Explore is SilkFlo’s organisation-wide catalogue of AI and automation work: every idea submitted (Ideas), every solution already live (Solutions), and everyone involved (People). It’s open to every user, including Standard Users. Open it from Explore in the side menu, or from the Get Involved links at the bottom of your Personal Dashboard.
Why Explore matters #
In most organisations, the same problem is spotted in several teams at once, and each team starts from scratch. Explore stops that in three ways:
- Fewer duplicates. Before you submit, check whether someone has already raised the same idea. Working with the existing idea’s owner strengthens its case; a duplicate splits the effort.
- Reuse what’s built. A solution one team has delivered may solve your problem too. Reusing it is far cheaper than building again.
- Find the right people. The person who knows a process best, or who delivered something similar, is often in another department.
Ideas #
Every idea submitted in your organisation, in one place. Use it to check whether someone has already raised the problem you’re thinking of, and to see what other teams are working on.
Filter by Value Drivers, Business Units, Teams, Submission Path, Tags, Applications and Location to narrow the list.
Tip: search Ideas before you submit. If the idea is already there, a duplicate splits the effort. Talk to the idea’s owner instead.
Solutions #
The AI and automation solutions that are already live in your organisation. Browse them to find something you could use in your own work, or to see what’s been delivered so far. A solution appears here automatically when its idea reaches the Deployed stage.
People #
Everyone in your organisation who uses SilkFlo. Use it to find subject matter experts and top contributors, and to see who’s behind the ideas you’re interested in. Each person shows their name, email, job title, business unit and the number of ideas they’ve submitted.
