The Purepost Science

Each of the components that make up our Purepost approach is equally important.  

First, we knew that the problem we had to solve was not just a human resources sector problem. We knew that we had to look at this problem from multiple perspectives. The ability to have Multi-Industry Domain Knowledge throughout our Purepost team would give us insights, principles, and practical knowledge that was applicable and beneficial across various industries rather than being specific to just one sector. More specifically, multi-industry domain knowledge enhanced our problem-solving and innovation by fostering cross-disciplinary thinking, providing diverse perspectives, promoting adaptability, encouraging creativity, mitigating risks, and creating a competitive edge in the ever-evolving business landscape. 

‍Second, because of our strong domain knowledge, we knew the benefit of embedding a Dynamic Skill Taxonomy translation engine within our database would be a game changer for our initial product and our future suite of Purepost products. To date, our competitors have yet to succeed in doing this. We understood that an organizational skill taxonomy is a foundational tool for various HR and talent management initiatives, enabling organizations to leverage their human capital for sustained success and growth. Moreover, a Dynamic Skills Taxonomy would allow Purepost to provide skills translations by job title and resume/profile statement, something that none of our competitors could duplicate. Today, our embedded Dynamic Skills Taxonomy not only helps job seekers better understand and improve their skills and abilities but enables organizations to enhance their 1) Understanding of Skills, 2) Strategic Workforce Planning, 3) Talent Acquisition and Recruitment, 4) Employee Development, 5) Performance Management, 6) Training and Learning Initiatives, 7) Succession Planning, and 8) Cross-Functional Collaboration. 

‍Third, we distinctly understood the importance of ingraining Systems, Management, and Behavioral Science in every team member. Systems Science instructed us to research all problematic aspects of the system to identify, explore, and understand patterns of complexity at the intersection of disciplinary fields and areas of application. Successful systems research allowed us to apply systems thinking to the topic and apply a systems thinking approach to how the research was planned and conducted. Management Science enabled us to study and understand the nature of organizational operating structures or contexts. It forced us to examine organizations' common and divergent features regarding structure, tasks, technology, and people. One must understand the structures, tasks, and technology and their impact on people to do effective and quality translations. Behavioral Science enables us to study and understand the behavior of individuals within organizations regarding their human capital value. Purepost believes that human capital value is a compilation of an individual's skills, capabilities, behavior attributes, performance actions, and job time utilization. During the initial problem identification and definition stages, our internal research team's learning revealed the need for this unique blend of components to solve the problem successfully. We validated these early learnings to discover the underlying causes of the problem, the best possible solutions, and the best way to conduct our solution prototyping process.
