Give profiles useful context.

A name and department tell only part of the story. Skills, current projects and interests can help a colleague understand when and why to reach out. Let people choose what they want to share.

Make discovery simple.

People may know the skill they need without knowing the person who has it. Search and clear team information help colleagues move beyond their immediate circle and find useful connections.

A profile is an invitation to connect, not just a record.

Turn discovery into a small action.

Finding a person should make the next step easier. A thoughtful Wisp, an introduction or a shared project gives discovery a human purpose. Keep the action simple and respectful of the person’s context.
