Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)

Props to Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)

Pros:

I appreciate 10KC for the ease with which I'm able to connect with mentors/mentees on a monthly basis. The pre-populated connection prompts make it easy for me to make that first connection.

Cons:

There aren't any negatives that prevent me from using 10KC as it suits my needs to connect with other people. If I could change one thing I would want the opportunity to customize my own profile to show more of my personality with the ability to change the colour scheme or addition of other media.

10KC: A must-have software for professional growth and development

Comments: Our expectations for using 10KC have been exceeded well beyond what we originally imagined. Networking and mentorship are two of very few top professional growth and development activities, but they can be very time-consuming and bit of hit-or-miss. 10KC successfully eliminates the barriers to excellent networking and mentorship experience. 10KC also includes several other added benefits - such as office hours, scheduling meetings, etc.

Pros:

10KC exceeded my expectations regarding value for participants; the software eliminated guess work that are commonly associated with professional mentorship and networking.

Cons:

I cannot think of what I like least about 10KC at this time.

Alternatives Considered: Graduway

Reasons for Switching to Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC): The features and value proposition were far superior and in line with what we were looking for.

The connection tool you need to expand your network

Pros:

The ease of setting up Office Hours with quick templates that can be customized for your events, allowing you to reduce the amount of admin you have been doing and focus on the event itself. Your participants get a quick look at what the event is, can register, submit questions if needed and get an automated calendar invite which is key to the event success and more reasons why you are spending less time on these administrative tasks previously done by hand rather than automated with the Ten Thousand Coffees platform.

Cons:

The calendar sync coming soon is highly anticipated!

Great potential

Pros:

The Ten Thousand Coffees program has great potential to create meaningful and impactful networking relationships especially in our virtual world. I am part of a college hub and when used, the students get a lot of great practice networking virtually. The biggest issue is engagement (what isn't though!).

Cons:

I think an app with a chat/search/push notification of monthly matches/office hours would make the software better utilized amongst student users.

Engage colleagues globally with a tech-enabled solution that seamlessly fits into your work culture

Comments: Not only is the 10KC platform excellent, the team at 10KC has been great partners, co-creators, and subject matter experts which has positively shaped how we bring this experience to life at our company. Additionally, their product team has been open to feedback and understanding our company's user experience which is much appreciated and reflected in new product features we have seen over the years. They truly value their customers and the voice of the customer helps shape how they evolve the platform.

Pros:

10KC has proven to be a high-impact, tech-enabled solution that has resulted in thousands of meaningful connections made across our global organization - and the impact as a result of this has been wide-sweeping. From a deeper understanding of our company's growth strategy and specific domains of expertise to building connections across personal identity and areas of passion both inside and outside of work, 10KC has provided a fantastic tool for our team to bring all of this to life. And, this happens all within a colleague's day-to-day workflow and employee experience - so no need to learn a new complex tool or regularly visit a new portal. 10KC meets our employees where they already are... in their Outlook inbox and other productivity tools!

Cons:

Nothing at this point. As a customer, any concerns we have had (both related to ideal future features or support needed) are addressed with urgency and/or we are kept up to date on the status as needed.
