What do you like best about Wildsparq?

I love how the program is set up with large modules comprising smaller lessons that all tie into the module. Each month is the lesson, and the material is presented in different formats (articles, videos, short text / graphics, etc.). I also love the ability to go back and review lessons because it's impossible to remember all of the material, especially after the first year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

It is tough to find something to dislike. The only piece I do not appreciate is some of the navigation (finding where you were or going back to a previous lesson and trying to find it). It is a stretch to find a negative about the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

From the first month, it was a massive hit with our management team. If that does not affect your team, it's either your team is not on board with working through a program together, or this is not the right program for your team. If the team is hungry to learn then I genuinely believe it will positively affect your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

The program solves the problem of understanding people's behaviors and how new managers need training in this area before and during their role as a manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Kirkpatrick of Wildsparq

We're delighted to hear that Wildsparq has been beneficial for your team in understanding people's behaviors and providing training for new managers. We appreciate your recommendation and will continue to strive for excellence in our program.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

We like the flexibility of going thorugh the course stud y on our time when it is most convenient. The cost in terms of dollars and time are far less than attending a traditioanl leadership seminar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

At times the amount of work to be done after each lesson can be overwhelming. We are seeing an overlap of material and it is become increasingly dificult to really implement some of the lessons learned before the next lesson is calling for action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

Be sure to pick your team that will particiapte careflly. Let them know the time required is not just to "get through' the lesson but that there is some additioanl requirements to implement and put into action, the lessons learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our management team from Junior to Senior are being exposed to leaderhsip concepts. These are tehn discussed in a group settings and divisional actions are done so in a unified manner with everyone on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

Real-Life Application: The platform promotes practical application of leadership concepts learned during training to real-life work scenarios. The monthly group meetings enable our leaders to discuss how they can implement what they've learned in their roles, which, in turn, enhances their leadership effectiveness and our overall team performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

While the pre-built content is excellent, we appreciate more frequent updates to reflect the latest leadership trends, best practices, and industry-specific insights. Additonaly the power points from the pre-built trainings can be lacking. Ensuring the material remains fresh and relevant would enhance the long-term value of the platform. I've brought this up to the Wildsparq team and they communicated with me that this was something already undersay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

I would wholeheartedly recommend WildSparq to other organizations considering a leadership training platform. We've been using this for over 2 years and my managers really enjoy it. We're at the point now where indivudals are seeking this program and we may be introducing a new team of high-potential leaders who just want to learn to become great leaders for the future.Here are some other key recommendations based on our experience:

The gamified elements of WildSparq make training engaging and enjoyable for your teams. The competitive aspect encourages active participation and ensures that participants retain and apply what they've learned.The WildSparq team has been responsive and supportive throughout our journey. They have assisted with any questions or issues promptly, ensuring a smooth experience for both administrators and participants. Whether you have a small team or a large organization, WildSparq is scalable to meet your needs. You can easily expand your leadership development program as your company grows. Finalytheir continuous Improvement: While we've mentioned areas for improvement, it's worth noting that WildSparq actively seeks feedback from users. This commitment to ongoing improvement bodes well for the platform's future development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Leadership Development Efficiency:One of the primary issues it addresses is the efficient development of our managers and potential leaders. WildSparq's modular coursework allows our managers to engage in leadership training without disrupting their daily responsibilities. This balance between training and work benefits us by nurturing leadership skills without causing significant work interruptions.

Structured Training: WildSparq provides a structured and pre-built leadership training program. This has been immensely valuable as it eliminates the need for us to create training materials from scratch. The program includes comprehensive resources, scripts, and PowerPoint presentations for our monthly meetings, streamlining the training process and saving us considerable time and effort.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

Wildsparq provides already created and curated content for us to work into training and developing our leaders in a simple yet impactful way. The way it is set up allows us the freedom and flexiblity to move through the content in an order that aligns with our top leadership focus areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

The recent upgrade where we schedule the team meeting does not work for us. Our team meetings occur the first week after the calendar month closes and the system will not let me schedule it. I have to input an aribitrary date to "check that off" and then it sends messages to the team that gets them confused since it is not the real date.

