Knowledge Harvesting The Knowledge Harvesting ® methodology originated in a company called LearnerFirst, which was focused on individual learning and was the first-to-market with commercial products which packaged top performers' knowledge as learning-while-doing software applications. Since 1993, our applications have been used in over 4,000 companies. Few client examples are offered due to proprietary and confidential nature of the information.
