Savvygoat converts educators into Herders, transforming their team-based courses into mountains. They guide their "Goats" to the summit, following a unique path of tasks via each milestone.
Savvygoat provides a series of Reflection Points throughout the climb to help the “Goats” navigate their team dynamics. Herders gain visibility, analytics, and support mechanisms to ensure their teams don't lose their way.

Responsibility
Help individuals realise their personal contribution to the team through the feedback and points awarded to tasks that they are involved with.
-
Collaboration
Make it easy for teams to share information, message each other and get support from course leaders all within a single platform.

Resilience
Evoke real-world pressures by displaying misjudgements, poor quality and inadequate planning through team reflections and visible reporting.
-
Proactivity
Encourage teams to improve their performance and explore topics in greater depth by creating their own tasks and crafting a unique pathway.
