Modern corporations habitually calibrate along a single measure: a financial one. This is corporate longitude. The trouble is that it gives only part of the picture, and the other key co-ordinate is missing. A practicable method for measuring corporate longitude - or to put it another way, intellectual capital - is urgently needed. Intellectual capital is a combination of human capital - the brains, skills, insights and potential of those in an organisation - and structural capital - wrapped up in customers, processes, databases, brands and systems. Mindcompass provides a way to measure these intangibles as well as the financial facts, and to navigate through the turbulent waters of business and complete the picture.
