Q. How do you deal with the “never-ending change” in digital transformation?
As a leader in digital transformation, Peloton deals with the never-ending change in digital transformation through a combination of strategic approaches and a forward-thinking mindset. Here’s how we manage continuous change:
Customer-Centric Focus: Customers are at the center of everything we do. They are always the firm’s North Star. Peloton’s ideology is that when you put the customer first everything else falls into place. Aligning our own people, processes, and technology within the firm will help us best achieve success for our customers. The firm has a culture of listening, empathizing, collaborating, sharing knowledge, and focusing on tangible outcomes, striving to earn our customers’ trust every day.
Strategic Team Building: One of our core principles emphasizes the significance of having the right individuals within the organization. Our belief that great leaders focus on culture and customer success outweighs leaders being locked into one specific role has proven instrumental to Peloton’s success. This philosophy, coupled with the confidence that together challenges will find resolution through steady incremental progress, has led to consistent double-digit year-over-year growth.
Continuous Learning and Innovation: Peloton fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the organization. We invest in ongoing training, development, and active coaching for our team members to stay updated with the latest trends and technologies.
At Peloton, we pride ourselves on hiring and developing outstanding professionals. Our great people are what truly make Peloton unique. We value connectivity, diversity, and inclusion as a team and within the community — we are stronger together.
Q. When people are having fun, they work together better and produce better work. How do you interpret this saying?
Our philosophy has been consistent over the years. When people are treated with respect and their points of view are heard as well as respected in a fun and collaborative culture positive things happen naturally.
Positive Client Interactions: When employees are happy and enthusiastic, it reflects positively in their client interactions. Satisfied clients are more likely to have a good experience and develop long-term partnerships with the consulting firm.
Collaboration and Empathy: Collaborative culture that promotes empathy for each other and our customers ensures that employees listen with a true sense of seeking to understand one another. This results in camaraderie and positive relationships among team members and customers. This, in turn, enhances collaboration, as people are more willing to share ideas, offer support, and work together toward common goals.
Practical Innovation: Two words that seem diametrically opposed to one another. However, when infused with a culture where steady progress occurs and employees listen to each other’s ideas, amazing things happen on a routine basis. It is the power of unlocking the potential of great people.
Higher Productivity: Happy employees are more motivated and engaged, leading to higher levels of productivity. When people enjoy their work, they are willing to put in extra effort and go the extra mile to achieve excellence
Better Problem Solving: In a fun work environment, individuals are more likely to approach problems with a positive mindset. This optimism can lead to more effective and efficient problem solving.
As the CEO, I would prioritize creating a positive work culture that values professional excellence, collaboration, teamwork, and fun. Ultimately, a fun and positive culture has become a competitive advantage helping Peloton to attract and retain top talent while supporting the success and profitable growth of the organization.
Q. Do you have any new services ready to be launched?
Yes, there are a few exciting new developments.
We continue to expand our global capabilities expanding operations in the United States, India, Brazil, and recently in the United Kingdom. We invest significant strategic focus to enhance our core capabilities of EPM and ERP always striving to enhance value to our customers. In addition, we continue to invest in enhancing and building industry expertise in Retail, Consumer Products, Manufacturing, Professional & Financial Services, High Tech, and Energy.
Q. What does the future hold for your company and its customers? Are exciting things on the way?
Our strategic planning process is one of the things that has helped Peloton achieve consistent year-over-year double-digit profitable growth.
Advisory, Consulting, and Managed Services: We are committed to ensuring that Peloton provides world-class capabilities and services to holistically serve our customers through all phases of their digital transformation journey. We are leveraging AI, RPA, and new approaches to drive results for our customers.
Great Professionals and Teams: We will continue to invest in hiring, retaining, and developing the best people. It is core to our culture and our strategy. Employees are our greatest asset, and we strive every day to listen, collaborate, and innovate together.
Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives: We promote diversity, inclusion, and belonging in our hiring process and culture. We embrace the value of working with a truly diverse team of professionals.
