Chapter 4: The Shift

Y/N’s POV

The next few weeks at Styles Enterprises were a whirlwind. Between adjusting to your new role and navigating the awkward tension of working in the same building as Harry Styles, you barely had time to catch your breath. To your surprise, he seemed to be taking your words seriously. There were no smug comments, no unnecessary run-ins. He gave you space, and you appreciated it.

But then little things started happening.

It began on a Tuesday morning when you arrived at your desk to find a mug waiting for you—a sleek black ceramic mug, steam curling from the top, carrying the unmistakable scent of your favorite coffee: caramel macchiato with a hint of hazelnut.

You froze, staring at the mug like it might explode. A sticky note was stuck to the side, the handwriting annoyingly neat.

“Thought you might need this. — H”

You looked around the office, half-expecting him to pop out from somewhere and smirk at you, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Still, you couldn’t help but take a sip. It was perfect—just the way you liked it.

Harry’s POV

Harry watched from the corner of the office, pretending to review some reports while keeping an eye on you. He couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at his lips when you lifted the mug, sniffed it suspiciously, and finally took a sip. He’d spent a ridiculous amount of time scrolling through your Instagram the night before, hoping to find some clue about your coffee order. He’d hit gold when he stumbled across an old photo captioned, “Starting the day right: caramel + hazelnut = heaven.”

He knew it was a small gesture, but it was a start.

Y/N’s POV

You didn’t look in his direction, but he saw the slight softening in your expression as you set the mug down. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to give him a glimmer of hope.

Over the next few days, more changes became noticeable. Harry made sure your workload was manageable, subtly redirecting overly demanding projects to other team members without making a big deal of it. He arranged for your team to get new ergonomic chairs after overhearing you mention a sore back. He even went out of his way to greet you every morning with a simple, “Good morning, Y/N,” his tone sincere and devoid of any arrogance.

At first, you couldn’t help but be suspicious. Was this some elaborate ploy to win you over? But the more you observed, the harder it was to deny that his efforts felt… genuine.

Harry’s POV

Every night, Harry replayed your words from the confrontation in his office. He knew he couldn’t erase the pain he’d caused, but he was determined to show you that he’d changed. That he wasn’t the same cruel boy who’d tormented you.

He made a point of asking your team for feedback—not in a way that singled you out, but just enough to gauge how things were going for you. He listened when they mentioned your frustrations, like the outdated software slowing down your work, and immediately approved a system upgrade.

It wasn’t about buying your forgiveness. It was about creating an environment where you didn’t have to feel the way he’d made you feel all those years ago.

Y/N’s POV

You noticed the changes but refused to acknowledge them directly. You didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of thinking he’d won you over. But the morning you walked into the office and found a sleek new laptop on your desk with another note—“For when the old one acts up again. Hope this helps.- H”—you felt a pang of something you couldn’t quite place.

Reluctantly, you began to wonder: Could people really change?

Harry’s POV

He didn’t expect a thank-you for the coffee, the laptop, or the chairs. Hell, he didn’t even expect you to speak to him outside of work matters. But that didn’t stop him from trying. Every little gesture, every effort to make your experience at Styles Enterprises a good one, was a step toward redemption in his eyes.

One evening, long after most of the office had cleared out, Harry sat at his desk, scrolling through a list of potential wellness initiatives for employees. He’d heard you mention during a meeting that mental health support was often overlooked in corporate environments, and he wanted to make sure that wasn’t the case here.

He drafted an email to HR suggesting an in-house therapist be made available for employees, attaching a few articles about the benefits. His finger hovered over the “Send” button for a moment before he clicked it.

It was just one more step in a journey he wasn’t sure he’d ever complete. But for the first time in his life, he didn’t mind the work.

Y/N’s POV

That Friday, you found yourself working late again, your office nearly empty as the city lights twinkled through the windows. Your new laptop hummed softly as you wrapped up an overdue report. You stretched your arms over your head, groaning quietly at the ache in your back.

“Burning the midnight oil?”

You jumped, startled by the voice. Turning, you saw Harry leaning casually against the doorway, holding two steaming paper cups.

“What are you doing here?” you asked, more sharply than you intended.

He raised the cups in his hands. “Thought you might need a pick-me-up.” He approached slowly, placing one on your desk. “Decaf caramel macchiato—extra hazelnut. Don’t worry, I checked this time. No surprises.”

Your stomach twisted—not with anger, but something far more dangerous. “You’re really going all in on this nice-guy act, huh?”

“It’s not an act,” he said quietly, pulling a chair from the empty desk beside you and sitting down. His green eyes locked onto yours, soft and unguarded. “I know I have a lot to make up for. But I want to.”

