Virtuosoship – The state of being a virtuoso; the activities of a virtuoso

VIRTUOSO NEEDS NEW STATE TO BE BETTER

Skills, Heuristics, Innovation, and Productivity (SHIP) are dynamic and challenged constantly. When we launched the company — We wanted to be the smartest company on the planet run by Virtuoso team members. Over the years, we realized that the complacency and continued (unchallenged) success had become the biggest threat to the team’s professional IQ growth. In 2019, we launched a brand new Employee Dexterity Program — The Virtuosoship. Virtuoso means: Being Elite and Expert in a specialized field. There is a new word — Virtuosoship — It means: the state of being Virtuoso. This is like keeping yourself in Virtuoso status by acquiring new skills (S), experimenting with ideas (Heuristics); Innovating continuously (I), and Performing with a higher degree (P).

BEING VIRTUOSO

The state of being Virtuoso is not a one-time activity. The teams need to remain cutting edge continuously. Virtuoso means: A person who has specialized knowledge or skill in a field, A person who excels in technique or execution, A person who has a cultivated appreciation of artistic excellence and a technology connoisseur.

THE FRAMEWORK OF VIRTUOSO + SHIP

Besides being Virtuoso, the teams need to upgrade skills, participate in compulsory heuristics programs, join Innovation On (iO) as a member, and continuously perform better. Every Virtuoso member will undergo a 30-day mandatory Mastering Business Art (MBA) refresher Program in one or a few of the four disciplines — CX, Digital, Technology, Systems.

Hands-On

Someone who has hands-on experience of something has done or used it rather than just read or learned about it: Many employers consider the hands-on experience to be as useful as an academic qualification or a masterly skill.

Practical

Practical or practicable refers to a project or idea as being capable of being done or put into effect: the plan was expensive, yet functional. The person develops sharp acumen to succeed or be useful in real circumstances.

Fail Fast

A fail-fast approach is a sign of maturity to consider progressing on an idea or project or abandoning or tweaking quickly. Extensive testing and incremental development practices help you fail-fast without the stigma of a “failure.”
