Method to Facilitate Obtaining, Storing, and Subsequently Conveying an Organization's Information for the Benefit of Successor Organization-Based Agents

Abstract

A party obtains ( 101 ) information from a plurality of different organizations and identifies ( 102 ) information recipient criteria as a function, at least in part, of at least one specific organization-based hierarchical function. This information and the information recipient criteria is then stored ( 108 ) non-volatily under conditions designed to preserve the information integrity of the information and the information recipient criteria for multiple successive successor organization-based agent generations. This can further comprise maintaining ( 110 ) at least this information in confidence while storing the information. As appropriate over time, the information as corresponds to a given one of the different organizations is provided ( 111 ) to respective successor organization-based agents who meet the corresponding information recipient criteria. So configured, successive generations of the successor organization-based agents within each of the different organizations will have sequential access to the information as corresponds to their respective organization while the information remains unrevealed to others.

1 . A method comprising:
 obtaining information from a plurality of individuals wherein at least some of the individuals are agents for different organizations by obtaining the information via an interview process conducted with at least one of the individuals using a virtual interviewer;   identifying for each of the plurality of individuals information recipient criteria as a function of their organization-based successor lineage with respect to a corresponding one of the plurality of individuals;   non-volatily storing the information under conditions designed to preserve the informational integrity of the information for multiple successive organization-based successor generations;   maintaining the information in confidence while storing the information;   providing the information as corresponds to a given one of the plurality of individuals to respective organization-based successors of the given one who meet the information recipient criteria;   
       such that successive generations of the organization-based successors have sequential access to the information as corresponds to their respective organization-based predecessor while the information remains unrevealed to others. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein identifying for each of the plurality of individuals information recipient criteria as a function of their organization-based successor lineage with respect to a corresponding one of the plurality of individuals further comprises identifying information recipient criteria to be applied when determining whether to deny providing the information to one of the organization-based successors as corresponds to a given corresponding respective organization-based predecessor. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the information recipient criteria to be applied when determining whether to deny providing the information comprises:
 an amount of time that the organization-based successor has served as a organization-based successor to the organization-based predecessor; 
 a change of ownership with respect to the organization served by the organization-based predecessor; 
 a change of control with respect to the organization served by the organization-based predecessor; 
 a change with respect to a particular product offering of the organization served by the organization-based predecessor; 
 a change with respect to a particular service offering of the organization served by the organization-based predecessor; 
 a change with respect to market share performance of the organization served by the organization-based predecessor. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein obtaining the information via an interview process further comprises conducting a live interview.
