1. Shaping the future of collaboration

2. What if you could have a social collaboration platform allowing your co-workers
to easily take advantage of the power of crowdsourcing within your company?
Co-workers looking
for help…
Co-workers who can
offer help…

3. Traditional barriers to collaboration
SkillDeal makes it happen
Mapping of employee’s skills is not always available
Who need skills and for what?
Difficult to evaluate the skills of employees
Difficult to deal with intra-organisation charges
Internal knowledge is not always documented (content or people)
I don’t know who would have some time for me now
I don’t know who knows what
I don’t dare to ask
I don’t want to waste my time
I am too shy to ask…
I have nothing to give in return
I don’t know my other colleagues enough (silos)
What would I get to help someone else?
I don’t want to become the new help desk of the company
I have lost the advantage of my expertise from my previous job
It does not benefit the objectives of my manager
I don’t know my other colleagues enough (silos)
I don’t know who needs my help
Organisation
trying to
promote mutual
aid, but…
People who need
help, but…
People who can
offer help, but…

13. It happens on SkillDeal
Training each other…
Thomas published a request for an hour training (in Design Thinking)
during lunch time. His colleague Diego accepted the deal…
A few hours later, 4 additional people asked to participate.
With one deal, 5 employees have been trained at a very low cost…
Helping each other…
Catherine (54 years — Brussels — French) was desperate with a
complicated Excel sheet to realize. Her Excel skills were not
sufficient to do the job. Instead of spending a day trying to figure out
by herself, she published a deal on SkillDeal.
After a few minutes, Geert (26 years — Antwerp — Dutch) accepted
the request.
In 45 minutes, he delivered a perfect excel sheet (with all the
required functions and formulas Catherine needed).

via SkillDeal drives work completion
quickly, efficiently and effectively

one hour of external training or
consultancy during the year, the
company saves between 59.000 and
109.000 EUR each year
Hypothesis for calculation
✓ Cost external trainer between
100 and 125 EUR/H, a consultant
between 100 and 150 EUR/H
✓ Average employee cost at 41
EUR/H*
Improve efficiency
On average, an expert spends 1
minute of his time where a requestor
would need 7,7 minutes
In an organisation of 1.000
employees, if everyone
exchanges 1 hour during a year, the
company wins 7.700 hours of
efficiency

17. Users like it
“Simple, nice design, and effective. It is very easy to
document your own talent profile. As soon as we are
active, it is very simple, as well: we create the request in
a jiffy and experts are notified simultaneously. When
someone needs your skills, your are notified. We do not
usually know the skills of the other employees. With
SkillDeal, you do not need complicated and time
consuming introductions. People define their needs and
only people willing to help will reply, so the
collaboration process is simplified. Without hesitation
or shyness, you can ask for help from people you don’t
know. In short, everything is simple, fast, and efficient.”
User adoption is high
Experts like it
“I am always ready to help my colleagues when I
know I can bring them something valuable.
Furthermore, from my standpoint, an organization
that works well is first a place where everyone helps
each other with their own skillset. I love using
SkillDeal because the solution is an amplification of
this mindset. I can help colleagues with whom I had
no contact before but need someone with my skills.
Ultimately, SkillDeal gives me more visibility as an
expert within the company.”
