What it is
WisdomShare® is a fully configurable, web-based software tool that manages organizational mentoring programs at the touch of a mouse. It includes the two most important factors for success: matching and content. Its expert matching system maximizes partnership results through high levels of compatibility.
Who benefits most
Organizations that need to launch, scale, centralize or globalize their mentoring initiative for 50 to 10,000 pairs to ensure success. Partners are paired within the organization, which may be a corporation, a professional association, a government agency or a university alumni group.
Many organizations lack the necessary resources and/or understanding to properly launch and manage a mentoring program. Mentor Resources offers strategic planning, software tools, coaching for groups of mentors and other resources to insure success of the mentoring program.
Without these resources, mentoring programs may result in participants who are de-motivated rather than energized. WisdomShare® incorporates best practices in an easy-to-use electronic format to enhance the overall program's success.
How it works
You configure your WisdomShare® site to your organization's look and feel. With our guidance, you personalize your match categories, content and communication templates and invite mentors to register.
Mentees self-select their mentor by using our at-a-glance compatibility ranking system. Content is "pushed" to participant email boxes on a periodic basis. Administrative tools support your effort.
Based on over 20 years of experience managing mentoring programs, WisdomShare® includes all the tools you need to launch a mentoring program that meets your organization's strategic goals.
Matches
Partners are matched on 14 dimensions to ensure compatibility. Registration takes ten minutes for mentors and 15 for mentees. In addition, mentees spend time in advance to set their mentoring goals.
