The current trends that are ensuring all businesses -new or old- have an edge in the future
Solving for :
Technology Pace & Adoption
Technology is fast increasing the standards of processes and systems, that earlier took decades to build and master. With collective intelligence at the hands of many, "engaged agile workforce" that makes the investment count, is a differentiated advantage.
UPVRD helps uplift the whole organisation, to help business benefit from an aligned workforce.

Customer Focus on 'Innovation'

How do we know if we are right customers for this product?As long as your organisation is dependent on people performing well, you are the right customer for this product. Who needs it ? 1. Your growth is faster than you thought, and now operations is being hindered by lack of leadership and culture. You need something fast and sustainable. Instead of investing in multiple leadership programs that cater to a few, you wnat something that takes root and spreads equally across. 2. Your people are your prized asset. They build the business and are key points of the business value chain. Isolated sessions on customer management, sales etc is feeling peripheral and you need something deeper and more long lasting. 3. You are hiring people ever so often, that it is tough to manage a standardised quality of learning across. Moreever, it is not personalised to the user's strengths and weaknesses or needs, and has become more of a tick of the list than a measurable impactful intervention. That said, wait a little more, if you are : 1. a one year old startup, it is best to focus on building the operating principle like process and technology first. Our parent company, Quonscious, can help with the setting the foundational cultural principles, around which the business and HR can then be built easily - even as you scale. 2. less than 50-100 people, it is still relatively easy to manage them without a product as long as the leadership and basic fundamentals are in place.

Trying to survive in a competitive market, Should I focus money on sales or learning ?In the short term: Focus should be on sales. Parallel to it, build the long term, through continuous learning. Because , 1. Sales is everyone's responsibility. From the floor to all the way to the top. Selling should be taught. 2. Sales also comes from good delivery/execution. Customer Management, people management and retention, process maturity , communication, work ethics etc. All these are learnt skills that over time will give compounded sales as word of mouth, brand, trusted reputation spreads from across the organisation.

As a CxO/Business/HR, how do I justify ROI for this product ?The changing business landscape, implies there is always a lot on the front burner. However, as our clients, and all sustained organisations, will tell you, nothing moves the business needle faster than continuously upgrading the people that are behind it. 1. Business need agility and change management to keep up with the customer's needs, followed by digital adoption and innovation. While some of it is functional, most of it is a mindset change ( Behaviour & Leadership). UPVRD is designed to allow for behavioural change ( and at scale and speed !) 2. Businesses lose more to internal conflict, inertness and change adoption than they do to lack of competency alone. Business, technological skills as well as behavioural, leadership skills upgrade is a must. UPVRD ensures people skills are holistically upgraded. 3. Adoption of continuous learning is a challenge in current era . Business buy systems, but these lie around under utilised. Current workforce will not use a system untill they feel compelled ( & not forced to comply) to revisit them. UPVRD ensures the personalised goal making, gamification and story telling helps with that. If you need help with a business plan, with clear ROIs for your unique organisation's needs and challenges, please reach out to us or Quonscious.

How is this product better than what is out there ( or already with us)?Great Question ! All products are good as long as they meet a business requirement. 1. However, even the best products, if not adopted well by the user, do not give the return of investment envisaged. UPVRD is designed to make it engaging for the user to stay on their learning journey by using gamification elements like story telling , that are beyond the pull of leadership boards and badges. 2. Most product are focused on one time learning, which is not retained for too long, reducing overall effectiveness. UPVRD ensures that every learning is practiced. It's content have been designed to be application centric, so the focus is one maximising user learning with minimal time and effort. 3. Most products focus on meeting the business need, rather than the user need. We do both. UPVRD offers both professional and personal growth in line with user's goals. Example, A sales learning is only holistic when supported by - (strengthening the user's other unique weakness like executive presence, building trust, and representing brand values ), compounding results .
