Abstract
Examples relate to performance of tasks within organizations. In example implementations, a computing device receives a user profile of a plurality of users in an organization. The device may receive a task from a first user in the organization including an action to be performed by one user on behalf of another. In response, the device may receive a plurality of bids from other users in the organization, where each bid specifies a number of credits to be exchanged between the first user and a second user for performance of the task. The device may receive a selection of a particular bid from the first user. Upon performance of the task, the device may exchange the specified number of credits between the first user and the second user.
