The Best Workplace in Europe turned its leadership model into a product to make working life more meaningful, sensible, and productive for everyone.

What started as an internal platform, grew into LaaS, a digital multipurpose tool for every workplace.

LaaS – Leadership as a Service is a hands-on model that enables organizations to streamline and future-proof their business by helping individuals and teams to succeed. We turn data into company-wide insight and help you make smarter choices by providing a platform for self-organization, holistic well-being, continuous learning, and active knowledge-sharing.

LaaS helps you gradually replace outdated methods and models with new tangible solutions

The future of work brings both unprecedented opportunities and challenges that all organizations must tackle. Old leadership models and our ability to function are challenged by digitalization and the rapid changes in our operational environment. But you cannot create new with the old. 
The mindset shift requires new tools and thinking.

Coaching
management

Millennials and the YZ generation introduce new norms to leadership models, and managers have to learn new skills to keep up with their evolving role.

“Your employees are your organization’s internal customers. Why not treat them as well as your other customers?”

  • Benefits for employees

    Instead of a yet another HR system, you get a genuinely employee-centric service that people actually want to use

    LaaS offers your staff the tools and support they need to become more self-organized and gives them a channel for sharing their expertise over team borders. Because one size doesn’t fit all, LaaS allows everyone to choose what kind of support best meets their individual needs. Holistic well-being stems from a more humane and employee-centric leadership culture where employees are treated as internal customers.

    LaaS provides and visualizes data first and foremost for the employee

    Through better insight into their well-being and competence, employees gain a feeling of being in control of their future. And by understanding how strategy affects them, employees’ sense of meaning and purpose in their work increases.

  • Benefits for teams

    Self-directed teams are able to make smarter choices and better-informed decisions

    LaaS gives teams and individual team members a low-threshold channel for sharing their expertise. Teams get hands-on tools for co-developing their competence, peer-learning, and regular feedback. Teamwork becomes more streamlined, productive, and agile from day one.

    Predictability through data

    Continuous reflection helps teams to identify and tackle possible risks before they grow into full-blown problems. LaaS offers teams timely service suggestions and insight into things that are normally difficult to put into words.

  • Benefits for managers

    Superiors need support, too

    LaaS provides managers and superiors with the tools they need to adopt new coaching management skills and allows them to direct their resources into more meaningful work. Through tailored support and decentralizing their daily tasks, LaaS increases managers’ well-being at work.

    Visibility on individual, team, and organizational levels

    LaaS gives managers and superiors tools for facilitating coaching discussions. Insight into skill shortages in individual units and on the organizational level makes recruitment efforts easier. Data collected from several sources helps managers to remove roadblocks and nurture the success of their teams.

  • Benefits for the organization

    Leadership model stemming from customer-centricity

    With LaaS, you get tangible results and hands-on tools for your employees, superiors, HR, and management. You are able to carry out changes and reforms in a more humane and streamlined way. Your outdated tools can be replaced with one continuously developing product family.

    From guesswork to actionable data and foresight

    LaaS breaks down silos and gives you cross-organizational and systemic insight into all the relevant areas. You can measure the impact of the steps you’re taking as you go along and shift from educated guesses to predictability on all organizational levels. Focus your time and resources on what’s truly essential.

  • Our customers' success stories

    LaaS offered Keusote, a pioneer in the municipal sector, tangible tools for a culture reform

    The social and healthcare sector is under immense pressure to redesign their whole operational environment. Keusote was looking for partners and tools to help promote a more self-directed and collaborative organizational culture. They wanted to bring together six different municipalities and their working cultures while allowing their employees to take more ownership of their work and competence development. LaaS provided all the necessary pieces of the puzzle.

  • Our customers' success stories

    LaaS as a Learning as a Service platform at the cybersecurity services company Nixu

    The employees of Nixu took to LaaS quickly. They played an active part in developing LaaS into a Learning as a Service tool that made the vast in-house expertise visible throughout the organization and across geographical boundaries. The crowdsourced onboarding process set a solid foundation for growth. And true to their name, the first thing the cybersecurity expert company did was to audit the information security of LaaS.

  • Our customers' success stories

    LaaS helped Fonecta speed up to a new era of workplace well-being and employee satisfaction

    The theme of 2019 at Fonecta was the Year of the Customer. For HR, this meant a customer-centric approach to the development of Fonecta’s employee experience. The company has a long history of investing in their leadership models, and it showed in the high-quality of their managerial work. The next logical step was to enforce self-organization throughout the organization. For Fonecta, LaaS was an excellent tool for treating employees as self-directed internal customers.
