In a world where technology evolves at breakneck speed, where talent flows across markets, and where innovation depends as much on people as on tools, one thing is clear: human capital is the most strategic asset for large enterprises. Behind every successful project, product launch, and strategic decision lies the expertise, know-how, and knowledge of people.
Yet this vital capital is often underused, fragmented, or lost. Retirements, internal mobility, turnover, and organizational silos all lead to a silent evaporation of knowledge. The company’s memory—this invaluable experience-built knowledge—gradually fades, risking slowed innovation and declining performance.
Today, thanks to platforms like PICC Software, organizations can finally capture, structure, and sustainably leverage their human capital—activating collective intelligence as a true strategic driver.
Human Capital: An Intangible Asset Too Often Overlooked
Human capital is often reduced to talent management or HR processes. In reality, it encompasses far more: knowledge, field expertise, tacit skills, intuition, and professional judgment. It’s an intangible asset that’s hard to measure—but critical to resilience and differentiation.
And yet, in most large organizations, this capital:
- Is not formalized
- Becomes inaccessible once an employee leaves
- Is siloed by function or geography
- Relies on slow, costly, and rarely-used documentation processes
As a result, teams waste enormous amounts of time searching for existing information, reinventing solutions, or repeating avoidable mistakes. At the scale of a global organization, this productivity loss can represent millions of dollars per year.
Before PICC: Scattered Knowledge, Hard to Transfer
Traditionally, knowledge capture relied on:
- Time-consuming exit interviews
- Final project reports that are rarely reviewed
- Document repositories unable to extract actionable insights
In this context, even the best collaboration tools failed to convert implicit knowledge into operational value. Information overload, lack of structure, and poor access made these systems ineffective.
Knowledge remained buried, invisible, and unused. Every problem felt like starting from scratch, and onboarding new hires was a constant uphill battle.
PICC Software: Unleashing the Full Potential of Human Capital
PICC Software changes the game entirely. With AI specifically designed for knowledge management, the platform automatically captures employee know-how, structures it, makes it accessible—and most importantly—activates it in real-world situations. (Learn how our AI stands out.)
A Field-Centered Approach
Unlike traditional systems that merely store files, PICC analyzes documents (emails, reports, training materials, project discussions, etc.) to automatically extract “problem encountered – solution applied” pairs. This unique approach documents what worked, in which context, and why.
Knowledge becomes a ready-to-use tool, available anytime—from a desktop or smartphone.
Preserving Expertise, Even After Departure
One of the greatest risks for businesses is losing know-how when employees leave—whether through retirement, reassignment, or resignation. Each time, years of experience vanish.
PICC offers a concrete solution: before departure, employees can easily share insights, projects, lessons learned, and solutions. The platform captures this through guided interviews, voice notes, or simple input forms.
The result: up to 70% of this knowledge is preserved, structured, and reusable by remaining teams. Company memory no longer depends on individuals—it becomes collective and lasting.
Drastically Reducing Training and Onboarding Time
For new hires, PICC provides immediate access to relevant knowledge. In just a few clicks, they can find procedures, proven solutions, and internal experts to contact. Onboarding time is reduced by up to 60%, and beginner mistakes are minimized.
The platform acts as a digital mentor, guiding employees to the right practices, documents, and contacts—without relying on lengthy traditional training programs.
Identifying Experts and Recognizing Skills
PICC Software also maps internal competencies. By analyzing contributions to the knowledge base, the platform identifies “key opinion leaders”—often invisible experts critical to problem solving.
This identification helps to:
- Network knowledge more effectively
- Build well-matched project teams quickly
- Recognize and reward talent through their contribution to collective intelligence
An employee who shares their solutions becomes a go-to expert in their field. This recognition fosters motivation, collaboration, and retention. Discover how skills management is digitized and simplified with PICC.
Productivity and Time Savings: Measurable Results
By delivering the right information at the right time, PICC helps employees save up to 20 hours per month on searching for solutions. That’s a 30% increase in productivity—without complicating processes or disrupting workflows.
Knowledge capture happens close to the action, through mobile tools and simple interfaces. It integrates naturally into workshops, project reviews, retrospectives, or even spontaneous conversations.
A Living, Multilingual Knowledge Base
PICC builds a dynamic, real-time knowledge map that connects:
- Reported problems
- Implemented solutions
- Involved experts
- Associated documents and processes
The platform supports over 50 languages through automatic translation—eliminating knowledge-sharing barriers in global organizations.
Every employee becomes an active link in the collective knowledge chain, whether in Tokyo, Paris, or São Paulo. Read more about best practices sharing across sites.
PICC-MI: Turning Field Experience into Strategic Intelligence
The PICC-MI module takes things further. It collects feedback from key business functions (marketing, production, support, R&D) to identify recurring issues, trends, and innovation opportunities.
It’s a strategic tool that enables companies to:
- Prioritize improvement efforts
- Systematize lesson sharing
- Fuel HR and business strategy with real-world insights
Humanizing Technology: PICC as a Second Collaborative Brain
More than just software, PICC acts like a personal assistant for employees. It supports frontline teams, highlights expert contributions, secures knowledge, and accelerates learning. It’s a collaboration accelerator—and a catalyst for human intelligence.
Conclusion: Make Human Capital a Strategic Engine for Action
In a fast-moving world, technology advances rapidly—but it’s human capabilities that truly make the difference. The companies that thrive will be those that preserve, enhance, and activate their human capital.
PICC Software offers a robust, intelligent, and easy-to-use framework to meet this challenge. By structuring knowledge, breaking down silos, and revealing internal expertise, the platform transforms human capital into a sustainable competitive edge.
