Abstract

Without a doubt, knowledge has become the most important resource for all companies in the world. Knowledge extended of our own observations and practice is being called experience. With the increase of knowledge and gained experience, the individual becomes more and more valuable employee in terms of business. The above mentioned knowledge can be gained only by self-improvement, which requires time and other necessary elements for the implementation of the process of cognition. Possibility of acquiring new knowledge by practice is strongly related with the working area environment. Employers may create the proper environment within their companies and provide employees with necessary tools, yet it generates high cost. However, technological development which has took place in recent years along with legislation changes being consequences of globalization, resulted in an increase of mobility of knowledge, experience and individuals who possess both. At times when global labor market is open for highly skilled employees, the employer is not always able to keep the desired, experienced employee at his company. Therefore, it is highly important from the company’s point of view to be capable to secure intellectual capital prior to its loss with an eventual loss of the employee. The paper is an initial concept of planned doctorate research, focused on feasibility of development of tools based on SOEKS (Set of Experience Knowledge Structure) and Decisional DNA that will allow the company to accumulate knowledge and protect its’ previously gained intellectual capital. Those tools will be also designed to enable delegating duties to less experienced employees by providing them with An instrument that will allow them to independently perform more complicated tasks. The tool that planned for this research is called by the Authors a Virtual Mentor (VM).
