Connect every step of the development cycle.
Potentially builds and hosts the learning, takes the booking, records the attendance, issues the credential, supports the annual review, and reports on all of it.
Every step feeds the next, and the last one feeds the first.

Build and run your own programs.
Courses, workshops, seminars, series and full programs, built by your team and delivered under your own branding. Any office can publish its own, and everything lands in one catalog that faculty search and book from.
Every course, conference and certificate, in one record.
Faculty do not only learn on your programs. Potentially keeps conferences, courses from other providers and certificates in one development record, and that record is reviewed, not just filled.
When someone asks for numbers, you have them.
Participation by department, completion of required training, take-up of each program. The numbers come from the system that ran the development, so they arrive already reconciled.

Running at national scale.
Jisc, the UK’s digital agency for education, runs its Building Digital Capability service on Potentially. Teaching staff, library professionals, researchers and students each work through a question set built for their role, and each receives a personalized report linked to a curated resource library.
“The platform contributes to a more open, inclusive culture. All staff discover opportunities, build career portfolios, and align development with strategic priorities including EDI, teaching excellence, and wellbeing.”
