Maximize Efficiency, Communication, Output using a Centralized Info Hub

I use Airtable to manage my independent research group as well as a campus-wide Center that I direct. In my research lab, implementing Airtable has transformed how we manage projects, budgets, daily tasks, expectations, and nearly all aspects of project development and communication.

My personal use Airtable to track their brainstorming - from outlining big-picture ideas down to itemizing discrete tasks and it allows us to streamline the process of prioritization and goal-setting.

In the Center, we use Airtable for all of the same project management as we do for the smaller lab, but also integrate all of the client and business information for tracking all meetings, projects, return-on-investment, invoicing, and contact information. This allows us to efficiently manage a large operation with minimal staff, and also makes for quick work when it is time to share our activities with institutional oversight. We love the copy/paste and customization possibilities.

In short, everything that was so painful and error-prone in Excel has now been implemented into a seamless, color-coded, centralized "information depot" that all staff can access in "real time" - and the "grouping" and table-linking features are two of the most valued aspects for our needs. I recommend Airtable to all of my colleagues!
