First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable storage device having computer readable program code embodied thereon, the computer readable program code including:
- accessing storage that includes an association between a mentee-mentor match and a start and an end of the mentee-mentor match, wherein the mentee-mentor match is a match between a mentor and a mentee, includes an association between the mentee-mentor match and predetermined tasks, includes associations between the predetermined tasks and their respective completion, includes an association between the mentee and what performance metrics that have been assigned to the mentee, includes associations between the mentor and tags, availability information, location information, questionnaire data and predetermined performance metrics, and includes an association between the predetermined performance metrics and changes in the predetermined performance metrics;
collaborative user interface GUI (graphic user interface) that, when executed, communicates with an administrator user interface, mentor user interface and a mentee user interface;
a mentoring module that includes a mentor module and a mentee module, wherein the mentoring module when executed, stores retrieved mentor/mentee candidate information from a pre-existing human resources management application storing performance parameters and profile information of personnel of an organization maintained by the organization, with the candidate information including the performance parameters and the profile information, stores information received from the collaborative user interface GUI via the mentor user interface, and stores the tags, the availability information, the location information and the questionnaire data received from the collaborative user interface GUI via the mentee user interface;
tracking module that, when executed, tracks the start and the end of the mentee-mentor match, tracks when the predetermined tasks have been completed, and tracks the performance metrics that have been assigned to the mentee; and
analytics module that, when executed, measures the changes in the predetermined performance measurements of the mentor and the mentee and pulls data from preexisting applications to calculate analytics with measurement and calculated analytics made available to the administrator user interface by the collaborative user interface GUI.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating mentoring in an enterprise. An example method includes establishing a set of candidate mentors and a set of candidate mentees; providing a first user option to match a candidate mentor with a candidate mentee from the set of candidate mentors and the set of candidate mentees, respectively, yielding a mentor and an associated mentee in response thereto; selectively tracking a first performance parameter of the mentee over an interval during which a mentoring relationship exists between the mentor and the mentee and providing an indication of a change in the first performance parameter over time; and providing a second user option to initiate an action in response to the indication. The action may include initiating an adjustment in compensation for the mentee or mentor when the indication indicates a particular improvement in one or more performance parameter(s).
