Intellectual Capital Analysis
You live in the world of data now; data allows us to make realistic decisions about the future. Yet it is doubtful you have an Intellectual Capital department or division that can claim you have intellectual capacity to do the future work of utilizing AI/ML or AR so unless you have tied financial projections to intellectual capacity, you are not ready. I help clients create dynamic intellectual capital financial projections that take real data and map out realistic outcomes.
Smart people know better than to take steps based on gut feelings alone. You think your organization is prepared for the future. In today’s world it is critical to link Intellectual capital with Financial projections as a necessity for any company. As a leader of any organization you need to know how your finances will look the next year when Artificial Intelligence, Bots, Communicative Augmented Reality sweep into your markets.
I break down expertise across 4 signals with two levers. Experts show four signals, curiosity, sharing, graciousness, and nimbleness. As we become experts in domains these signals morph from a measure of fluidity to crystallization. These are very different than domain specific measures of knowledge attainment. Most mature domains of knowledge expertise from computer science to medical science have certifiable expertise knowledge measures. And while these are critical and part of my analysis, they do not indicate yet how well you harness the intellectual capital of the organization, therefore these signals and measures must be monitored and assessed.

I can help you transform your learning and development into a revenue-producing asset that lets you leverage L&D as much or as little as you want.
Intellectual planning & strategy
My clients are often surprised by the possibilities I present to them; by thinking outside the box I present exciting new ventures:
- Curious challenges — design rewards for the inquisitive
- Share quality — build platforms that define excellence
- Gracious edges — deliver to all stakeholders great & small
- Nimble skills — aim for high performance flexible work
- Catch crystallization — frozen patterns may be sacrificing quality
- Automate fluidity — rotate, switch, up skill workforce regularly
Research beyond the business as usual plan
There are experts in your organization right now. And there is an army of what-to-be experts sitting right next to you or your CEO. The challenge is how are you identifying that expertise? Is it on levels of higher order thinking, sharing, nimbleness or inquisitiveness? Or is it based on just bottom-line metrics? I ensure intellectual capital does not rot in silos.
Not all expertise is valued. Not all expertise is identified. And not all expertise is being utilized. I look at the whole gamut of expertise. Declarative knowledge can have both breadth and depth, but to extract value in fast moving markets, it must also have fluidity balanced with crystallization. I aid in that mix of valuation to harness its potential output.
Once created, a database of potential qualified leaders to spearhead your service or product or team can be daunting to leverage when you’re running your business. However, this needs to be considered as a follow up on your Intellectual Capital Analysis so you can hit the ground running.
Then I combine the declarative knowledge performance with the four signals of expertise, we can begin building the systems and processes to grow and expand your intellectual capital. I help collaborate and design systems that identify and share knowledge.
Once we identify prospects, analyze, & construct, we must harvest your intellectual capital. Just offering a bonus or prize is weak gamification exemplified. If they are your experts, you must use what they have otherwise you will perish and die.
All stakeholders need to know that expertise is not just a blue ribbon or bonus, they must understand and see that expertise is a path to leadership and collaboration. It can never have a period, stop and an end game. It must be an integral part of a learning organization.
Intellectual Capital Planning
Intellectual Capital projections are a necessity for any company. As the leader of the company you need to know how your expertise will look the next year. This also has the benefit of alerting you to any red flags you may be unaware of:
- Domain specific – Article and News research
- Market Intelligence – Economic and Industry Research
- Internal Signals – Company and Division evaluation
- Personal Space – Team and Individual assessments
- Comparison – market readiness analysis report “slices”
