Abstract

The paper contains a description of a social software platform prepared especially to address the need for supporting the processes of organizational learning. Different kinds of social software were used and their suitability in business environment was discussed.According to the SLATES paradigm formulated by McAfee (McAfee, 2006) social software can be used to achieve many different goals, many of them related to organizational learning. Finding the right tool to support the social part of learning in organizations seems to be very important nowadays, when many companies have to bear with global competition and build their competitive advantage on effective human capital management. We believe that there is a need for establishing a clear insight into advantages of using social software within knowledge-based organization
