NEW YORK, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm
focused on delivering digital transformation, today announced Adapt
and Rise, a role-based online learning platform that leverages
Genpact's expertise honed from delivering real-world change for
hundreds of clients. By making key insights available to the public
at no cost, Genpact aims to enable professional resilience and
accelerate adoption of the most critical professional skills and
competencies required to succeed in the digital age.
With the quickening pace of change, professionals need to
constantly improve their skills to distinguish themselves and
provide maximum value in a hyper-competitive job market. Skills
that were once seen as nice to have are now critical to succeeding
as part of the adaptive workforce required in the digital economy.
By opening to the public parts of its highly successful continuous
learning platform, Genome, Genpact is helping to
accelerate the professional learning process for everyone.
With Genome, Genpact is continuously preparing internally for
the future of work by enabling its talent to acquire new
skills and evolve quickly as industries and technologies change.
Inspired by work done by MIT's Center
for Collective Intelligence, Genome harnesses the collective
intelligence of Genpact's more than 90,000 employees. Using
Genpact's experts to curate knowledge for its distributed
workforce, Genome encourages the flow of information and easier
learning. Adapt and Rise takes this tested foundation and is now
offering it to the public.
"In this time of unprecedented global change, it is incumbent on
those who have resources to provide access to those who need them,"
said Tiger Tyagarajan, chief executive officer of Genpact.
"We believe it is important to share the insights honed from our
business and technology expertise to help people reach their
professional potential and maximize their ability to drive
meaningful impact in the world."
Genpact, in partnership with EdCast, provider of an
award-winning Learning Experience Platform (LXP) used by Global
2000 companies and large government organizations, is making
content available globally to enable people at all levels to
amplify their capabilities. Participants can learn and master a
wide variety of essential skills relevant to many key roles at the
heart of digital transformation.
Expert curators have rigorously curated 1,500 pieces of the most
relevant publicly available content that will help professionals
upskill in 13 vital roles: Business Analyst, Digital Program
Manager, Finance and Accounting Professional, Human Resources
Professional, Infrastructure and Logistics Professional, Process
Operations (Individual), Process Operations (Team Leader), Process
Operations (Organization Leader), Procurement Professional, Project
Manager, Risk and Compliance Professional, Sales and Marketing
Operations Support, and Tech Support Engineer.
Each role-based channel features approximately 100 hours of
bite-sized learning content, including videos, articles, blogs,
podcasts, and more. The content is categorized into 14 skills that
are common across roles, including Artificial Intelligence Basics,
Change Management, Customer Experience, Design Thinking, Digital
Business Strategy, People Leadership, and Storytelling. These
skills have become core to career advancement across roles and
career stages.
The content is presented in the context of thematic journeys,
each with up to four levels of proficiency. The learning order is
neither prescriptive nor linear; the learner can self-identify a
starting point and engage with the content in any order.
"EdCast helps global workforces meet their upskilling and
reskilling needs to become future-ready," said Karl Mehta, chief and founder of EdCast.
"This is why we launched the Future of Work Alliance that is
squarely focused on bringing this vision to fruition. We are very
proud to partner with Genpact on the Adapt and Rise platform
to bring personalized, role-based learning that is seamlessly
integrated with tools that most people regularly use, including
Microsoft Teams, Slack, Workplace by Facebook, Google, ServiceNow,
Salesforce, and others."
Genpact is democratizing learning at a moment of historically
high unemployment and when economic pressures will likely impact
company budgets that were earmarked for learning and development.
The company aims to enable professional resilience in a
hyper-competitive job market by making available learning for all
on the most critical modern skills and competencies that
organizations require to succeed in the digital age.
"Whether it's a graduating student, a transitioning worker, or a
working professional, we at Genpact believe that everyone should
have the opportunity to learn from our experience accumulated
through thousands of engagements with hundreds of clients," said
Gianni Giacomelli, chief
innovation leader at Genpact. "Our collective knowledge allows
us to determine what people should know and learn, and serve them
the right knowledge to ignite insights, boost skills, and amplify
talent. We are leveraging the collective intelligence enabled by
the Genome platform to make the most contemporary real-world
learnings available to millions of people at no cost."
