Abstract: A system and method is provided that allows a company to maintain a dynamic network database of intellectual capital. Entries in the database are stored on individual computers. Searches are conducted by transmitting a search request to each computer on the network. In addition, companies can post intellectual capital for other companies to view and to search. The system also facilitates the development of intellectual capital when the members of the development team are not in the same location by providing methods of communication, scheduling, sharing files and searching for additional team members.
