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!

Once you have clarity on the kind of culture you want to reinforce, engrain it into your day-to-day operations. If it isn't already, hang it prominently in your office. Make sure your team is exposed to it every single day! What do you do to reinforce your Company's beliefs? #wantto #doto #bestday #makesure #operation #officedecor #businesspassion #hang #exposed

🎤 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

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

A few months ago, I found myself in Japan, navigating a new culture and preparing to bring Yayem's vision to life in Asia. Fast forward to now, and we’ve just wrapped up The Osaka Weekend XP—an event that brought together 20 founders, investors, and nomads from across the world, right here in Osaka. This wasn’t just another business event—it was a deep dive into the future of work, community, and culture. With the support of FUTRWORKS and Hankyu Corporation, we positioned Osaka as a rising hub for digital nomads and entrepreneurs. From inspiring talks to local experiences, this weekend embodied what Yayem is about: bringing extraordinary people together in meaningful ways. The balance between local immersion and networking made it special. We didn’t just talk business—we explored markets, took part in tea ceremonies, and enjoyed Osaka’s hidden gems. On a personal note, this experience has been a milestone for me. Organizing a major event in Japan came with challenges—from learning cultural nuances to navigating a different business environment. At times, I felt like a toddler learning to walk. But with the support of my colleagues and the trust of Lindsey Elkin, I embraced it. The challenges—language barriers, local customs, time zones—only pushed me to grow stronger. From managing logistics to being an MC, I wore many hats and watching it come together was so fulfilling. Doing this in Japan, a country I’ve come to love, made it even more meaningful. Thank you to FUTRWORKS, Chikako Tsuda, her team, the speakers, participants, and, of course, Lindsey for believing in me. This is just the beginning. As Yayem grows, we’ll expand across Asia, deepen our roots in Japan, and create more incredible experiences for our global community. #DigitalNomads #Osaka #GlobalCommunity #EventManagement #CulturalExchange #Yayem #RemoteWorkRevolution #ProfessionalGrowth #Leadership

How do you create culture? 🤔 A subject that is spoken about often on The Konkering Pod - especially by Tom! We've spoken about many different theories on culture, talking about case studies from Airbnb, Steven Bartlett and of course our examples at Konker ! Tom Stewart feels like he's come up with the answer... Konker Konker Media #Recruitment #Marketing #Branding #Growth #Business

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:))
