Capture instructions while you're at work

Creating instructional material often feels like something that takes a lot of time and effort, which is why it is postponed. The result is that important knowledge only stays in heads and disappears as soon as colleagues change roles or leave. With SelfGuide, you can capture knowledge while you work, without lengthy journeys or extra strain. In this way, knowledge becomes central, up to date and immediately available to everyone and the organization remains stable, even in the event of personnel changes.
