Question 1

What is Tenzing?

Accepted Answer

Tenzing is a Capability Activation platform that uses AI agents, WhatsApp-integrated journeys and blended programs to turn learning into action and measurable capability. We combine specialized human curation with AI to develop leaders and teams in practice.

Question 2

Why the name "Tenzing"?

Accepted Answer

Named after Tenzing Norgay, the legendary Sherpa who guided Edmund Hillary to the summit of Everest in 1953. Just as Tenzing Norgay combined deep expertise with practical guidance, our AI assistants combine human expertise with AI to guide professionals to their next level.

Question 3

Is Tenzing a consultancy or a technology platform?

Accepted Answer

Both, by design. We operate in two layers: Tenzing Platform (AI agents, analytics, integrations) and Tenzing Programs (journey design, facilitation, implementation). This combination ensures technology is applied with real human expertise.

Question 4

What are AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

AI assistants are conversational AI agents trained by human specialists to accompany professionals in development journeys. They operate via WhatsApp, provoking reflections, suggesting practical actions, tracking execution and generating development signals for HR.

Question 5

Why WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp is the most used communication channel in Brazil and many markets. Bringing development to where people already are ensures organic adoption. No new apps, no unfamiliar platforms. The result: participation rates above 90%.

Question 6

What is KIAC?

Accepted Answer

KIAC is Tenzing's proprietary methodological engine: Knowledge, Intention, Action, Capability. It's the loop that transforms content into real capability. Most L&D programs stop at Knowledge, KIAC ensures the next 3 stages are actively tracked and measured.

Question 7

What's the difference between capability and competency?

Accepted Answer

Competency, in the KSA model (Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes), is the integrated set of these three dimensions that produces differentiated performance. Capability, on the other hand, is the sustained ability to execute a skill with mastery over time, repeatedly and consistently. Tenzing develops capabilities: we start from knowledge delivered and, through continuous practice with our AI agents, transform it into sustained execution. We don't address the attitude dimension, which is individual and falls under the manager's influence.

Question 8

What is the Business Partner (BP)?

Accepted Answer

An AI agent available on WhatsApp that provides HR support 24/7. It answers questions about policies and benefits, collects engagement signals, and escalates sensitive issues to human specialists. Reduces repetitive queries by up to 70%.

Question 9

What is Tenzing Analytics?

Accepted Answer

A capabilities dashboard built from real conversations, not surveys. It delivers an organizational capability map, KIAC progression tracking, predictive signals, and executive-ready reports - all based on data generated in practice.

Question 10

Does Tenzing offer NR1 and mental health solutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tenzing can be configured for mental health programs and NR1 compliance (Brazilian workplace mental health regulation), including a safe listening channel, early risk identification, and intelligent escalation to human specialists when needed.

Question 11

Who benefits from Tenzing?

Accepted Answer

CHROs and HR teams gain real behavior data to scale development. CEOs and business leaders get an intelligence layer that connects people investments to business results. Leaders and teams receive real support via WhatsApp, at the moment they need it.

Question 12

What results has Tenzing proven?

Accepted Answer

Grupo Martins: 99.6% engagement with 270 leaders over 6 months. Confenar: NPS +93 and CSAT 4.93/5 with 220 leaders at a national sales conference. Nortec Química: 20 leaders tracked over 2 months with measurable capability transfer.

Question 13

What's the minimum company size?

Accepted Answer

We recommend Tenzing for organizations with 100+ employees seeking scalable development. For smaller teams, individual coaching may be more appropriate.

Question 14

How is ROI measured?

Accepted Answer

We measure concrete outcomes: participation rate, actions executed, development signals, NPS, CSAT and business indicators defined together (e.g., 1:1 quality, feedback frequency, leadership readiness).

Question 15

Is Tenzing LGPD and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We follow privacy-by-design and data minimization principles. Data is processed in compliance with LGPD (Brazil) and GDPR (Europe).

Question 16

What are the ethical limits of the AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

Our agents have clear limits: no clinical diagnoses, no hiring/firing decisions, no replacing professional coaching in complex situations. When they detect need for human support, they escalate.
