SOLUTIONS
What makes UP different?
01.
Standard Diversity/Cultural Awareness
The Other Groups: There are hundreds of firms that offer standard, passive cultural awareness, history lessons, or generic EDI workshops.
The Disconnect: Organizations find these programs informative, but they struggle to connect them to daily operational performance, leaving them with an "awareness" checkmark but no behavior change.
Our Position: We do not teach cultural awareness or passive compliance. We move away from standard, passive diversity initiatives by introducing a true wrap-around process that addresses the root causes of workplace and community dynamics. We build operational capability, trust, and accountability.
02.
Pure Tech/Process or "Off-The-Shelf" IP
The Other Groups: Global vendors sell a rigid digital subscription pass.
The Disconnect: They leave it up to the client's internal HR team to figure out how to make the material stick, resulting in low adoption and wasted budgets.
Our Position: We translate proven global systems into culturally safe, locally relevant, and replicable solutions. We seamlessly integrate our global partnership with FranklinCovey directly into our localized delivery model. This grants access to an accredited curriculum featuring world-class productivity and execution tools that is provided on-site, in-person and virtual, while ensuring 100% of the training investment explicitly stays in Canada.
03.
Localized, Bilingual Risk Mitigation
The Other Groups: Many firms are strictly unilingual or regionally isolated, making them high-risk options for national federal bids or corporate consortiums that span provinces.
Our Position: UP is a trusted Canadian, Bilingual, Aboriginal, Woman-owned organization with decades of national and international experience. We inject elite, globally recognized scalability into our projects through our global leadership and organizational performance partner, FranklinCovey. with operations in over 160 countries, 5,000+ schools and 24+ languages serving Fortune 100 and 500 companies to small businesses, schools, and government entities. We offer complete operational compliance across Canada's dual-language frameworks while keeping 100% of the training investment right here in Canada.

"Lana and her experienced team were knowledgeable and eager to support our organization with a solution on the ground. They were diligent in traveling to our remote communities and were successful in quickly building trust, confidence and performance shortly after their arrival.

"The Mînowin Khtwam Sihcikewin project gave them tools that they will utilize throughout their lives. Before making decisions about education, employment, or any long-term goals, people need to learn coping strategies, be aware of their inner strengths, be aware of who they are and where they come from. They also need to learn how to be positive about their abilities as a person. This program did that!"
President, Association of Métis, Non and Status Indians Saskatchewan
