In the 1990s, as the internet began integrating into daily life, he earned his degree in computer programming. Recognizing the rapid advancement of computer programs during this time, he noticed that immature corporate processes, when prematurely converted into software, could lead to critical errors for companies. To better understand and manage corporate development processes, he pursued a degree in Industrial Engineering.

As a Chief Auditor specializing in corporate maturity through ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards, he audited numerous international firms across Europe, America, and Africa. While the conversion of mature processes into software promised efficiency and effectiveness, he observed that organizations often struggled during periods of change. He recognized that, despite the best processes and software, the core of intellectual capital remained with the people.

During his career, he served on evaluation committees for multinational corporations and idealistic public institutions that achieved excellence under the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM). He observed that the world's most successful companies distinguished themselves by investing in their intellectual capital during their excellence journeys. Understanding that this dynamic force—distinct from traditional capital investments—propelled organizations towards a sustainable future through systematic processes, increased employee competence, and enhanced motivation, he completed a master's program in Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Document Management

Understanding the value of intellectual capital and aiming to increase the awareness of its stakeholders, IQI places great importance on the continuous improvement contributions of its organization's employees and supports its created ecosystem in this context.

In this scope, IQI defines corporate communication in five directions:

• Messages from the management to the organization,
• Communications within departments at their own levels,
• Messages from employees to department managers and senior executives,
• The organization's communication with customers,
• The organization's communication with suppliers.

SPQR is built upon the realization, monitoring, and impact of this five-directional communication on individual and corporate performance. Employees can share documents with their own departments or sub-units according to their positions in the organization chart. Quality representatives, unlike employees, can create documents for customers and suppliers as well. In this framework, along with organizational policies, procedures, instructions, etc., all documents used across the organization including internal and external correspondence, incoming and outgoing documents are created in accordance with international quality standards.

Personal Information Database

Unlike traditional human resources programs, current and potential employees create their own information banks. Thus, instead of standard prepared resumes, smart information banks suitable for digital transformation in human resources are formed. In this context, employees' skills, competencies, work experience, and contact information are recorded on SPQR. These informations are protected with a three-stage approval:

Employee statement,

Approval of the relevant manager,

Validations by IQI, including performance measurements, 360-degree evaluation, personality tests, completion of training, content creation, and consumption.

Unlike traditional HR programs, employees access the corporate portal of their own company during their employment. Employees who leave the job can continue their personal development by accessing the institute's portal page individually if they wish to continue their quality journey. In this framework, companies using SPQR can offer jobs to potential employees who are portal users and not working at any company. Similarly, individuals who are not working in any company but continue their personal development journey with IQI can apply for job postings of companies looking for employees suitable for their information banks through the portal.

Corporate Communication News

Employees, depending on their positions in the organization chart, can share news with their own departments or sub-units. Quality representatives, unlike employees, can also create news for customers and suppliers. The news is categorically created under headings such as internal organization announcements, developments in the sector, market analyses, articles supporting individual and corporate development.

Corporate Communication Video

Employees, according to their positions in the organizational chart, can share short videos with their own departments or sub-units. Quality representatives, unlike employees, can also create short videos for customers and suppliers. These videos are, unlike news, visual versions of announcements and news that do not exceed 1-2 minutes. Additionally, short video messages from management, instructions supported by videos, and short informative trainings are also created in this area.

Task Management

Task orders, a key dynamic in the interaction between processes and employees, are often ineffectively and inefficiently managed on traditional platforms. In conventional systems where task orders are followed verbally or in writing, and attempts are made to manage them through emails or shared files, it's impossible to measure and evaluate the degree of importance of the task orders, compliance with final deadlines, and the interaction between the individuals who create and are assigned to these tasks. In contrast, the task management model on SPQR analyzes all interactions, enhancing the dynamism of interactions between processes and individuals, thereby contributing to performance indicators.

Digital Form Management

Dijital dönüşüm çerçevesinde, kuruluşların hardcopy olarak kullandığı formlar SPQR'da akıllı formlara dönüştürülür. SPQR, mobil uyumlu olduğundan, kuruluş çalışanları yer ve zamandan bağımsız olarak bu formları kullanabilirler.
