ISOPH AND THE PETER F. DRUCKER FOUNDATION CREATE "MEETING THE COLLABORATION CHALLENGE" ONLINE

Online Version of Popular Workshop Investigates Nonprofit and For-profit Collaboration

Chapel Hill, NC (December 16, 2002) - Isoph and the Peter F. Drucker Foundation announced today that they partnered to create an online workshop titled "Meeting the Collaboration Challenge." This workshop is currently a successful classroom-based course offered by the Drucker Foundation. Based on Harvard professor James Austin’s book The Collaboration Challenge, the workshop develops and improves the way nonprofit and for-profit organizations work together.

"The online version of this popular program will allow us to reach more people who are looking to improve and expand the nonprofit/for-profit relationship," said Rob Johnston, Drucker Foundation president and CEO.

The online workshop, "Meeting the Collaboration Challenge," will be presented using the synchronous collaboration features and discussion board functionality of Isoph Blue, Isoph’s integrated, Web-based environment. The Drucker Foundation’s presenters will show PowerPoint slides, share Web pages, and lead exercises entirely over the Web to groups of distributed learners. Voice communication and instruction will take place via conference call. Isoph and the Drucker Foundation have collaborated on the Web adaptation of the existing classroom content.

"In addition to partnering with the Drucker Foundation to create an online version of the workshop content, Isoph will provide the learning management and online collaboration tools that support and deliver the workshop," said Jeff Cobb, CEO of Isoph.

The first online "Meeting the Collaboration Challenge" workshop will be available from the Peter F. Drucker Foundation over the course of two days, January 23 and 28, 2003.
