Map Your Knowledge Base
Knowledge is power, but do you really know what your employees know? Do you have a way to truly map your knowledge base so the right people can connect with each other at the right times? We do. Maven’s was specifically built for the purpose of mapping knowledge, motivating people to share their expertise, and rewarding them for doing so. Use our technology to unlock the untapped expertise within your organization to accelerate collaboration, drive faster innovations, and reward the unsung heroes.
Reward Collaboration
Do you feel like everyone at your company has been placed in a box with specific duties but no broader vision? As professionals we are often conditioned to focus on the work at hand and not consider the greater good of the organization. Use Maven to break down the barriers between working groups and foster greater cross-organizational knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Case Studies
Discover the Hidden Stars
Some people are just in the wrong role. Human resources professionals see this all the time – the colleague whose manager dislikes them but who you suspect is actually a valuable asset. Unfortunately, you only have anecdotal evidence of their contributions to those around them, and not enough to override the poor reviews they receive from their supervisor. Use Maven to track an individual’s TOTAL contribution to the organization, including assistance provided to others outside of their current “chain of command.” Chances are that poorly-reviewed colleague is actually a hidden star.
Stop the Brain Drain
Your employees are your greatest asset, but what happens when they leave? With an aging population and the Boomers retiring in droves, the brain drain impacting long-established companies is more severe than ever. Build your alumni network on Maven to keep those valuable people close and retain access to their expertise – even when they’re on the golf course!
