Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If employees search for skill information in current databases and networks, then information about skills can be identified, but the process is cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically identifying and extracting achievements from employee activities before they are needed for training. The achievement portfolio is pre-populated with relevant skill information, so employees don't need to search when training begins. The system proactively monitors activities, extracts achievements, and makes information ready in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically extracting achievements from employee activities without requiring manual searching or input. The portfolio builder autonomously identifies activities, extracts relevant achievements, and maintains the achievement portfolio, eliminating the need for employees to manually search databases or networks for skill information.
2Measurement precision
If employees lack requisite knowledge level when acquiring new skills, then they may identify irrelevant information, but current systems cannot filter or recommend appropriate information sources
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback by analyzing the relationship between employee activities and achievements. The portfolio builder continuously monitors employee activities, extracts achievements, and updates the achievement portfolio based on this feedback loop. This ensures the information remains relevant and adapted to the employee's current skill level and organizational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The achievement portfolio acts as an intermediary between raw employee activities and training information needs. Instead of employees directly searching databases, the portfolio builder mediates by extracting achievements from activities and presenting curated, relevant information through the achievement portfolio, ensuring information appropriateness regardless of employee knowledge level.
3Productivity
If manual searching and evaluation of employee skills is performed, then hiring and project assignments can be made, but the process is time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by continuously building and maintaining achievement portfolios that document employee skills and achievements before hiring or assignment decisions are needed. When evaluation is required, the pre-populated portfolios provide immediate access to relevant skill information, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual searches and evaluations at the moment of decision-making.

AI summary
A computer system comprises a display system and a portfolio builder in communication with the display system. The portfolio builder identifies activities of an employee. In response to identifying the activities, the portfolio builder identifies achievements of the employee from the activities. Further, the portfolio builder identifies recommended achievements from the achievements based on the application of one or more rules in a policy. Still further, the portfolio builder associates the recommended achievements with an achievement portfolio of the employee, enabling performing an operation for the organization based on the skills for the people in the organization.
