FOR LEAN MANAGERS

Act2Manage

is a micro-learning behavioural change app

to support managers on the job to get better in lean leadership and to improve employee engagement. Follow-up commitments and reminders help turn knowledge into concrete action steps.

BENEFITS

Managers make commitments, set deadlines and try new knowledge out in real, on-the-job situations. The app monitors the completion of commitments and sends polite reminders via in-app notification and e-mail.

Managers can ask for a quick feedback from their subordinates on their leadership work. Based on the results, they will see what behaviours they should demonstrate more frequently, and improve their related leadership skills with the help of the app.

Act2Manage answers real-life people management questions and problems. Cool badges, scoring system and learning challenges keep motivation level high and boost the fun factor during the development process.

Team members can share their thoughts and experiences, challenge each other and point out issues and opportunities via in-app message board.

The proven impact of behavioural science, positive psychology, neuroscience and gamification makes managers capable to turn efforts into achievements everyday through their learning journey.

Learning content is very straightforward and easy to implement. It can be customised according to the requirements of different user groups to increase relevancy and to save time.

Define learning journeys

Besides using Act2Manage as a performance support tool at the moment of need, contents are also organised into custom learning journeys in three ways: 1) put together by the user according to his or her own preferences, 2) complied by us, related to general leadership skills, managing people and managing processes, 3) constructed to support current organisational initiatives.

Monitor progress

Development is greatly enhanced by ongoing follow-up and progress tracking. Act2Manage offers a My Progress page where all achievement data is presented in one place including points and badges collected, microlearning contents covered, commitments made and completed, as well as positive feedback given to team members. In addition, our Leadership Feedback function can be used for progress tracking by repeating the assessment cycle every 3 months.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

As an HR expert, I frequently recommend Act2Manage to leaders, who are seeking effective support, guidance or a tool in order to successfully accomplish their leadership tasks, as well as who are keen on refreshing their knowledge previously gained in leadership courses. It is quickly accessible, compact, professionally relevant and high quality content.

It helps changing attitude and developing leadership skills in a short, concise and efficient way. It proves that serious things can be done in a funny way. When we gave the App to our leaders in addition to classrom trainings, they really appreciated it. 🙂 It is a state of the art, modern learning experience which suits all generation. The tool provides the best value for money I have met so far. Excellent professional support from TOM & ROBBY.

When I had a couple of minutes I used the App like reading a book by chapters. I started from basics to up the line. Most of the time I could choose a task from the preset ones or I could easily come up with a custom action to implement. I frequently searched for certain topics by occasion that were important or interesting at the moment. I could find help or reinforcement about an adequate behaviour or an action in a certain situation. The App also provided me the right words to express my thoughts in a short, fair and straightforward way. 🙂 We got very positive results from the engine production unit who used the app during the talent development program. The App provided further knowledge to the leader candidates and challenges were announced between the training modules. The young generation especially loved the playfulness and the availability of practical knowledge anytime and anywhere. The app is an important and pioneer step for us towards modern adult education methods and digitalization.

I am confident that learning skills do not happen in moments, but through small steps. If we can increase the number of these moments, we can raise our flexibility of learning. The Act2Manage Application means these moments for me. Pretty much practical to be close to everyday’s life and focused to draw my attention for what is truly important. It is an efficient development solution both independently and also as a part of a development program. „Here and now” it gives alternative solutions for leadership situations and also it stimulates you to think and act. And probably the most important: it makes learning and development enjoyable.

We placed greater emphasis on developing the leadership skills of middle managers during the past few years. We worked together with the founders of Act2Manage app in various in-house programs, and they came across as highly committed leadership development professionals. The main reasons why we decided to implement the app were its user-friendly design, the straightforward language and style that fits our company culture, and its features that support self-development and follow-up. Each learning module focuses on the essentials, therefore they can be easily and quickly completed. Specific commitments ensure that the newly learnt content is built into our everyday management practice. I would recommend it to all companies that are open to novel approaches and find it important to develop their managers continuously. It would be especially useful for organizations where classroom trainings are difficult to organize. With Act2Manage, everyone can learn and plan development activities at his or her own pace.
