Vlerick Business school
Info:

It is renowned for its entrepreneurial spirit and a high-caliber Alumni network that spans global industries, from tech founders to C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies.
The Problem: The "Dark Data" of Expertise
Vlerick sits on an immense wealth of knowledge. However, this expertise was historically "dark data":
Unmapped: While the school knew who their alumni were, they didn't have granular data on their specific, real-time expertise.
Inaccessible: Tapping into the network required manual outreach, personal connections, or broad LinkedIn searches.
Inefficient: It was nearly impossible to quickly find the right expert to help solve a specific internal innovation challenge or provide specialized mentorship.
The Solution: A Centralized Innovation Marketplace
Forcit provided Vlerick with a dedicated platform to manage and mobilize their human capital.
Centralized Profiles: All Alumni expertise is consolidated into a single, searchable environment.
AI-Powered Matching: Instead of manual scrolling, our AI parses complex challenges and automatically identifies the best-fit Alumni profiles based on their specific skills and experience.
End-to-End Management: The platform handles the entire workflow—from posting the challenge and managing internal budgets to final expert selection.
