“Tod has the remarkable ability to provide absolute clarity during moments of extreme uncertainty. I'm confident that there's no opportunity, set-back or scenario that could take Tod off guard. I met Tod in 2013 during the first time I pitched my business idea with my co-founder. At this time we had no customers, track-record or idea of the journey ahead. Fast-forward five years, Tod was officially our advisor, and he was guiding us through the complex negotiations of our startup's acquisition. What really made Tod such a stand-out advisor during this time was his reliability during the pivotal parts of the journey. I can count on Tod to keep me on track and for good advice - he delivered through countless phone calls, even when I needed them late in the evening. Even once during a family vacation, he was helping with business advice, all from a safari in Africa. The way Tod is able to identify what matters (and also what doesn't), come up with actionable strategies, and point out strengths and weaknesses of all the options on the table gives him the unique ability to win. Every business that Tod is involved in has a major advantage that is difficult to overstate.”

A knowledge modeling and delivery system combines pre-configured, parameterized models of human resource knowledge with organization-specific and employee-specific data. It delivers personalized answers to employee and manager questions about benefit plans, payroll, human resource (HR) policies, procedures, and practices. The pre-configured, parameterized models can be created and maintained outside the organization, the organizational data are created and maintained by the organization, and personal data are accessed or read from existing human resource management systems (HRMS's). This threefold partitioning yields a system that can be quickly customized to an individual organization, yields detailed and accurate information for individuals within the organization, and can be maintained in a cost-effective manner.
