Project Title

How we helped a fast-growing Digital Media Agency to build a thriving Culture by designing People Practices to drive productivity and team development

Approach and Findings

Team interactions to identify areas of improvement:

We had interactions with every unique role in the organization to understand their current roles, challenges and areas for improvement in process. This led to identification of opportunities for setting processes, improving efficiency, role expansion and role clarity.

Zeroing in on the Problem Statement

During the process, we understood that most of the managers were first time managers, homegrown and young, and hence needed more processes/guidelines on all aspects. We also came across a very interesting challenge - how to assess the subjective areas of a role in a structured and consistent manner.

Roadmap planning:

Based on the findings and possible solutions, we suggested the roadmap that best suits the management's vision for the business and culture, where they wanted their team leaders to be effective leaders, undersand the business metrics and create a strong team which promotes a learning and high growth.

Work Done

  • 1. Key performance indicators, measurement criteria, rating levels for each unique role in the company.
  • 2. Data trackers, input forms and automated reports to have supporting information for each metric.
  • 3. Subjective assessment parameters common across a role or department/s
  • 4. Communicated the KPIs, trackers, subjective assessment parameters to the entire team to ensure that everyone has understood their KPIs and how it is going to help them improve their work
  • 5. Ensured that the trackers and subjective assessments are done as per the set timelines
  • 6. Conducted structured reviews where we helped the managers identify the feedback pointers so that the feedback is communicated in a constructive manner with clear action items across different roles.
  • 7. Parallely worked on improving business accumen of team heads to help them understand profitability for a team, cluster, client and service.
  • 8. Identified team members who needed to be put on development and improvement programs, created a structured 3-6 month program customised to suit each team member based on their strengths and weaknesses. Rolled out the programme and saw it through.
  • 9. Designed a gamified induction plan to have faster ice-breakers with the team to help the new joiner reach their full potential much sooner.
