    In today's uncertain economic climate, the ability to identify effective and actionable solutions to business challenges is more crucial than ever to the strategic management process. When there are substantial problems to be solved, best practice benchmarking providers can be invaluable to top-level decision makers who are presented with complex organizational puzzles and an overwhelming abundance of possible solutions.
    By using carefully refined analytical techniques, a wealth of management expertise, and the power of collaboration among dedicated business professionals and the businesses themselves, benchmarking organizations can help companies to make sense of the universe of potential strategic directions.
    Finding the right benchmarking provider to meet the needs of your company, however, is not always easy. Nearly every veteran business leader has had the unpleasant experience of working with a consultant or consulting group that wasted too much time, failed to deliver usable solutions, or simply was not a good fit for the company. Choosing the wrong benchmarking provider can result in wasted time and money, as well as employee frustration and morale problems.

    This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of Provisional Patent
    Application No. 61/801,794, filed March 15, 2013. The present disclosure generally relates to a performance feedback system and more particularly relates to a social network based skill rating and performance feedback system. Online skill-rating systems have been developed with the advent of Internet. However, conventional skill-rating systems have several major problems. First, conventional skill-rating systems, at least from a user’s perspective, are not social network based. For example, a user, who knows best about the people best suited to provide feedback and ratings on the user’s skills, cannot build a social network for the purpose of facilitating receiving feedbacks (on the user’s skills) from those who are best suited to do so. As a result, with the conventional skill-rating systems, it is impossible for a user to build a social network of his or her own that facilitates the user to receive feedbacks and ratings from people who are best suited to do so. Second, conventional skill-rating systems are mostly designed to let a rater give ratings to a ratee on a pre-designated set of skill without giving the ratee an opportunity to define a context to which
    the rate hopes that the rater can reference (when giving the ratings). This yields the undesirable
    result that the ratings given by the rater are often too abstract for the ratee to appreciate or agree.
    Third, conventional skill-rating systems are simply not designed to track progress of a user on
    target skills over time in reference to a concrete and documentable context so as to use the
    documented and demonstrated progress of the user to encourage and motivate the user to make
    further improvement. Therefore, there is a need for a revolutionary skill-rating system and
    method that can address the above-noted deficiencies of conventional skill-rating systems.

Employees are empowered to take control of their own development and advancement, and your most ambitious employees will want to request ratings often so their good work gets noticed. And, because the business world can often be a cold and unkind place, we especially like how the product easily enables raters to include a positive, reinforcing message into a rating before delivering a critique.
