Helping people get to the next level
Our initial focus is on knowledge sharing. Work can be frustrating when the lack of know-how blocks us from being successful. Sharing knowledge within an organization fosters learning. In turn, this constant improvement is rewarding and inspiring.
An easy way to share knowledge is for individuals to present their insights to their teams. These informal learning events are the quickest to get going for most organizations. This is our starting point.
PlusPlus is an app to help employees discover all the company learning events in one place.
