of what they need, including information, in one place.

That said, if we wish to apply this concept on our daily lives or any project (for example) we're involved with or part of, it would be really helpful.


How to apply One Stop Shop Concept on ITA?
ITA now is no longer a Facebook Page, it is a huge project. ITA itself is a huge One Stop Shop :)

How?
ITA has 25 different Sub-Team with 25 different areas under one name, that is Iraqi Technological Academy.

Why?
Because having one big team/community/project with everything that people may need in one place would save

1. Time for everyone.
2. Energy.
3. Efforts. 
4. Resources.
5. Maintenance Time.

And will increase:

1. Efficiency.
2. Productivity.
3. Organization.

And perhaps more advantages that you'll notice by time.

When?

Such concept is needed when you have something really big with so many different stuff at the same time. If we want to apply that on a Supermarket for example, we come to notice that any Supermarket nowadays have so many items.

Okay, so ITA itself is a huge One Stop Shop? this is understood and we all agreed. However, how to really get the best of this concept not just with ITA main structure but with everything else we do within ITA?

Let's talk about ITA Facebook Page.

We're publishing tons of very useful and valuable information. However, we have no system whatsoever to list all these information in one place. No centralization. No One Stop Page or something that list all these information. No Database. Nothing. We all know that scrolling down on any facebook page is a HUGE PAIN in the neck. 

That said, I'm simply suggesting to apply the One Stop Shop Concept on all the important information we're sharing/publishing on facebook.

E-Learning Posts, news, tips, useful stuff, etc.

I have suggested already a simple plan to achieve that. It is called: ITA Weekly Newsletter. It is approved already. However, this is not enough. We need to apply the concept on everything else.

This is just an idea that will help all our Sub-Teams within ITA if they wish to make their lives easier and make the life of everyone else as easy as possible.

After all, we must all follow the golden rule:

Thank you for reading :)

Guess the first Sub-Team that I'm going to share this with is the Marketing Sub-Team :)

But really, everyone else can follow that. I personally always use this concept with the rest of my projects. It is a very successful and useful concept to follow.