You rolled your eyes, though the heat creeping into your face betrayed you. “I’m starting to think you’re trying to bribe me with coffee.”

“Is it working?” he asked, his lips curling into a faint, boyish smile.

You couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped. “Maybe a little.”

He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. “I mean it, Y/N. I’m not doing this because I want you to forgive me overnight. I’m doing it because… I care. I’ve hurt you enough. The least I can do is try to make your life a little better now.”

The sincerity in his voice made your chest tighten. “You don’t owe me anything, Harry. I don’t need you to—”

“I do owe you,” he interrupted, his voice firm but gentle. “I owe you an apology for every word I ever said that made you doubt yourself. For every time I made you feel small. And I owe you a hell of a lot more than coffee and a new laptop to make up for it.”

The vulnerability in his words left you speechless. For the first time, you allowed yourself to see the man he’d become instead of the boy he used to be. And, God help you, that man was making it hard to stay angry.

“Harry…” you started, your voice faltering.

“What?” he asked softly, leaning in just enough that you could smell the faint hint of cedarwood cologne on him.

Your heart raced as you searched for something to say, but nothing came. Instead, you felt yourself drawn to the warmth in his gaze, the way his lips quirked up like he could read your mind and was waiting for you to catch up.

“Why are you being so sweet?” you whispered finally.

His smile widened, but it wasn’t smug—it was soft, disarming. “Because I want to be. Because I’ve spent too much time being an idiot, and I’m done with that. And because…” He hesitated, his eyes flicking to your lips for just a second before returning to your face. “Because you deserve it.”

The air between you shifted, charged with something electric. You hated how fast your pulse was racing, how the flutter in your stomach betrayed every ounce of resolve you’d built up.

“You’re trouble,” you muttered, shaking your head.

“Only the good kind,” he countered, his voice low.

And for the first time in years, you didn’t feel the weight of anger or resentment when you looked at him. Instead, you felt your heart start to crack open, just a little.

“Maybe,” you said softly, a small smile tugging at your lips. “But don’t push your luck.”

He grinned, leaning back slightly but keeping his gaze locked on yours. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

But the way his eyes lingered on you, warm and hopeful, told you this was far from over. And for once, you weren’t sure you wanted it to be.

Ganesh Shankar, CEO & Co-Founder of Responsive – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ganesh-shankar-ceo-co-founder-of-responsive-interview-series/

Ganesh Shankar, CEO & Co-Founder of Responsive – Interview Series

Ganesh Shankar, CEO and Co-Founder of Responsive, is an experienced product manager with a background in leading product development and software implementations for Fortune 500 enterprises. During his time in product management, he observed inefficiencies in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process—formal documents organizations use to solicit bids from vendors, often requiring extensive, detailed responses. Managing RFPs traditionally involves multiple stakeholders and repetitive tasks, making the process time-consuming and complex.

Founded in 2015 as RFPIO, Responsive was created to streamline RFP management through more efficient software solutions. The company introduced an automated approach to enhance collaboration, reduce manual effort, and improve efficiency. Over time, its technology expanded to support other complex information requests, including Requests for Information (RFIs), Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs), and security questionnaires.

Today, as Responsive, the company provides solutions for strategic response management, helping organizations accelerate growth, mitigate risk, and optimize their proposal and information request processes.

What inspired you to start Responsive, and how did you identify the gap in the market for response management software?

My co-founders and I founded Responsive in 2015 after facing our own struggles with the RFP response process at the software company we were working for at the time. Although not central to our job functions, we dedicated considerable time assisting the sales team with requests for proposals (RFPs), often feeling underappreciated despite our vital role in securing deals. Frustrated with the lack of technology to make the RFP process more efficient, we decided to build a better solution.  Fast forward nine years, and we’ve grown to nearly 500 employees, serve over 2,000 customers—including 25 Fortune 100 companies—and support nearly 400,000 users worldwide.

How did your background in product management and your previous roles influence the creation of Responsive?

As a product manager, I was constantly pulled by the Sales team into the RFP response process, spending almost a third of my time supporting sales instead of focusing on my core product management responsibilities. My two co-founders experienced a similar issue in their technology and implementation roles. We recognized this was a widespread problem with no existing technology solution, so we leveraged our almost 50 years of combined experience to create Responsive. We saw an opportunity to fundamentally transform how organizations share information, starting with managing and responding to complex proposal requests.

Responsive has evolved significantly since its founding in 2015. How do you maintain the balance between staying true to your original vision and adapting to market changes?

