Abstract: A content delivery system (100) comprises a trusted holder of profile data (200) arranged to store information concerning a conscious entity, a content delivery requirement entity (210), a content intermediary entity (226); and a source of content (232). The trusted holder of profile data (200) is arranged to issue (230) profile reference data to the content delivery requirement entity in response to a request (222) therefrom, and to communicate (224) the profile reference data and at least part of the stored information concerning the conscious entity to the content intermediary entity (226), the request for content provision (222) being capable of identifying the conscious entity to the trusted holder of profile data. The content intermediary entity (226) is arranged to source, when in use, relevant content from the source of content (232) using the at least part of the stored information concerning the conscious entity.

Abstract: Business scorecard software provides management with traffic light displays to reflect strategy, objectives and targets. Typically, these systems focus on the Kaplan and Norton Balanced Scorecard and scorecarding of numbers. Search engines, knowledge retrieval systems and web portals use meta data to retrieve relevant information. The current invention provides a way to use the meta data inherent in an enhanced scorecard to enable focussed and efficient search and retrieval based on purpose or intent and thereby to create focussed purposeful web portals. Management expertise is the ability to achieve targets by implementing processes and developing appropriate climate and culture. The current invention provides a way to codify expertise and knowledge in relation to targets, process and culture as Process DNA, so that expertise can be captured and reused on-demand.
