KR Kounsulting successfully partners with Hoku apps
HokuApps, a global enterprise mobility solutions provider, has become the strategic technology partner for KR Konsulting Pte Ltd (KRK), an organizational development consultancy based in Singapore. KRK offers customized consulting services to support leaders and organizations in navigating real changes in the workplace. Recognized as one of the Top Ten Organization Development (OD) Consultants from Asia-by-Asia Business Outlook, KRK identified the need for an enterprise mobility solution in the post-pandemic era, as more organizations face people change challenges.
Through the partnership with HokuApps, KRK’s consultants can cater to a wider consumer base and expand their change consultancy services in the ASEAN region. The collaboration utilizes HokuApps’ low-code mobile application development platform to create a fully integrated digital solution that includes gamification and client-customized reporting capabilities.
As part of the partnership, HokuApps has delivered a mobile-centric integrated solution to enhance KRK’s support for change leadership, with a focus on middle manager core. The solution, called CHANGELEADER, facilitates middle managers’ growth in adaptive team leadership specific to their organizations’ demands. CHANGELEADER offers first-level change diagnostics, engagement with KRK’s associate consultants, access to consultant-grade learning content, one-on-one remote coaching, and communication channels between consultants and client members.
The unified digital solution features an automated first-level diagnostics and self-assessment system to provide support and guidance to middle managers. It includes a decision engine based on specific business rules and diagnostic questions, as well as leadership learning accessible through an on-demand self-serve process. The solution also incorporates an auto-triggered notification system for real-time communication between KRK’s associate consultants and clients, along with customized reporting capabilities.
KRK, in partnership with HokuApps, aims to disrupt the change consulting space by offering a digital application that functions as a self-sufficient micro-consultant. The partnership also supports the expansion of KRK’s business operations in ASEAN. KRK expects to increase its client base with the introduction of its middle-manager targeted digital solution.
Dr. Karuna Ramanathan, Founder and Principal Consultant at KRK, expressed the company’s commitment to leveraging technology and a low-code platform to accelerate digital transformation initiatives and deliver value-based results to clients. Kieran Kishore, Head of Operations and Analytics for CHANGELEADER, highlighted the streamlined operations, enhanced agility, and scalability that the solution brings, leading to potential cost savings and increased change effectiveness for clients.
HokuApps Director of Sales, Arif Gafar, expressed enthusiasm for the deployment of process automation and the digital leap forward for KRK. The partnership aims to help KRK maintain its leadership position in the highly competitive ASEAN market and adapt to the evolving business landscape following the pandemic.
