What is Active Agenda?

Active Agenda^® is a community developed software application for operational risk management (OpRisk) . Active Agenda consists of more than eighty (80) integrated modules which help companies to manage and reduce risk and related costs. Active Agenda is an open source software development project.

Active Agenda consists of an OpRisk domain application AND a rapid application builder platform we call spec2app. Active Agenda was created to reduce workplace risk while empowering other domain professionals and niche developers to address their unique application needs.

The spec2app process utilizes a PHP generator to convert specifications written in XML to a functioning browser application atop a MySQL database. The application is highly modular and enables the customization and maintenance of the application using single XML module definitions to generate the database, search, screen layouts, charts, and support.

July '08 "Module of the Month"

"Let their paychecks be their incentive!"

This phrase is commonly heard from plant managers having lost all faith and patience with incentive programs. The July 2008 column shares a past experience with one of these frustrated plant managers. The column reflects on some of the common reasons for failed programs and discusses a "real world" encounter where an incentive program was transformed from a program motivating resentment to a program motivating performance.

Check out this month's column and find out how Active Agenda can help organizations use incentive programs to improve workplace performance and reinforce program initiatives. You can view or print a digital copy by looking for the "Active Agenda" column in the Digital Issue table of contents. If you've missed prior columns, you can find them here too.
