Spider-Man had a radioactive spider. Hulk was shot with gamma rays. And more and more Chief People Officers are discovering that Knoetic gives them superpowers.

Decision-making improves, decision velocity increases, and decision quality goes through the roof. Choices that used to take weeks and were inevitably decided by intuition get made with hard data that is pulled in seconds.

Over the last 6 months, we have been rolling out a series of sharing, permissioning and collaboration tools that are force multipliers. Our goal is to make it easy for CPOs to distribute people analytics throughout their organization. We collectively call these features Shared Insights.

More Power, Greater Demands

CPO superpowers can create a champagne problem — the more insights they are given, the hungrier decision-makers become for more data and more access!

CPOs tell us they can be overwhelmed with requests and their team can become a bottleneck to the whole process.

And then they are back at square one with gut decisions and slow data turnarounds.

We believe that it is critical to scale insights throughout the business. However, we also believe that the demand for democratization needs to be balanced with security and privacy.

And one size does not fit all — different stakeholders have different needs and should have different solutions.

Knoetic helps square this circle through Shared Insights.

Sharing Insight

As we built these tools, we focused on three key pillars:

  1. Ensuring CPOs keep control. We build options about how insights can be shared — full or restricted access to the product, by sharing a report or through a point-in-time export.
  2. Private data needs to remain private. Privacy runs in our DNA. Knoetic’s shared insights give CPOs user management granularity to ensure that sensitive information is never exposed.
  3. Keep things simple and elegant. We believe that users shouldn’t need a statistics degree or be an expert in SQL to understand your business. We make sure things work like they should and are intuitive to use.

The Shared Insights product includes:

Streamlined User Management

With just a few clicks, admins can create new accounts for employees to access reports and dashboards. Even more importantly, they can restrict access to certain data to ensure that the right people only have access to the right data. This means fine-grain control over what data each user can see.

Shared Reports

Want to share a more limited scope? Any user can create a custom report and share it directly with a decision-maker. These reports stay up to date as the data evolves over time.

Chart Exports

Export the PNG of any chart in Knoetic to share in a board deck or in an all-hands meeting.

We all know Knoetic gives Chief People Officers superpowers. We think it’s about time to bring on some sidekicks!