First, we’re meticulous about finding and nurturing talent that embodies our passion – essentially cloning our founding spirit across the organization. As we’ve scaled, it’s become critical to hire managers and team members who can authentically represent our core cultural values and commitment.

At the same time, we remain laser-focused on customer feedback. We document every piece of input, regardless of its size, recognizing that these insights create patterns that help us navigate product development, market positioning, and any uncertainty in the industry. Our approach isn’t about acting on every suggestion, but creating a comprehensive understanding of emerging trends across a variety of sources.

We also push ourselves to think beyond our immediate industry and to stay curious about adjacent spaces. Whether in healthcare, technology, or other sectors, we continually find inspiration for innovation. This outside-in perspective allows us to continually raise the bar, inspiring ideas from unexpected places and keeping our product dynamic and forward-thinking.

What metrics or success indicators are most important to you when evaluating the platform’s impact on customers?

When evaluating Responsive’s impact, our primary metric is how we drive customer revenue. We focus on two key success indicators: top-line revenue generation and operational efficiency. On the efficiency front, we aim to significantly reduce RFP response time – for many, we reduce it by 40%. This efficiency enables our customers to pursue more opportunities, ultimately accelerating their revenue generation potential.

How does Responsive leverage AI and machine learning to provide a competitive edge in the response management software market?

We leverage AI and machine learning to streamline response management in three key ways. First, our generative AI creates comprehensive proposal drafts in minutes, saving time and effort. Second, our Ask solution provides instant access to vetted organizational knowledge, enabling faster, more accurate responses. Third, our Profile Center helps InfoSec teams quickly find and manage security content.

With over $600 billion in proposals managed through the Responsive platform and four million Q&A pairs processed, our AI delivers intelligent recommendations and deep insights into response patterns. By automating complex tasks while keeping humans in control, we help organizations grow revenue, reduce risk, and respond more efficiently.

What differentiates Responsive’s platform from other solutions in the industry, particularly in terms of AI capabilities and integrations?

Since 2015, AI has been at the core of Responsive, powering a platform trusted by over 2,000 global customers. Our solution supports a wide range of RFx use cases, enabling seamless collaboration, workflow automation, content management, and project management across teams and stakeholders.

With key AI capabilities—like smart recommendations, an AI assistant, grammar checks, language translation, and built-in prompts—teams can deliver high-quality RFPs quickly and accurately.

Responsive also offers unmatched native integrations with leading apps, including CRM, cloud storage, productivity tools, and sales enablement. Our customer value programs include APMP-certified consultants, Responsive Academy courses, and a vibrant community of 1,500+ customers sharing insights and best practices.

Can you share insights into the development process behind Responsive’s core features, such as the AI recommendation engine and automated RFP responses?

Responsive AI is built on the foundation of accurate, up-to-date content, which is critical to the effectiveness of our AI recommendation engine and automated RFP responses. AI alone cannot resolve conflicting or incomplete data, so we’ve prioritized tools like hierarchical tags and robust content management to help users organize and maintain their information. By combining generative AI with this reliable data, our platform empowers teams to generate fast, high-quality responses while preserving credibility. AI serves as an assistive tool, with human oversight ensuring accuracy and authenticity, while features like the Ask product enable seamless access to trusted knowledge for tackling complex projects.

How have advancements in cloud computing and digitization influenced the way organizations approach RFPs and strategic response management?

Advancements in cloud computing have enabled greater efficiency, collaboration, and scalability. Cloud-based platforms allow teams to centralize content, streamline workflows, and collaborate in real time, regardless of location. This ensures faster turnaround times and more accurate, consistent responses.

Digitization has also enhanced how organizations manage and access their data, making it easier to leverage AI-powered tools like recommendation engines and automated responses. With these advancements, companies can focus more on strategy and personalization, responding to RFPs with greater speed and precision while driving better outcomes.

Responsive has been instrumental in helping companies like Microsoft and GEODIS streamline their RFP processes. Can you share a specific success story that highlights the impact of your platform?

Responsive has played a key role in supporting Microsoft’s sales staff by managing and curating 20,000 pieces of proposal content through its Proposal Resource Library, powered by Responsive AI. This technology enabled Microsoft’s proposal team to contribute $10.4 billion in revenue last fiscal year. Additionally, by implementing Responsive, Microsoft saved its sellers 93,000 hours—equivalent to over $17 million—that could be redirected toward fostering stronger customer relationships.

