Build the Workforce Behind the AI-Native Telco.
5G, cloud, AI, Open RAN, edge and autonomous network operations change what telco work is — while legacy expertise and safety-critical field work remain the backbone. DISHA prepares people and operating models with evidence-first workforce intelligence.
“The quiet towers on the hills carry everyone's Tuesday.”
How do we prepare people and operating models for 5G, cloud, AI, Open RAN, edge and autonomous network operations?

Tangible Business Outcomes & Measurement
Every outcome is a measured KPI with a baseline, intervention, measurement period, data source, owner and target. Illustrative figures below are placeholders for YOUR data.
| KPI | Baseline → Target (illustrative) | Period · Source · Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Next-gen network role readiness | 29% → 62% (illustrative) | Per wave · Genome + planning · Owner: CTO+CHRO |
| Legacy-to-cloud transition completion | 38% → 66% (illustrative) | Rolling year · LMS + Genome · Owner: CHRO |
| Critical security skill coverage | 2.0 → 3.5 deep (illustrative) | Quarterly · Genome · Owner: CISO |
| AI-adoption readiness (ops & service) | 41% → 74% (illustrative) | Quarterly · Readiness · Owner: CIO |
Illustrative scenario shown in the product demo — real figures come from your connected, validated data with published measurement definitions.
THE HUMAN LAYER
Tower Work Is Expert Work
Climbers, splicers and network engineers carry safety-critical, hard-won capability. Workforce intelligence keeps that capability certified, transferable and growing — and never converts people into utilization scores.
