Why Translation Companies Sign Up for the Upswing Program.
The Upswing Program is a series of custom workshops for leadership teams of growth-minded translation companies. Held either remotely or on-site at the company’s location, the Upswing Program is one of Nimdzi’s most requested consulting engagements because it empowers growth-minded language service providers to invest in their own success. Nimdzi’s diverse team of international business experts is made up of consultants who have a deep understanding of language services and the language services industry. During the workshops, Nimdzi’s think tank meets the think tank of your translation company to look at operations and to draft the milestones to your unique roadmap.
The customized set of workshops look at:
- Corporate Strategy
- Sales and Marketing
- Vendor Management
- Technology
- Processes and Workflows
Growth and Accountability

Who is the Upswing Program for?
The Upswing Program is for language service providers (translation companies) who are ready to take the next step in the maturity of their business and invest in growth. If you’re in a leadership role at a translation company and asking yourself the following question, the program is for you:
- I need to rethink my growth strategy but am busy, where do I start?
- How do I expand my business?
- What are my competitors doing?
What is included in the Upswing Program?
The Upswing Program is typically a three-month exercise which consists of workshops (onsite or remote) held by Nimdzi experts. The number of days and the length of the workshops may vary. The workshops are customized for leadership teams of translation companies. The agenda of each engagement is customized specifically for the participating company to address their unique challenges. Upswing Program participants benefit from the custom approach. Below is an account from a recent participant.
Frederick Marx, Founder and CEO of Keylingo
“There’s no specific agenda for the Upswing Program – that made me a little nervous at the beginning. But I’ve given up on my expectations and decided to let Renato be Renato. Afterall, I didn’t pay a consultant to tell them what to do, but rather for them to tell me what to do. In the end, it was like “therapy” where the client is being led by the therapist and the magic happens when there’s a spontaneous flow.”
Participants of the Upswing Program walk away with a playbook with action items to achieve their objectives.
Is the Upswing Program remote?
The original Upswing Program is an in-person set of workshops, but these days, remote options are also available.
Why Nimdzi Insights?
Few companies hold the kind of expertise that fuels the think tank at Nimdzi. In fact, the Upswing Program predates Nimdzi itself. Years before the birth of Nimdzi, co-founder Renato Beninatto was leading a version of the Upswing Program, also known as the 3x3x3: three sessions for three days over three months. Over the years, we’ve watched our clients re-think their business and reap the benefits of their investment.
