New Competency, Validation and Achievement Features Expand User Control and Increase Employee Speed to Competence

DENVER, August 15, 2011—Triple Creek, the leader in enterprise mentoring and structured social learning software, today announced the addition of several major new reputation management features to its Open Mentoring® platform.  Designed to foster people-to-people collaborative learning for organizations with multiple thousands of knowledge workers, Triple Creek’s Open Mentoring software helps companies to quickly close employee skill gaps, build deep enterprise-wide expertise and increase overall employee speed to competence. 

Available immediately as part of Open Mentoring® 5, the new features include:

Spotlight Competencies, which allows users to quickly focus on up to five competencies at a time and prioritize their learning needs.  From each spotlight competency, a user can quickly access their current engagements, suggested engagements, or create an engagement specific to that competency.

Competency Validation, which gives users the ability to authenticate their proficiency in relation to competencies, including years of expertise, applicable certifications and a description of overall experience. 

Achievements, a badging and rewards systems that provides users a mechanism for validating the competencies in their profiles.  Example achievements include creating an engagement with a certain competency, joining an engagement that is focused on a specific competency, or mastering a competency. 

“Open Mentoring has quickly become the foundation for successful people-to-people collaborative learning programs across many large organizations representing a diverse set of industries,” said Randy Emelo, President and CEO, Triple Creek.  “The addition of the reputation system to Open Mentoring 5 gives even more power to learners and advisors, allowing for additional informational context, more control over the learning experience and ultimately, increased speed to competence across the enterprise.”

Triple Creek will introduce additional features as part of its Reputation Management system in Q4 2011.  Organizations interested in learning more about Open Mentoring 5 can contact Triple Creek here.
