Abstract
It is widely accepted that the most valuable asset an organization has, is its people.
People create the mission, define the strategy and execute the tactics.
Business agility, in essence, is the measure of the flow of value that its people create.
People agility is the potential for organizations to utilize the diverse skills and talents of
the human beings in its workforce to achieve success.
However, people agility fails when people can’t find and connect with the right people at
the right time. Whether it's completing daily tasks, complex projects, or designing and
executing on grand organizational initiatives.
WhoZoo, through the use of novel machine-learning and NLP techniques, has
developed a self-learning map to the people in dynamic organizations.

Discovering People Agility
▪ Start with Business Agility
“The distinct qualities that allow organizations to respond
rapidly to changes in the internal and external environment
without losing momentum or vision.”
- HRZone.com

▪ Then focus on the individual
The unique attributes that People possess that allow
them to respond rapidly to business changes without
losing productivity.

▪ Then focus on the individual
– Unique Attributes: RSC
▪ Responsibilities (What people do)
▪ Strengths (What people know)
▪ Collaborations (Who people really work with)

The Problem

The Problem
People Agility, and therefore Business Agility are
diminished when you can’t connect with the right people,
at the right time.

The Challenge

The Challenge – How Orgs Do It Today
▪ The modern org chart is over 150 years old. (1854)
▪ Skills Databases are dusty and unused.
– Skills can change with each project.
– People can often over, or under-represent themselves.
▪ Other professional networking sites require manual skills
assessment, and endorsements may not be relevant or
trust worthy.

The Challenge
▪ Organizations are dynamic and constantly changing.
▪ You disrupt people looking for answers, and vice versa.

The Challenge – Daily Dynamics

The Challenge – Disruptions

The Challenge – Disruptions
People waste ~20% of
their time looking
for information
- McKinsey
