Addressing a gap in the market and extending the reach of Knowledge Infusion's unique blend of industry knowledge and leading practices, the goal of the Center of Excellence is to help the HCM community drive business outcomes by leveraging information grounded in the real world. With insight and data from leading practitioners, technology innovators, and Global 2000 companies, the Knowledge Infusion Center of Excellence will deliver data and tools to end-users and vendors, geared toward radically changing the industry.
The three pillars that make up the Center of Excellence are:
* Content - Delivering the industries best and most actionable research and intelligence
* Collaboration - Enable peer sharing, best practices and interaction with Knowledge Infusion thought leaders
* Community - Delivered via our KnowledgeNetworks?, our value networks of interest focused on targeted industries and topics important to the HCM community
The Center of Excellence is leveraging innovative Web 2.0 technologies, offering varying levels of membership. Part of the launch includes the announcement of the Retail KnowledgeNetwork--an exclusive, invitation-only community bringing together leaders in HR from retail organizations to collaborate on issues specific to their industry. In addition to peer-to-peer networking, members benefit from the knowledge and insight of Knowledge Infusion consultants and thought leaders, focused on driving business results within retail clients. Early members in the Retail KnowledgeNetwork include Luxottica Group, parent company of the Sunglass Hut, Applebee's, and Echelon.
"Knowledge Infusion's Center of Excellence is a powerful solution with content and resources that my entire organization can leverage as we continue to build and evolve our talent strategy," says Cassie Fireman, VP of Talent at Echelon. "Being a member of the Retail KnowledgeNetwork allows us to interact with peers and thought leaders and collaborate on better managing talent to impact our business."
"Our vision for the Center of Excellence is simple--to change the way companies access information, share ideas, and ultimately affect business results through human capital," says Jason Corsello, Vice President of Center of Excellence at Knowledge Infusion. "We are excited to bring the COE to the HCM community, and drive the industry toward dramatic positive changes."
"Knowledge Infusion is pleased to deliver to the market today the first of its kind collaborative community for those looking to change the game of HR forever," says Jason Averbook, Chief Executive Officer of Knowledge Infusion.
