Brain Dump – harnessing all your know-how for greater effectiveness
In most organisations knowledge-work practices and outputs are invisible to most people. Brain Dump has been designed for the smart capture of information and know-how as well as the simple capture of the practices and output of knowledge workers.
Information technologies have focussed on formal, structured, planned, transaction based work. Brain Dump uses web technologies to unleash the informal, less structured, more spontaneous, knowledge based work. We capture information and make it easier to improve both the access to and the quality of, information.
Knowledge is created when information freely flows. Brain Dump uses RSS, notification, synchronisation, email, and federation to enable the opt-in flow of information to collaborating participants.
Information is a dynamic resource. It is constantly changing. If it does not flow it is not refreshed and will need flushing. Brain Dump exposes information to the scrutiny of others where it is modified, updated, corrected, and reused; capturing the experience of others to improve the quality, relevance, use, and growth of knowledge.
Brain Dump is adaptive by nature and design. It is an emergent, freeform, social application for business users. When using Brain Dump to capture knowledge, its discoverability is immediate, and the structure and organisation of that knowledge emerges naturally.
Unlike other prescribed collaborative applications, Brain Dump adapts to the environment rather than requiring the environment to adapt to it. Brain Dump addresses the collaboration problem by increasing transparency, giving permission to employees, and reducing duplication of effort.
Brain Dump integrates user tasks, business processes, and social awareness to improve the quality of results. It creates lightweight infrastructures, and opens enterprise data for reuse.
MindShare – harnessing customer and partner know-how for real value
MindShare is a social networking platform designed to work outside the corporate boundary. It’s focus is communication and collaboration is its purpose. Mindshare is designed to be easy for customers to contribute their ideas and know-how. That increases the value of your products and services.
MindShare enables the easy discovery and reuse of the information that is captured. But that is only half the story: while information is power. Communication is using that power. Mindshare harnesses simple every day tools like RSS and common email to push information. Users can opt-in to only the very specific information feeds that inspire them.
Like Brain Dump, MindShare is designed around “flows and feeds”. That is the secret. While the competition focus on storing and bottling up information; we focus on sharing to unleash your full potential. Participation is made easy!
