The hard currency of any enterprise is the knowledge in the minds of its workers. Capturing that knowledge and passing it on is a crucial competitive advantage and a source of innovation. A lot of it is tacit knowledge, which in most cases is better caught than taught. Video provides a way to capture this knowledge in its purest form. Watching someone perform a task or process can be more powerful than having that person tell you how it’s done. In this research note, we identify the five key elements required for video learning in the enterprise (see Note 1):

  • Video capture
  • Video transcription and annotation, including tagging via certified experts
  • Advanced collaboration video discussion
  • Video search
  • Video sharing and playback (store or portal)
