What must we let go of to truly transform production? 👋 In a recent workshop with the Serviceplan Group MAKE leadership team, Alexander Nagel asked me: What must we let go of to truly transform production? This question struck a chord because it challenges us to rethink where transformation really begins. For me, transformation starts with presence and vulnerability - qualities no tool or technology can solve. They build the trust, transparency, and connection we need to rethink how we collaborate, from the first client briefing to final delivery. Technology will support us, but it must follow - not lead. The cracks in traditional systems become most visible in production - tighter budgets, shorter timelines, and growing complexity expose the limits of rigid hierarchies, centralized decision-making, and the illusion of control. These challenges can’t be solved by tools or production-only fixes. Not even by creators. 😄 They demand a holistic shift toward human-first systems built on adaptability, shared accountability, and expertise-based co-creation. Letting go means releasing outdated paradigms: the need for pre-defined answers, the idea that anyone can "know it all," and hierarchies that stifle collaboration. Instead, we have the opportunity to embrace: 👉 #Transparency, so everyone is informed and empowered to make decisions. 👉 #Shared #accountability, acknowledging strengths and true ownership of tasks. 👉 #Cocreation, bringing in the right expertise, whether AI, Culture, Gaming, or beyond. 👉 #Vulnerability and #presence, fostering trust and connection for real transformation Yes, tighter budgets and timelines are challenging, but they’re also opportunities to start with people first - to design systems that foster presence, connection, and innovation. What will you let go of to move forward? Slide into my DMs—I’d love to exchange ideas! 🤝 Ps. At fount.space we help redesign and implement new ways of working that bring clients and agencies together, fostering collaboration and adaptability. We combine these with digital-first production setups to create systems that truly work for today’s complex, fast-paced digital world.
