The company, founded in 2012, builds a technology platform that uses machine learning, search, algorithms and recommendations to develop specific learning paths for individuals, making learning a constant discovery.</Description><OtherInformation>Today, learning does not only happen in schools or universities but continues for a lifetime. People in the global workforce, whether they are in public or private enterprise, need to continuously hone their skills and master the latest advances in a field. This requires a combination of formal learning -- one that is taught at universities, schools and is often static -- and informal learning -- one that is learnt from human interaction and that is more dynamic.</OtherInformation><StrategicPlanCore><Organization><Name>Declara</Name><Acronym>D2</Acronym><Identifier>_5a5a4ca9-2109-11e4-b7ff-fd4c63558038</Identifier><Description/><Stakeholder><Name>Ramona Pierson</Name><Description>Co-Founder &amp; Chief Executive Officer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Nelson Gonzalez</Name><Description>Co-founder &amp; Chief Strategy Officer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Debra Chrapaty</Name><Description>Chief Operating Officer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Simon Chesney</Name><Description>Head of Product Operations</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Jay Painter</Name><Description>Chief Technology Officer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Peter Wiegandt</Name><Description>Chief Commercial Officer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Ramon Icasiano</Name><Description>Head of Client Operations</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Jorgen Ericsson</Name><Description>Senior Vice President, Sales and Business Development </Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Declara Investors</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>GSV Capital</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>EDBI</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Data Collective</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Founders Fund</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Catamount Ventures</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder><Name>Susa Ventures</Name><Description/></Stakeholder></Organization><Vision><Description>Learning as constant discovery</Description><Identifier>_5a5a4caa-2109-11e4-b7ff-fd4c63558038</Identifier></Vision><Mission><Description>To develop specific learning paths for individuals</Description><Identifier>_5a5a4cab-2109-11e4-b7ff-fd4c63558038</Identifier></Mission><Value><Name>Learning</Name><Description/></Value><Value><Name>Personalization</Name><Description/></Value><Value><Name>Transformation</Name><Description/></Value><Goal><Name>CognitiveGraph™</Name><Description>Give every individual their own personalized learning path</Description><Identifier>_5a5a4cac-2109-11e4-b7ff-fd4c63558038</Identifier><SequenceIndicator/><Stakeholder><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation>Instead of giving every person the identical learning path, the Declara platform surfaces the right content in the right context. Based on an individual’s interactions with informational data -- blogs, web sites and documents -- and social data -- tweets, posts, colleagues, experts -- the Declara platform creates a CognitiveGraph™ giving every individual their own personalized learning path. This platform is already being used to drive learning across a diverse group of organizations to accelerate innovation; increase efficiency and drive large-scale transformations.</OtherInformation><Objective><Name/><Description/><Identifier>_5a5a4cad-2109-11e4-b7ff-fd4c63558038</Identifier><SequenceIndicator/><Stakeholder><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/></Objective></Goal></StrategicPlanCore><AdministrativeInformation><StartDate/><EndDate/><PublicationDate>2014-08-10</PublicationDate><Source>https://www.declara.com/about/</Source><Submitter><FirstName>Owen</FirstName><LastName>Ambur</LastName><PhoneNumber/><EmailAddress>Owen.Ambur@verizon.net</EmailAddress></Submitter></AdministrativeInformation></StrategicPlan>
