Vlerick Business school

Info:
Vlerick Business School is a top-tier, triple-accredited (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB) international business school based in Belgium. 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.

  • "What I love most is the flexibility. I can go at my own pace, revisit lessons, and keep learning whenever it works for me."