As another example of  Responsive providing measurable impact, our customer Netsmart significantly improved their response time and efficiency by implementing Responsive’s AI capabilities. They achieved a 10X faster response time, increased proposal submissions by 67%, and saw a 540% growth in user adoption. Key features such as AI Assistant, Requirements Analysis, and Auto Respond played crucial roles in these improvements. The integration with Salesforce and the establishment of a centralized Content Library further streamlined their processes, resulting in a 93% go-forward rate for RFPs and a 43% reduction in outdated content. Overall, Netsmart’s use of Responsive’s AI-driven platform led to substantial time savings, enhanced content accuracy, and increased productivity across their proposal management operations.

JAGGAER, another Responsive customer, achieved a double-digit win-rate increase and 15X ROI by using Responsive’s AI for content moderation, response creation, and Requirements Analysis, which improved decision-making and efficiency. User adoption tripled, and the platform streamlined collaboration and content management across multiple teams.

Where do you see the response management industry heading in the next five years, and how is Responsive positioned to lead in this space?

In the next five years, I see the response management industry being transformed by AI agents, with a focus on keeping humans in the loop. While we anticipate around 80 million jobs being replaced, we’ll simultaneously see 180 million new jobs created—a net positive for our industry.

Responsive is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. We’ve processed over $600 billion in proposals and built a database of almost 4 million Q&A pairs. Our massive dataset allows us to understand complex patterns and develop AI solutions that go beyond simple automation.

Our approach is to embrace AI’s potential, finding opportunities for positive outcomes rather than fearing disruption. Companies with robust market intelligence, comprehensive data, and proven usage will emerge as leaders, and Responsive is at the forefront of that wave. The key is not just implementing AI, but doing so strategically with rich, contextual data that enables meaningful insights and efficiency.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Responsive,

Lean vs. Waterfall Business Models: Choosing the Right Approach for Your Venture

When starting or scaling a business, one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is choosing the operational approach that aligns with your goals, resources, and industry demands. Two popular frameworks that often guide entrepreneurs are the Lean and Waterfall business models. Understanding their principles, advantages, and challenges can empower you to select the model that best suits your vision and market.

What is the Lean Business Model?

The Lean business model prioritizes efficiency, adaptability, and continuous improvement. It focuses on creating value for the customer while minimizing waste. Inspired by lean manufacturing principles, particularly those pioneered by Toyota, this model has become a cornerstone of modern startups and innovation-driven enterprises.

Key Principles of the Lean Model:

Validated Learning: Experimentation and customer feedback drive product and process development.

Build-Measure-Learn Cycle: Rapid prototyping allows for iterative improvements.

Customer-Centric Approach: Emphasis on understanding and addressing customer needs.

Waste Reduction: Eliminating activities and resources that don’t add value.

Advantages of Lean:

Cost Efficiency: By focusing on essential features and avoiding overproduction, businesses conserve resources.

Flexibility: Quick pivots are possible when market demands or customer preferences shift.

Speed to Market: Minimal Viable Products (MVPs) enable businesses to launch quickly and refine over time.

Challenges of Lean:

High Uncertainty: Iterative processes may result in unpredictability.

Resource Intensity: Constant feedback loops and adjustments require dedicated time and effort.

Scalability Issues: Lean is ideal for early-stage businesses but may need adaptation for large-scale operations.

What is the Waterfall Business Model?

The Waterfall business model, rooted in traditional project management, follows a linear and sequential approach. This model is structured around defined stages, where each phase must be completed before moving to the next. While it originated in industries like construction and software development, it’s also applicable to businesses requiring meticulous planning and execution.

Key Principles of the Waterfall Model:

Sequential Progression: Projects move from concept to completion in defined steps.

Detailed Documentation: Comprehensive plans, budgets, and timelines are created upfront.

Defined Deliverables: Clear milestones ensure all tasks are completed in order.

Stability: A fixed plan minimizes changes during the process.

Advantages of Waterfall:

Predictability: Clear timelines and budgets enhance planning and stakeholder confidence.

Quality Assurance: Extensive documentation ensures thorough testing and evaluation.

Ease of Implementation: Ideal for projects with well-defined requirements.

Challenges of Waterfall:

Rigidity: Limited flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions.

Delayed Feedback: Customer input often comes late, increasing the risk of misalignment.

Time-Intensive: Sequential phases may lead to longer development cycles.

How to Choose Between Lean and Waterfall

The choice between Lean and Waterfall depends on your business’s nature, goals, and industry.

Lean is Ideal For:

Startups and innovative ventures with evolving market demands.

Projects where customer feedback is essential.

Teams prioritizing speed and adaptability.

Waterfall is Ideal For:

Established businesses with fixed goals and budgets.

Industries like construction, healthcare, or manufacturing, where precision is critical.

Long-term projects requiring robust planning.

