Story
Baidu did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed documentation to move. In China, specialists and new hires already knew where institutional knowledge went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Portfolios from Asana is now in that path. Asana is a work management platform that helps teams track projects, goals, and cross-functional work in one place. The company treats it as production tooling for documentation, which is why specialists and new hires live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Baidu can show how institutional knowledge is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run documentation on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
