“Elevanze is more than a travel provider – it’s a partner in organisational transformation, blending curated learning with experiential journeys” – CEO & Founder Peter Stenberg
Powered by the destination management company (DMC) Rustic Travel – that has operated since 2012 throughout Southeast Asia from its Borneo-based headquarters – this new division called Elevanze offers a value proposition with a difference. This is based on a hybrid model that combines incentives with corporate learning and that serves the needs within high-value trends, including experiential corporate travel and transformational learning.
In other words, through the focus on incentives, business travel, and education as pillars you can embark on learning journeys via Elevanze! Our name implies to elevate one’s business through relevant improvements (which can involve reskilling and upskilling), as well as a higher level of experience – and intended to exceed our clients’, and in turn their customers’, expectations; and for their staff and partners to rise.
Our focus lies on tailormade and impactful experiences – since every business is special and is seen as such! Thus, customisation is at the core of what is delivered. And expect incentive travel services unlike anything you have previously seen! This progressive differentiation enables us to expand our target market, including some underserved niches for corporate clients in terms of outings, learning expeditions, immersion trips/discovery journeys etc. Think: meaningful team building, curated learning, integrated CSR – and more!
For Elevanze it is of utmost importance to present solutions to the needs that businesses have today – which includes skills training and new approaches, in order to stay competitive and even reinvent companies. It aims to be your partner in corporate growth, not just a corporate travel provider.
How upskilling, learning outings, incentive trips and growth market connection can work in synergy is prioritised. Ensuring that employees can acquire new skills on a continuing basis is essential for business success! Upskilling helps employees develop the skills needed to navigate change, and innovate, while incentive trips help retain and motivate a skilled workforce. Thus, employers can effectively combine recognition and motivation with unique travel experiences. This also plays a key role in making a company more attractive to potential employees.
Both upskilling and reskilling are essential to address skill gaps and can help employees grow and be more productive. “Companies with comprehensive training programmes generate 218% higher income per employee.” New skills learning/employee training leads to a) sales b) new markets/increased revenue, and c) profit for businesses.
Staying ahead of the curve, as well as catching up on new methods, including such relating especially to AI (and generative AI in particular) are on everybody’s lips. And Modern organisations face rising demands to reskill at speed and look at how to rewire for growth. Then, letting go of rigid roles, outdated structures, and static mindsets to reimagine how development truly happens – can do wonders as transformative power!
Elevanze wants business journeys and retreats to be a catalyst: the spark that initiates significant change and growth within an organization, a team, or an individual. As a supplier it plays a part in enabling businesses to establish continuous learning and employee engagement.
For the learning execution, Elevanze collaborates with existing learning-focused solutions/providers to co-design packages.
