Discover Hidden Expertise
How do you get the most out of what you have? Every day your colleagues are making poorly informed decisions – or paying to source expertise from outside your company – when what they need is actually within your walls. You’ve implemented great systems for document management, ediscovery, enterprise search, and peer collaboration, but none of these are helping you discover expertise on demand. Companies use Maven to discover the hidden expertise they already possess and connect people with each other for direct knowledge exchange.
Incentivize Knowledge Sharing
Your employees are your most valuable resource, but how do you harness their collective expertise and encourage them to share their knowledge with each other? Use Maven to recognize and reward those who help their colleagues, overcoming the barrier to high participation rates encountered by other enterprise-wide applications.
Reduce Knowledge Attrition
Every day people leave your organization. They find new jobs, retire, or are asked to depart, but regardless of the reasons many of them still possess knowledge that is relevant to your company – knowledge that they are probably willing to continue sharing with you. Just because they are gone does not mean they aren’t willing to help! With your Maven Knowledge Community you can fight the brain drain and maintain a connection with your company’s alumni base, so when you need their help it is right there at your fingertips.
