Where to start?

You made the strategic decision to prioritize the growth of your employees and recognize the need to introduce a Growth platform. Great! But where to start, who to involve, how to get your colleagues on board? You might encounter resistance, varying viewpoints, and technical limitations during the process. Taking on the challenge of introducing a Growth platform single-handedly is no simple task, and support would be immensely beneficial.

You did your research, reached out to TinQwise and concluded a growth platform is the solution to keep scaling up and strengthening your brand. Now is the time to get practical. So, follow our step-by-step plan and let's explore how to commence, engage the right individuals, and rally your colleagues for a successful implementation to really transform the idea of a growth path into reality.

The first step

Set priorities and define main criteria

As soon as you set your priorities, positive things start unfolding. Begin by extinguishing the most crucial fire: identify the pressing issue that the growth platform should address first. Is it onboarding, product knowledge, or sales skills, for instance?

✅ Yes? great!

That's a good first step. Use this strategy to set the right priorities.

⛔ No? No worries!

Get information from your stakeholders and start with the biggest challenge: what do employees need to make an impact now? What do you want to achieve first? What are your quick wins?

Step 2 Get the right people in your corner

Let your stakeholders actively support you. Typically, the stakeholders of our customers include business managers and HR/L&D colleagues. Involve them from the outset and ensure they have the necessary information. Take note of their desires and requirements. Paint a vivid picture for them, illustrating how the growth platform serves as a solution to their challenges. Make your stakeholders co-owners of the solution by involving them in the process.

Step 3 taking Small steps

Small steps go a long way. Breaking down the process of introducing a Growth Platform into smaller steps will help you take control of the process. Draw up an action plan, and take these factors into account. Create your action plan

1. Your dream team

Organize your dream team with the right knowledge and skills. Ask yourself: who possesses the most knowledge about engaging your employees and understanding their needs? Who will be working on the content? Who are the subject matter experts? Who holds the budget? If multiple departments are involved, ensure you include them all in your action plan.

2. Check their availability

A very important friend in this project might be one of your colleagues in the technical department! Approximately 16 hours of their valuable time will be dedicated to integrating your growth platform. Thus, it is crucial to schedule their availability effectively.

3. Start small, always!

Limited resources? Start small! Many resources? Still, start small. For a lot of our customers starting with a pilot was the way to go. Take a look at our Picnic case study for inspiration, as they too began with limited resources.

4. Running your own program

While it's wise to rely on our guidance initially, there will come a time when you will stand independently. Did you know that 70% of our customers currently run their programs autonomously? Explore how other customers have achieved this on our Cases page.

5. You won't be alone

With over 30 years of experience and expertise, we are well-equipped to provide accelerated development and valuable advice. We can help you start small and still help prepare for future developments!

The final Steps

Step 4

Implementation of a new tool is never a one-man show. Managers from each department have to be involved in key decisions. Understanding their perspective will help you get them on your side.

To persuade both your stakeholders and budget holders, prepare a compelling business case. Crafting a strong case is crucial as it ensures you provide the necessary information, establishes concrete results, and clarifies objectives.

Step 5

Got a ‘yes’ from your decision makers? Great! Now it's time to transform your growth platform into a reality and start the implementation process.

Get set!

Introducing a growth platform in your organization requires careful planning and execution. Begin by setting clear priorities, engaging stakeholders, creating a comprehensive action plan, persuading budget holders, and involving managers. Once these steps are completed, you're all set to initiate the implementation phase.
