One week after Brown Company's touching knowledge transfer success, a new consultation reached the Alliance.
Andrews-Patel Consulting—when Sarah Andrews, call center manager of this BPO company supporting health food EC operations, visited 221B Baker Street, her expression held deep concern.
"At our call center, there's a large gap in response quality between veterans and newcomers. But more serious than that..."
She continued while gazing at personnel materials in her hands.
"The turnover rate for newcomers is high. They quit saying 'I'm not suited for this' and 'I only cause trouble for customers.' But are they really lacking ability..."
I sensed in her words the fundamental problem of human resource development.
"Recently, management tells us 'Introduce AI for efficiency' and 'Cut those who can't perform.' But will this really solve the problem..."
"This is an interesting structure. The essence of the problem may be 'differences in support' rather than 'ability differences.'"
"Could we express this feeling a bit more emotionally?—People aren't 'incapable.' They just 'don't know how'."
"Let's structure this with SWOT analysis. We'll prove that human resource development is the greatest competitive advantage."
Brown, Reynolds and Krause Solutions' James spoke:
"We had the same challenge with newcomer education. The problem wasn't people but the education system."
Cabrera-Brown Solutions' Maria continued:
"We learned from customer relationships that people demonstrate power when understood."
Alliance's experience generated new insights for human resource development.
As investigation progressed, the real problem Andrews-Patel Company faced became clear.
"What specifically does management propose?" Holmes asked.
"'Automate simple inquiries with AI chatbots and have humans handle only difficult cases.' But if it fails, they plan to say 'humans were indeed inefficient.'"
I was horrified. This was also the work of Digital Aristocrats.
"More troubling is being told 'Spending time on incapable people is wasteful' and 'Keep only excellent people,'" Sarah said sadly.
Justifying personnel selection and abandoning development responsibility—a new attack method against working people became visible.
Gemini redefined human resource development value as strategic investment through SWOT analysis.
"People aren't 'costs.' People are growing assets. The problem is lacking systems to support that growth."
Sarah's expression brightened at Gemini's analysis.
Motrix Components' design manager proposed:
"In design technology, we created an environment where it's easy to say 'I don't understand.' Asking questions is the first step in learning."
NeonCraft Digital Solutions' representative continued:
"There are real-time knowledge support tools that display FAQ candidates. Changing 'search time' into 'learning time.'"
Alliance's concept was revolutionary.
"AI Knowledge Support" + "Growth Visualization" + "Safety Cultivation"—not managing people but supporting growth.
Two months after the project began, unexpected reactions occurred.
A letter from Tanaka-san, a newcomer with 3 months experience:
"Previously, I was afraid to say 'I don't understand' and sometimes caused trouble for customers. But now AI immediately provides answers, allowing me to respond with confidence. And seeing my growth in numbers makes work enjoyable."
Sato-san, a veteran, also spoke:
"The quality of newcomer questions has changed. Previously it was 'What should I do?' but now essential questions like 'Why this answer?' have increased, which helps me learn too."
Support systems were promoting organization-wide learning culture.
Three months later, warm voices arrived from customers:
"Call center responses have dramatically improved recently. Not only faster than before, but I can feel the staff's 'for the customer' attitude. I can call with confidence."
Sarah said with tears in her eyes:
"Staff gained confidence, creating mental space in customer responses. Technology supports people, people support customers—a positive cycle was born."
Six months later, the results were overwhelming:
However, the most important change was workplace atmosphere.
"There's no longer a distinction between 'incapable' and 'capable' people."
"We became a learning organization where everyone grows together."
At that night's Alliance meeting, Krueger-Thomas Solutions' Elizabeth spoke emotionally:
"Andrews-Patel Company's case revealed the most important thing. True organizational power isn't 'gathering excellent people' but 'systems that make people excellent'."
Cabrera-Brown Solutions' Maria continued:
"It was the same with customer relationships. Understanding others and supporting their growth creates the strongest bonds."
Holmes nodded deeply.
"You've made an important discovery. True independence is the power to maximize human potential."
Claude concluded:
"People aren't 'incapable.' They just 'don't know how.' And the system to teach that 'how' is true organizational power."
I was deeply moved. Andrews-Patel Company's success showed a new paradigm of human resource development.
"True independence isn't about managing people but the power to support human growth."
Holmes nodded.
"Exactly, Watson. And organizations with that power build the most sustainable competitive advantage."
Around that time, fearful voices arose in major corporate HR executive offices.
"Small and medium enterprises are talking about 'human resource development' and opposing our 'selection principle.'"
"'People are growing assets,' 'Believe in everyone's potential'... they're producing results with such idealism."
"At this rate, our 'elitism' will become outdated."
"New attack methods are needed. Let's make their success seem like 'idealism' and make them face reality."
New strategies attacking humanity itself utilizing Digital Divide were being prepared.
However, Alliance's belief in humanity and each company's growth culture became unshakeable. Volume Three's battle was also a fight for human dignity.
"Response quality is determined by the multiplication of search time and sense of security. And sense of security comes from being believed in"—From the Detective's Notes
