Impact at a Glance
The Challenge
Managing a Rapidly Growing Community Without the Right Infrastructure
When Fractional People People (FPP) first launched, it started with just seven HR practitioners. Within months, it expanded globally, attracting over 1,400 members before transitioning to a paid model.
But with growth came complexity:
- Member applications, event registration, and communications were all handled across disconnected systems
- Access to resources and recordings was scattered
- Manual onboarding and tracking processes consumed valuable time
- Managing membership data, events, and community engagement required significant coordination efforts
As a solo operator, Elles knew the setup was not sustainable—and scaling further would require operational reinvention.
“I realized if anything went wrong with one system, I had no reliable way to communicate with my members or manage the experience.”
The Disco Solution
A Unified Operating System for Community and Learning
Disco provided FPP with the single platform needed to consolidate operations, automate member workflows, and deliver a seamless experience. With Disco, FPP was able to:
- Centralize member onboarding, payments, events, and resource libraries
- Automate event workflows, announcements, and ticketing for conferences
- Provide members with direct access to event recordings, transcripts, and curriculum content
- Build structured pathways for learning, networking, and ongoing engagement
- Maintain flexible communication channels for direct and targeted updates
“With Disco, everything members need—resources, events, replays, updates—is in one place. It’s the one-stop shop our community needed.”
Operational Impact
The Strategic Shift: Scaling With Simplicity and Sustainability
By migrating to Disco, FPP achieved the operational leverage needed to sustain and scale a premium community experience—without increasing team size or administrative overhead.
Today, FPP delivers a polished, professional member journey with fewer manual tasks, better visibility into engagement, and faster iteration on programs and events.
“It looks and feels like a professional learning platform—and it’s still just me behind the scenes.”
Looking Ahead: Building Smarter, More Connected Learning Communities
With Disco’s AI-powered tools, curriculum generation capabilities, and automated workflows, Fractional People People is poised to continue scaling without compromising the personal, high-quality experience its members expect.
FPP’s next chapter is about expanding learning pathways, deepening engagement, and empowering HR practitioners around the world to connect, grow, and thrive.
