Expert, objective research
Research the forces at work in those communities ... from the perspective of an impartial third party with
a deep understanding of economics, social dynamics, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
Productive, facilitated forums
Organize and support face-to-face and online forums for eliciting, capturing, and resolving the diverse
and often divergent perspectives of such communities.
Knowledge capture and integration
Represent the collective, evolving expertise and opinion of the community in explicit, persistent,
and actionable forms using semantic technologies, enabling the community to continuously refresh and adapt its information supply
chain.
Predictive services
Provide revolutionary methods and tools so the community can identify and evaluate new opportunities, markets,
and partners, and therefore make better choices measured by its KPI outcomes.
