“We found our beautiful pattern in all the change.”

Changing the narrative to connecting the dots.

In the summer of 2019, Eric, as seasoned developer, and two developer friends spent months developing and launching a prototype of his flagship idea. A collaboration platform, that would help enable workforce scheduling and managment. The subsequent 4 years proved fruitful, as their collaboration platform company merged in and integrated several complimentary offerings and products, leading to a collaboration megatool.

“I’ve been moving pretty fast and our numbers continue to outperform forecasts. I would like to take a look at our talent strategy, our people and ways to up-skill our talent.”

Partnered with Yard, Eric went to work on a cross-functional assessment to assess and understand his business talent requirements, his diverse talent pool, their technical competencies, and career aspirations. Riding in the sidecar, we helped him crystalize his winning strategy for talent, “What I.F.F?” What “Investments” was the organization prepared to make? What “Future” were they driving towards? And, what “Friends” did they want to take along the journey.

We developed a journey map, engaged the best-in-class partners for talent development, leadership acceleration and management coaching. All team members were pulled into the future based on their unique skills, attributes, expertise and preferences - a truly customized, and embellished approach; all while remaining simple and flexible . . . providing a nod to the fast-moving, and ever-changing landscape of the organization.

“Yard helped me get it right. I can hold the success of my company, the wellness of my team and culture, in both hands at the same time. They really helped me see what seems mutually exclusive, often is not. It’s a very rewarding result, we help companies with collaboration, and it’s nice to finally say we actually live what we built.”
