Staff use it to share
business practice,
ideas and results >>

The key that makes GOLD effective is the structure of the Learnings within.
This is neither a dump nor a trawl of corporate files and documents. Rather, carefully
designed and easy-to-use templates capture Learnings quickly and effectively,
ensuring all the key facts needed to exploit the experience are included.

Workflow tools for peer review and quality assurance

Prior to publication, Learnings
can be peer reviewed for
value, content, completeness
and clarity >>

Workflow tools make it easy for you to designate staff
as "Knowledge Leaders" within their areas. They receive
automated alerts allowing them to control and
influence what is published and how it is classified.

Targeted access to browse or search, find and select relevant learnings

Finding relevant Learnings is
quick and easy using the simple
yet powerful search tools provided >>

Use your established corporate terminology to define Learning categories
and classifications ("taxonomies" for the Knowledge Managers out there).
These could be based on strategic priorities taken directly from your
current business plan - Demand Stimulation, Total Quality Management,
Operating Expense Reduction - Whatever your priorities are. Staff use
these categories to browse and navigate the Learnings database.
A powerful search facility allows more direct retrieval of Learnings related
to or containing whatever search content the user has defined >>

Automatically stay in touch with key developments >>

Flag an "Interest" in any one or more areas to receive
automatic notification whenever anything new is
added within your area of interest.

A secure means to share access to underlying documents and files

Business process is shared right across the organisation in the
form of documents and files attached to Learnings - sample
contracts, Power Point presentations, image logos or marketing
material in any file format >>

GOLD is not just based on an originating document. Rather a
structured Learning record is created and maintained, to which
any number of documents may be attached and referenced.

Accelerated integration of new business units

GOLD allows you to disseminate knowledge
quickly down to new areas of the business to
accelerate growth and capture new markets >>

Affiliate or partner organisations can be given access to only those
categories of Learnings that you choose to share with them.

All in secure, managed environment

Secure access controls
to all this valuable
knowledge >>

Intelligent security and access controls allow you to
define the direction (up or down) that Learnings may
be viewed across the organisation, and restrict access to
particular Learnings, groups of Learnings, attachments
or individual items of sensitive information
