Abstract

A content delivery system is provided for delivering content relevant to a profile. The system comprises a server (106) arranged to store a plurality of data elements (114) having a plurality of respective profiles associated therewith. The server (106) is further arranged to mine the plurality of data elements relative to another data element having another profile associated therewith. The server (106) is consequently able to identify at least one of the plurality of data elements having as great a relevance as possible to the another profile. The plurality of respective profiles constitute respective meta-data, and the another data element and at least one of the plurality of data elements comprise data relating to a profiling model. The server (106) is capable of delivering the identified at least one of the plurality of data element to a recipient terminal (102).

Claims

1. A content delivery system for delivering content relevant to a profile, the system comprising:

a server arranged to store a plurality of data elements having a plurality of respective profiles associated therewith, and to mine the plurality of data elements relative to another data element having another profile associated therewith in order to identify at least one of the plurality of data elements having as great a relevance as possible to the another profile;

wherein

the plurality of respective profiles constitute respective meta-data; and

the another data element and at least one of the plurality of data elements comprise data relating to a profiling model, the server being capable of delivering the identified at least one of the plurality of data element to a recipient terminal.

3. The system according to claim 1, where in the server is arranged to communicate the identified at least one of the plurality of data elements to a recipient terminal so that the retrieved data element is presented graphically in accordance with the profiling model.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profiling model is an evolutionary, psychological or cultural development of consciousness model for an individual, organisation, group or community.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profiling model may be a model that characterises an individual, an organisation, a group or a community into a number of discrete categories, transition between the number of categories lacking a defined or predictable evolutionary sequence.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profiling model may be a model relating to a repeatable lifecycle.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein a data element is a resource comprising one or more of:

a simple number, a performance measure, a document, a complex data structure, an organisation “

strategy map”

, a strategy, an objective, Key Performance Indicator (KPI), a scorecard, a Hierarchy of Intent, an expertise, a learning, a recommendation, a risk, an issue, a case study, an action, a corrective action, a discussion, a web blog, a web link, a wiki, a reference, a legal entity, a department, a team, a reference to a standard, a tool, a publication and/or a description of a method or a processes.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein a data element corresponds to one or more of:

a person, a customer, an organisation, an organisational system or a particular issue confronting a person, a customer, an organisation or organisational system.

12. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profile is obtained in response to an assessment, the assessment being performed using a computer program based upon results of a survey.

14. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profiling model is arranged to model an aspect of a state of an entity or data element and/or progression of the state of the entity or data element.

16. The system according to claim 1, wherein the profiling model comprises a plurality of categories, the profiling model comprising at least nine elements.

18. The system according to claim 16, wherein the at least nine elements are arranged as a matrix, at least three columns of the matrix being attributed to or entitled “

leadership”

, “

transformation”

, and “

performance”

, respectively, or “

be”

, “

do” and

“

have”

, respectively.

19. A system according to claim 16, wherein the at least nine elements are arranged as a matrix, at least three rows of the matrix being attributed to or entitled “

individual”

, “

organisational” and

“

global”

, respectively, or “

individual”

, “

organisation”

, and “

whole system”

.

20. The system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of profiles respectively associated with at least one of the plurality of data elements indicates that the at least one of the plurality of data elements relates to one or more levels of a corporate consciousness or corporate culture model.

21. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a further store arranged to store a further data element having at least one of the plurality of respective profiles associated therewith, access to the further data element being restricted.

22. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a network of a plurality of computers arranged to be capable of communicating with the server to facilitate input of different goals and/or measures related to goals and/or other data to the server, wherein

the different goals and/or other data constitutes respective data elements.

23. The system according to claim 22, wherein the server is further arranged to enable processing and/or visualisation at a computer of the plurality of computers of data elements provided by one or more of the other computers of the plurality of computers.

27. A profiling model for personal or organisational development, the model comprising a matrix of elements representing a plurality of categories, wherein:

at least three columns of the matrix being attributed to or entitled “

leadership”

, “

transformation”

, and “

performance”

, respectively, or “

be”

, “

do” and

.

28. A profiling model tool, comprising a physical representation of a number of the elements of the matrix of the profiling model according to claim 27.

29. (canceled)

30. A data library comprising a library of performance indicator definitions transmittable to computers in a network for a management system on multiple distributed computers.

31. The data library according to claim 30, wherein the library comprises a performance indicator definition that is updatable, the performance indicator definition being selectively replicatable in response to an update thereof amongst a number of the multiple distributed computers supporting the management system.
