Thrive Scales to New Heights with Modu Partnership
Thrive Learning exploded onto the highly competitive e-learning market in 2019.
They immediately disrupted the entire sector by combining all the standard features of a Learning Management System (LMS) and a Learning Experience Platform (LXP) with the unprecedented ability for HR teams to connect employees, social trends and world events through real-time responsive content.
As the client list grew and the need to stay ahead of the competition became critical, Thrive approached Modu for some scaling expertise.
60-Day Results
We delivered a thorough Discovery in one week, examining all aspects of product and tech delivery.
The Discovery threw up opportunities that were acted on right away through optimised working methods.
We delivered a 6-month roadmap of improvements in 2 weeks, which was enacted immediately.
Within a few weeks, we set up two new Modu offshore build teams, improving Thrive’s end-to-end delivery by 40%.
Improvements ranged from design, through prototyping, journey mapping and implementation of new features.
Continuous 60-day cycles delivered: a new learning certification service with a 60% adoption rate, a WhatsApp chatbot, new analytics capabilities, API optimisations and a new Live Broadcast capability.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
The Pathfinding Approach
Key to getting to value fast was not spending too much time over-analysing what needed to be done, so we went for a very targeted onsite discovery, completed in one week. And we made a point of talking to everyone: from founders to C-suite, product, tech, testing, sales, marketing, and operations.
Before the results of the Discovery were even published, we were talking about process optimisations to improve comms between product and tech and also to develop the microservices architecture roadmap. All these were implemented immediately.
Sensitive to the team's history and current challenges, we avoided any playbook-driven approaches to transformation and focused on quick results instead.
We put the offshore team together quickly and moved straight to 60-day delivery cycles, working closely with Thrive Product teams so that all new features felt home-grown.
