Talent Development Solution Audit, Refactor, and Design Overhaul
The client
The Odin Development Compass helps people discover the strengths they naturally have. It was built by Odin Company, based in Nijmegen, the oldest town in the Netherlands, on the observation that people draw on only about two-thirds of their talent — leaving roughly 35% unused.
Organisations use it too: coaches and consultants get insight into the strengths of individuals and of teams. Teamcasting, part of the platform, supports leadership development by matching people to an assignment on talent, skill and experience.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
The product was already valuable to customers, but the interface and the experience were holding back wider adoption.
Challenge 01Traction the product deserved
The app’s UX and UI needed improving before it could gain the ground its underlying idea warranted.
Challenge 02Code worth building on
The existing codebase had to be audited and refactored rather than extended as it stood.
Challenge 03Data into a decision
Teamcasting turns a series of questions and the analysis behind them into a match for a particular assignment, which is a design problem as much as a statistical one.
What we did
An audit, a refactor and a redesigned module
Netguru audited and refactored the code, then redesigned how Teamcasting looks and how it feels to work through.
The code, examined
The existing codebase was audited before anything was changed, which is what makes a refactor safe.
Rebuilt underneath
Refactoring gave the platform a foundation that can carry the product’s ambitions.
Teamcasting reworked
Teamcasting was redesigned inside and out, so the insight it holds is actually reachable.
Matching people to work
The module helps an organisation identify who has the best combination of talent, skill and experience for a given assignment.
Client testimonial
Absolutely happy with the team. I like the people I'm working with and their PM is really good at understanding what's happening, and advising accordingly on the best way to go. She does whatever is within her power to get things done. I love her advising – very convincing, not selling, just being thoughtful
