ABSTRACT:
A communications tool that combines a software application and various communication systems that parallel natural styles of knowledge sharing and problem solving. It merges with normal patterns of relationship to create a seamless and transparent extension of community. By using computer, Internet, telephone, e-mail, and other communications technologies, the present invention brings these communities of practice to a new level of immediacy and relevance—one not encumbered by time or place. The invention is issue-centered versus document-centered, incorporates a leader-controlled structure, which is distributive and transparent, and enables stratification of items to allow multiple and simultaneous uses of the invention (e.g. dynamic FAQ, electronic whiteboard, expert center, committee review tool, etc.). Leaders control through inherited parameters. The present invention more effectively captures and leverages “tacit” knowledge (that which exists in the minds of participants and has not been written down), by connecting communities and adapting to their forms of interrelationships.
