Today’s corporate world is marred with challenges of having to function in a highly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment, where being agile and adaptive to tomorrow’s needs is the only way out. “It is not just about the skills required today but being adept at answering the requirements of tomorrow is what formulates the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful organization,” says Padmaja Vaswani, Founder & CEO of Siksha, a Bangalore headquartered Boutique Learning & Development (L&D) Consulting Firm, which has also set-up their office in London. Siksha empowers clients to develop their people capabilities, maximize operational efficiencies and unlock their growth potential with their customized solutions specialized in the areas of Leadership, Sales, Service and Organization Development.

The Integrated Learning Approach
Organizations often approach L&D solutions as a means to a specific end. Aimed at harnessing the true human capital and to create an overall business impact, Siksha’s talent capability development solutions help develop people and process capabilities which enables clients to meet organizational performance. The firm has devised an all-encompassing ADCI model which provides Organizations with optimum learning solutions across various levels and helps build an effective talent-ready pool for sustained growth.

The first juncture of ADCI, 'Assessment' makes use of various psychometric tools which evaluates an individual or team’s orientation to professional success. The outcome of the assessment helps the Siksha team build a customized talent development roadmap aligned to any organization's desired state of performance. The company also

works towards the ‘Development’ of its clients’ talent based on their industry vertical and roles. ‘Coaching’, the third part of the ADCI model helps individuals sustain momentum of their learning and helps stay on track with their personal development plans. While the last step of 'Implementation' helps individuals apply their learning in real-time environment to produce incremental results that guarantees tangible business impact.

Siksha has proven success stories with a range of Organizations from different industries where this integrated approach of ADCI model was embraced to develop Emerging/ high-potential Leaders, Salesforce Management teams and Service champions. The blended learning solutions in this approach equip talent across disciplines with adequate knowledge and professional skills to compete, adapt and innovate to stay ahead.

In order to continuously provide unique, enriched and engaging solutions through immersive learning methodologies to its range of clientele, Siksha partners with a globally renowned L&D Organization, Celemi International-Sweden, since 2011 and offers Board-based business simulations across levels and across industries. Early this year, they have also broadened their scope to provide Organization Development (OD) Solutions in India in partnership with N.E.W.S. Navigation Switzerland.

“As an architect of talent and organization development, Siksha relentlessly strives to act as an ideal catalyst that truly partners with organizations in their holistic growth and transformation”, concludes Padmaja Vaswani.
