You're managing a diverse team. How can you ensure equal opportunities and recognition for all members?
Aligning all team members to team/project goal is the starting point. After this identify the roles and responsibilities of each member in consultation with team members. During this they will give their responsibility preferences. While assigning the responsibilities identify the critical nature of each one's contribution. Make each members feel that each member's contribution is aligned with team goal. During team meetings highlight how each member's role in achieving goal. Also bring out the fact how each member's contribution will enhance the value of the project. This will help each member to feel involved in the project and respected for his/her contribution. If there arise any conflict resolve it forthwith without diluting goals.

Struggling to connect with remote team members in BPO collaboration?
Communications, (formal and informal) is key for success. Regular communication helps to build confidence of team members, remote ones in particular. Explore multiple channels of communication and do not restrict to formal one. Remote team members need to get priority in all formal communications. In meetings where some members are remote, it's difficult to get attention of remote members and may not get opportunity to be heard. Make it necessary for remote members to speak first and get views. Given the fact not all remote members have professional workplace, making them speak during meetings helps them to overcome impediments if any. If you ask remote member to lead the meeting, it helps them to feel involved and contribute to the project

What steps can you take to build trust and collaboration between offshore and onshore teams in a BPO project?
To build the trust, the teams use formal & informal channels. Regular and open communication helps in understanding and appreciating each other. Share cultural nuances, if any gaps in communication occurs e.g. some in offshore teams start with NO in the beginning though they do not intend to convey anything negative. Due to culture, some are circumspect in the commitments, but leaders should explain this otherwise it is taken as lack of commitment. Contentious items should be discussed with open mind and solution options for resolution. Paraphrasing what was stated, brings clarity and better understanding. Informal communications will help in bringing clarity and better understanding of the issues, resulting trust and better collaboration.

Dealing with a data security breach in your BPO team. How will you ensure it doesn't happen again?
Data Security is non-negotiable for BPO. Two-pronged approach: One, education & training of staff on strict adherence to Data security, second creating the process controls in a way that, opportunities for Data Security breach are removed/minimized. For staff, reiteration of Data Security norms on regular basis is necessary. For process controls, use digital technology including masking of data, display data that is required for processing. This can be achieved by adherence to Security Standard prescribed by recognized Standards Organization. Regular audit of people sensitivity and process controls will ensure full compliance. If breach occurs, disciplinary action is mandatory for people responsible for it and fix gaps in process control.

Initiating benefits is one thing, but refining and ensuring employees are absolutely benefited is whole different thing because it needs constant employee connects and listening to what they have to say. Constructive feedback should be taken and worked upon if you want to deliver a work environment that enables your employees to be the best at what they do.

Yesterday, a Deja Vu moment as Agam Garg, a recognized leader in the Start-Up space, visited TASC Corporate Services. Today, he spearheads Future Milez, one of our EBOs, driving its journey to becoming a key player in its domain. Amazing brainstorming session with Anantha Krishnan, Muhammad Zeeshan and Varun Crasta, as we delved into the benefits of technology to drive scale, and sustained profitability. As per Michael Tushman in his book #leadanddisrupt, Organizations have to be ambidexter to help build EBOs (Emerging Business Opportunities) it consists of three distinct disciplines: (1) Ideation to generate potential new business ideas (2)Incubation to validate these ideas in the market, and keep pivoting (3)Scaling to reallocate the assets and capabilities needed to grow the new businesses. The Future Milez team's dedication is commendable, and success seems imminent! Excited to continue our meetings and cultivate synergies.

Navigating the New Frontier: Elevating Cybersecurity and Risk Management in Insurance At the Elets BFSI Insurance Innovation Summit & Awards, Satyanandan Atyam, Chief Risk Officer at Tata AIG General Insurance, shed light on the critical intersection of data privacy, cybersecurity, and risk management in the insurance sector. As industries digitize and regulatory landscapes evolve, insurers face unique challenges and opportunities in managing risks and protecting client data. Key Highlights: Data Privacy & Protection (DPDP): Insurers handle vast amounts of sensitive data and may soon be classified as significant data fiduciaries, bringing stricter compliance and scrutiny. Insurance Business Model: Reliance on intermediaries presents unique KYC challenges, emphasizing the need for secure data handling practices. Cybersecurity Infrastructure: Insurers must adopt progressive risk management practices due to their complex networks and vast data, which create a broad attack surface. Regulatory Impact: Stricter regulations necessitate a comprehensive reevaluation of data management and cybersecurity strategies. Future Strategies: Overhauling data management, adopting data anonymization technologies, and integrating consent management systems are crucial for compliance and risk mitigation. Atyam’s insights underscore the imperative for the insurance sector to enhance its risk management and cybersecurity protocols. As the industry evolves with regulatory changes and technological advancements, insurers must stay ahead to protect data assets and maintain client trust.
