Managing the technology dimension during the sales conversation is a critical element of the overall success of the discussion.

Virtual Talent Mobility

Get talents ready virtually

We provide consulting services to organisations challenged by the need to development their talents remotely. While transitioning to virtual working, it is vital to ensure that attracting and retaining talents remain a key focus.

Digitalization, the rise of the social enterprise and employee demands for meaningful work, authentic leadership and career progression are increasing competition for top talents in the market. Your competitive edge depends on the retention of scarce and critical skills needed to enable your business strategy.

We facilitate a cross-functional workshop with HR practitioners and managers of talents to map the journey to engagement and optimized talent contribution. Agile design and change management interventions to align with and get input from your talent community is an integral part of the program.

Technical Power Hour

Optimize the use of collaboration tools

End user adoption is often harder than anticipated and more effort is required to convince employees to use meetings platforms like ZOOM and MS TEAMS.

These workshops provide a safe environment for small groups to explore all the functionalities available to make online sessions fun and interactive.

They leave with a deeper understanding of how teamwork and collaboration is supported by the tools provided by the organisation.

Virtual Team Alliance

Aligning the transition to virtual working with team members

The switch to virtual working requires intentional alignment and planning. This workshop facilitates the team conversations needed to create clarity about purpose, work, tools, processes and communication to set your virtual team up for success.

The output is a Team Alliance that fosters a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, high-performance and accountability.
