Abstract: Embodiments for cognitively identifying a propensity for obtaining white space target entities by a processor. Similarities between one or more potential target entities and current entities may be compared according to structured data and unstructured data. A propensity to engage in a transaction agreement may be determined for the one or more potential target entities according to the similarities and historical transaction agreements.

Abstract: A cognitive system, method and computer program product for maximizing a productivity of software development by a software development team. The system and method implement cognitive processes for determining what certain organizational factors and their optimal values which correspond to high performing software development teams. Based on the determinations correlating organization factors with productivity increases, the system prescribes what Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to improve (e.g., increase and decrease), and determine what are the target improvement values. Use of the systems and methods described herein enable development managers and executives to build maximum performance teams (or transform existing teams, boosting their productivity), by leveraging customized quantitative recommendation provided as output.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a channel sensitive knowledge manager receives content segments over multiple different source channels, and annotates the content segments with channel type tags corresponding to their respective source channel. Then, the channel sensitive knowledge manager receives a request from a user over a user interface and matches the user interface to one of the source channels. The channel sensitive knowledge manager identifies a set of the content segments that are annotated with a channel type tag corresponding to the match source channel. In turn, the channel sensitive knowledge manager generates answers to the request using the identified set of content segments and sends the answers to the user over the user interface.

Abstract: A tool for recommending social channel usage to achieve a targeted outcome. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, a plurality of social channel usage information for one or more employees. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, a plurality of outcome information for the one or more employees. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, based, at least in part, on the plurality of social channel usage information and the plurality of outcome information for the one or more employees, one or more analytical models. The tool determines, by one or more computer processors, based, at least in part, on the one or more analytical models, one or more recommendations to achieve a targeted outcome.