Conclusion

Both the Lean and Waterfall business models offer unique advantages and come with their own set of challenges. While the Lean model fosters innovation and flexibility, the Waterfall approach ensures stability and predictability. Entrepreneurs should carefully evaluate their project’s scope, resources, and objectives before committing to a framework. By aligning your operational strategy with your business’s needs, you set the stage for sustainable growth and success.

In today’s fast-paced and increasingly competitive market, businesses are expected to operate with maximum efficiency while managing an ever-growing volume of data, processes, and customer demands. For organizations looking to streamline operations and make data-driven decisions, custom ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software has become more than just a strategic tool — it’s a necessity.

Custom ERP software development allows companies to build systems that align precisely with their unique workflows, business models, and industry-specific requirements. Unlike off-the-shelf ERP solutions that offer a one-size-fits-all approach, custom ERP development is tailored from the ground up, helping businesses scale effectively while maintaining flexibility and control.

Why Custom ERP Solutions Are Gaining Momentum

Out-of-the-box ERP systems may offer speed of implementation, but they often fall short when it comes to flexibility and full alignment with business goals. That’s where custom ERP solutions shine. They provide an adaptive framework designed around how a business actually operates.

With a custom ERP platform, businesses can:

Automate and integrate core business processes like finance, HR, sales, inventory, and customer relationship management.

Eliminate data silos and redundant systems.

Gain real-time insights into performance through personalized dashboards and analytics.

Enhance data security with role-based access and tailored compliance protocols.

Whether you're in manufacturing, retail, logistics, or services, having an ERP system that's molded to your specific operations can dramatically improve decision-making and reduce operational bottlenecks.

The Role of Custom ERP in Digital Transformation

Digital transformation isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the key to future-proofing a business. Implementing a custom ERP system is a major milestone in that journey. When thoughtfully planned and developed, a tailored ERP solution enables automation at scale, reduces human error, and brings every department onto the same digital page.

Furthermore, a custom ERP integrates easily with existing third-party applications, cloud infrastructure, and APIs, allowing businesses to leverage their existing technology stack rather than start from scratch.

This is where choosing the right ERP Development Company makes all the difference. A skilled partner will not only build the solution but also guide the business through strategic planning, change management, data migration, user training, and long-term maintenance.

Choosing the Right ERP Development Company

Finding the right development partner is just as crucial as the software itself. The best ERP development companies don't just write code—they understand your industry challenges, anticipate future requirements, and design solutions that grow with your business.

Here’s what to look for:

Experience Across Domains: Choose a company with a proven portfolio across multiple industries. This ensures they bring cross-functional knowledge to the table.

Scalability and Flexibility: Your ERP system should be future-ready. Make sure the company offers scalable architecture and modular development.

Agile Methodology: Development should be iterative, with ongoing feedback loops, to ensure the final product aligns with real-time business needs.

Post-Deployment Support: Ensure long-term support, updates, and training are part of the package, not an afterthought.

A reliable ERP Development Company will always involve you in the planning phase, map out your internal processes in detail, and translate that into a powerful software infrastructure that reflects your business DNA.

Features of a Robust Custom ERP System

Here are the key modules that most successful businesses integrate into their ERP systems:

Finance and Accounting: Automated billing, invoicing, and financial reporting.

Inventory Management: Real-time stock tracking, demand forecasting, and warehouse integration.

Sales & CRM: Customer segmentation, lead tracking, and personalized sales pipelines.

Human Resources: Recruitment workflows, payroll, and performance management.

Project Management: Task tracking, team collaboration, and resource allocation.

Depending on your industry, you may also require custom modules like production planning, quality control, compliance, or field service management.

A professional ERP Development Company can assess these requirements and suggest the most cost-effective and scalable implementation path.

Business Benefits You Can Expect

A custom-built ERP system is an investment that pays off in multiple ways:

Increased Productivity: By automating repetitive tasks and integrating data sources, employees can focus on strategic work rather than manual entry.

Enhanced Accuracy: Fewer errors mean better business intelligence and less rework.

Real-Time Reporting: Empower managers with real-time dashboards that highlight KPIs and operational bottlenecks.

Customer Satisfaction: With improved workflows and better service delivery, your end users enjoy a seamless experience.

All these benefits converge into one major outcome: growth. With the right ERP infrastructure in place, businesses can expand their offerings, scale geographically, and respond faster to market changes.

Final Thoughts

Custom ERP software is no longer a luxury reserved for large enterprises. With the evolution of technology and the rise of specialized ERP development partners, even mid-sized and growing businesses can reap the benefits of tailored digital systems.

Choosing the right partner is key. A trusted ERP development company will work closely with you to understand your business, streamline your operations, and set the foundation for long-term digital success.
