Yes, I borrowed PIP from Tom Gilbert’s “Performance Improvement Potential” – from his 1978 book, Human Competence, because that’s one of the key functions/affordances I would like to see in it.

Here’s my wish list for the functionality of such a system…

• Organized by Enterprise, Function, Department, Processes, and Job
• Captures Performance & Gap Analysis Data
• Captures the Enabling Knowledge & Skills Data
• Captures all of the other Enablers of the Processes/ WorkStreams/ WorkFlows Data
• Establishes the Value of the Ideal Performance and any Gaps & Causes
• Established the projected (estimated) First and Life Cycle Costs and Benefits of various Solution-sets
• Houses for Access or Registration all Performance Guides and Learning Experiences
• Houses all Project Data for the building/buying of the Performance Guides and Learning Experiences

Of course, there are a ton or two of details under each of the bullets above. But Wish Lists seldom get down to that nitty-gritty detail because your dreams might too easily then become nightmares.