Also - I would like it if the discussion guide could either be in word format or that with the discussion questions there was "fill in the blank" spaces for people to write their responses. I have to re-create the discussion guide in Word then send out to our people so that they have a document they can write their reponses in so they are prepared for the group discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

To me this is the best leadership development platform there is because it incorporates all styles of adult learning. It is simple and impactful and easy to integrate into already established meeting cadences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Across the board, Wildsparq is helping us grow our leaders at every level of the organization. The content is simple yet impactful and allows us to have robust conversations that drive learning, engagement, and growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

I like how it hits on various forms of learning to engage the audience. There are videos to watch, articles to read, and sometimes podcasts to listen to as well. The questions are personal and engaging and it has an easy user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

Sometimes the roundtable questions have the presumed pretext that the person already has a direct report, which is not always the case, so those tend to be conusing to answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

Companies make the mistake of assuming that a great individual contributor can easily step into a management or leadership role, but that is not always the case. If you are going to invest in someone to lead, invest in this tool to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

My company invests in the development of our people. We use Wildsparq to epuip our current and future leaders with the framework they need to develop others as well create a forum where we can learn from each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

What I like best is that the content is easy to digest and a minimal time commitment. We are all busy focusing on our day to day responsibilities and managing our teams, its nice to be able to redirect that time in a focused way on content that makes us better and more effective at what we need to do for our team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

Sometimes the content can feel a little bit repetitive as we have been on the platform for a long time now. I also sometimes cannot relate to the companies that they use as an example like Amazon or Google. I also feel that they need to be more mindful of diversity, equity and inclusion. They are getting better with DEI since we joined the platform but an issue that we all need to keep front of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

If you are considering Wildsparq make sure that you have commitment from all of your participants. It only works if everyone stays engaged. We also rotate our discussion leaders on regular basis to keep the facilitation fresh and interesting as we all have different styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Wildsparq with all of our current managers as well as aspiring managers. We set up teams to meet monthly. The teams meet together for 6 months at a time and are cross functional. It helps all of us to share expertise and perspectivce as well as getting to know one another. At the end of six months we are all assigned to new teams. It helps to keep our discussions fresh as well as continually building relationships with one another. The Wildsparq content gives us a great opportunity to focus our discussion and share both our learning and our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

The consistent communication it encourages amongst my team and other Wildsparq participants. Also, the ideas generated from the lessons, 1-on-1s, and team meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

The commenting daily for points. I wish that there were short questions to answer beyond the lesson that could spark new but relevant and continued conversation surrounding the lesson. It is nice to read others' comments but I think this could help with partipation and make it more fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

It's all about buy-in. Whoever is pitching the idea of Wildsparq to their team needs to have a plan to present all of the ways Wildsparq can promote creative thinking, draw team memebers closer together, encourage communication, and more. Once the executive team is on board, it's time to get buy-in from the managers and participants. They MUST know the WHY! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wildsparq is helping me to think more creatively, consider things I haven't thought of before, and helping me to restructure how I perform within my leadership role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

The most helpful thing about Wildsparq is that the lessons are specifically tailored to the workplace environment of Chick-fil-A. This makes it easier for the participants to envision how they can apply the learned concepts within their daily actions as leaders in the restaurant. Wildsparq has also helped the team learn how to work with people of different personality types in order to increase productivity as a team and maintain trust between each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

I wouldn't say I dislike Wildsparq, but an app on the app store would be very beneficial since it would be much easier to use than a web browser on a mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our leadership team used to struggle with effective and caring communication, whether that was with each other or our team members. Through the lessons, our leadership team has developed the ability to motivate, coach, and encourage the team members and each other in every situation. Our leadership team has grown with regard to emotional intelligence which benefits the entire organization and ensures our team feels cared for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildsparq?

It's so easy to use, very informative lessons and has a competitive element that keeps everyone on your team engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

The training modules are very focused on leadership development, so when working with at team that isn't at a leadership level, the facilitator will have to "adapt" the leadership lessons to something more applicable to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

Get a trial. See it. Use it. I think once you've experienced what Wildsparq has to offer, you'll know if it's right for you and your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wildsparq gives us the teamwork and leadership professional learning we need without the need to research, produce or search for resources ourselves. The modules are easy to follow, take a reasonable amount of time and give us the information for group discussion that is transforming how we interact and work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Kirkpatrick of Wildsparq

I like how practical it is. Every month I take away very specific action items that I can begin to impliment personally and professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildsparq?

There is a small time commitment, but it is well worth it, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildsparq:

My advice would be to difintely give it a shot, but make sure it is a team effort. One of the best parts of Wildpsarq are the conversations it starts amongst our team and the healthy competition it drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildsparq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wildpsarq has forced me to focus on weak areas in my personal & professional life. The modules have also provided more clarity and understanding in different relational topics (Like EQ for example) that I dont think I would have taken time to research outside of Wildsparq.
