Our COO likes to use the sausage analogy about strategizing. “Creating a strategy is like making a sausage — it's very messy, but once it's finished, it's fantastic.” 7 people. 3 days. About 100 sticky notes. One room. Sausage made – strategy for next year worked out 🚀 2025, here we come 😎 Thanks, Vytautas Paukstys, Eskimi, Gareth Shaw, Philip Mahler, Lina Kuklyte, Antanas Kaziliūnas, Marcel Sandoval, and Paul Thompson, for a slightly messy but fantastic week in Vilnius!

🎤 When a pitch takes an unexpected turn... Imagine this: you’ve prepared a pitch down to the last detail, practiced your timing, and even shared a sneak peek with the MC before going on stage. You’re feeling ready. But then, just as you’re being introduced, the MC enthusiastically reveals every key point you had planned to say! 😳 What do you do? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me recently. My well-prepared pitch suddenly had no surprises left, so I had to think fast and improvise. Instead of sticking to the script, I shared how we’ve achieved 200 million journeys, the unique challenges of adapting a product globally while keeping it seamless for users, and a glimpse into our exciting work in Denmark—where we’re not just a side channel but are gearing up to take on a much bigger role. Was it my best pitch ever? No. Did I walk away with valuable lessons and a room full of smiles? Absolutely. Sometimes, the best moments come from the unplanned ones. 👉 Have you ever had a moment like this—where you had to throw your plans out the window and adapt on the fly? I’d love to hear how you handled it! #Adaptability #LessonsLearned #Pitching #Improvisation

The Secret to Lasting Success: Lessons from the World's Oldest Company Did you know that Kongo Gumi, the world's oldest known company, was founded in 578 AD? That's over 1,400 years of continuous operation! Kongo Gumi started as a family-run construction business in Japan, specializing in building temples. For centuries, it adapted to changing times, navigating wars, economic shifts, and even the modernization of the construction industry. The company remained a pillar of stability and craftsmanship, passing down its knowledge and values through generations. So, what can modern businesses learn from Kongo Gumi's incredible longevity? Here are three key takeaways: ✔︎ Adaptability is Key: The world and your business are changing. Continuously evolving to meet new demands and challenges is crucial for staying relevant. ✔︎ Strong Relationships Matter: Building and maintaining solid relationships with clients, partners, and employees can sustain your business through tough times. ✔︎ Preserve Your Core Values: While adaptability is essential, holding onto the core values and mission that define your business creates a lasting identity. Let's take a page from Kongo Gumi's playbook and focus on the long game. Your business could be the next to stand the test of time! #BusinessSuccess #Longevity #Adaptability #BusinessGrowth Image created by DALL-E

We just got back to Hong Kong from a few days of designing and prototyping pilot workshops with a client in Singapore. It was a great success … even with the dubious looks from some of the early play testers of our first prototypes. I guess what really helped, was reinforcing with the participants that they had been selected as Prototyping Pioneers, and they were helping us to create a meaningful regional rollout of their company’s values. Of course, there will always be a little cynicism around the rollout of company values, especially if you don’t connect them to WHY they’re important to the individuals and not just to the company, and HOW they’re going to make a tangible difference to their Way of Working. So early on we called out the elephant in the room … potential for comedic failure if we don’t make these values real, personal, actionable, measurable … and fun. So, after talking about the elephant, and laughing about it together, the process was easier. We brought out all the doubts, managed expectations and were very very real about what’s possible if we succeeded, and also what might happen if we don’t. The big thing that made a difference though, was being playful, experimental and super iterative in our approach. That’s why it wasn’t one pilot, but three sessions over 2 days, testing different modules but applying the feedback and learning from each session to the next one. By the end, we were 90% there, and ready for a regional rollout. Remember though, it takes courage both from the client and the external provider that is designing with them. We also embraced that wonderful design principle, “be willing to build the aeroplane as you fly it”, making adjustments on the go. So yes, elephants can fly too :-) James Bishop (He/Him) Carol Lin Gina Ke #IterativeDesign #UserExperience #WorkshopSuccess #ValuesDrivenDesign #BuildingAsWeFly #ElephantInTheRoom #CorporateInnovation

You have to use the processes you create before giving up on them! I was working with a VP recently after they had created several processes to help them with overload. The previous work had resulted in some team promotions and they were more engaged about their work. During some early coaching conversations, we had addressed their calendar, focused on delegation, and helped them align work to their strengths, but now we were back at square 1. "I give up!" they said in exasperation a few minutes into the call. What happened? I like my robot vacuum. I do. They make things easy and I don't have to think about vacuuming, it just happens. Sorta. You see, my issue is that I didn't use automated schedules. I felt I needed to pick things up, and make it so it doesn't roll over cords or shoes or whatever else may not be in its proper home. Because of my reluctance to schedule the vacuuming, it often got to a point where I would do it manually myself. The issue wasn't the robot vacuum, it was me. And that's why my client was back at square one. After a few months of working, they slowly returned to doing the work themselves instead of handing it off. The "It's too important" or "I'll have to fix it anyway" habit had come back. They were filling their schedule again with meetings they didn't need to be at but hit accept because it was easier than figuring out if they needed to be there. And they were back to doing work that didn't align with their strengths because it was easier for them to "just get it done" instead of teaching someone else to do it and who would love the work. It's easy to say the new process isn't working, but more often than not, it's us who is getting in the way. For my client, they're taking steps to go back to what was working. For me, I'm happy to say, I got a smarter robot vacuum and it's now on a schedule to clean. I'm much happier and my house is cleaner.

Your team already has great ideas, but how do you get them flowing more freely?🧐 Creating an innovative culture starts with allowing people the space and mindset to think differently 🧠 Here’s a few ways, we at Vnture, spark that creativity: 1️⃣ Breakthrough Brainstorming: Brainstorming sessions where no idea is too crazy. Have your team pitch ideas that break from conventional thinking— The conversation being had is more important than the ideas suggested - as you never know what may trigger the spark! 2️⃣ Reverse Problem-Solving: Flip the script by having teams solve problems backwards. Instead of asking how to achieve a goal, we ask what would guarantee failure. From there, work towards solutions. 3️⃣ Mini-Sprints: Have your team bring their ideas to life on a small scale! Through actual execution, getting started on an idea, rather than just talking about it, is a surefire way to find out whether something works or not... Momentum + Execution = Progress 🚨Below I've attached a downloadable Reverse Problem-Solving Worksheet to help guide your team's creative thinking process! 📎📝 https://lnkd.in/gZ9M2wyd

#OrganizationalOrigami - ever heard of them? Picture this: two groups, two equal sets of folding instructions, and the same goal—create an origami figure out of it. Simple enough, right? Group 1 was lucky. They sat together, shared all the steps, could actually talk to each other, and collaborate. Naturally, they whipped up their masterpiece in about 9 minutes. Group 2? Well, their situation was... different. Each person had 2-3 folding tasks, but no one had the full picture. They could only work on their step one at a time and, to make things more "fun," only two people could work together at once. What was supposed to take minutes turned into a 20+ minute saga of isolated folding chaos. Not just chaos — it came with a bonus round of finger-pointing: "I’m pretty sure someone before me messed up!" Now, I’ll let you guess which group created which 'frog.' 🐸 (red / blue) 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲? 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 > 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬. Every. Single. Time.

3w..love the pics. Doodling in the meetings might look distractive, but to me it helps listen better, constrain the urge to jump in with my opinion too early:))
