Two-sided platform

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
