Relaunching Forge: A deeper dive 👨🚀 Nested within our mission of exploring and inspiring greatness is the idea that great teams and individuals don’t just talk about greatness, they identify the few keys to success and pursue those relentlessly. Once they arrive at their destination, they identify new keys to unlock success in their game, and rinse & repeat. Given this, we knew to achieve our mission, we needed to bring something new into the world. A revolutionary approach to simulations and a platform that enables you to do 3 key things: 🔐 Unlock the hidden potential & greatness in your unstructured and underutilized data. ⚡ Put more of the power of designing customized simulation experiences into the hands of learning and enablement teams, with the right support mechanisms to ensure success.  🏆 Equip everyone in the organization to regularly chase greatness, in a contextualized, immersive, and affordable way. These facets are driven by our beliefs about what’s not working in the learning and enablement worlds today. We believe that organizational leaders can see the challenges ahead clearly, but then struggle to get their people aligned and upskilled fast enough. 🌟 We are building data-driven tools that can help identify those challenges and allow learning and enablement to turn around solutions in days or weeks, rather than months We believe learning and enablement teams often don’t have the best tools and processes to support their businesses and so rely heavily on vendors who get paid to capture knowledge and expertise. 🌟 We’ve built a consumer-grade simulation platform focused on guided modularity, easy customization and speed of launch, so learning and enablement folks can build, facilitate and update experiences themselves if they want to. We believe that humans learn, shift their beliefs and build skills best by practicing in realistic environments–namely in simulations. Unfortunately today, simulation experiences are expensive to build or far too generic to drive meaningful impact and often once a year opportunities to practice. 🌟 We aim to make simulations ubiquitous and available on-demand by making them faster and easier to build, update and scale widely. These beliefs, our background in simulations and experience leading SaaS organizations are the driving force behind the Forge simulation platform - aimed at revolutionizing how learning and enablement teams work, how learners learn and ultimately, how organizations grow and succeed.  Our aim is to help you be ready, and we’re only getting started ✈ ✈ ✈ Forge Strategy Partners #leadershipdevelopment #salesenablement #talentdevelopment #startup #leadership #enablement

Relaunching Forge 🚀 A little over one year ago, Forge Strategy Partners officially launched with our initial mission of “helping humans flourish in a complex world”. We believe that we helped our clients do just that in our early engagements around AI strategy. And in every engagement, we found ourselves learning and making tweaks to our mission. Over time, there’d been so many “tweaks” that little remained of the original mission. There’d been just as many changes to our operations and the types of work we were doing. So we’ve decided to relaunch Forge and adopt a new mission: Explore and Inspire Greatness. For us, it’s more than a tagline. It’s what we think drives innovation, grows human capability, and it’s steeped in all aspects of how we work as a team. 🕵♂️ What Explore Greatness means to us We're obsessed with unlocking human potential. The pursuit of greatness is a relentless quest that drives us to deconstruct the DNA of exceptional individuals and organizations. The truth is, most of us lack the blueprint to achieve greatness. We're held back by a lack of knowledge, skills, and motivation. So we're on a mission to crack the code of greatness. By merging data analytics with human intuition, we uncover the hidden patterns and cultural codes that ignite success. Our goal is to empower teams to achieve the extraordinary, and make the relentless quest for greatness a reality. 🎇 What Inspire Greatness means to us We believe that people want to be great. Don’t you? But too often, we don’t have the knowledge, skills and motivation to chase greatness. The typical ways corporations drive change and skill development don’t work. A townhall and a Powerpoint have never changed what we or anyone we’ve ever known does everyday. So we craft rituals, memes and experiences to ignite and sustain the daily pursuit of greatness. With our clients, we turn vision into reality, create game-changing experiences that drive change and align teams around a shared mission. What’s next We’re going to relentlessly pursue this mission and share more about WHAT this looks like in the next few days. Before we do that we want to thank everyone who has generously given their time and advice along the way. We want to thank our clients for placing your trust in us. Without a community of friends and co-conspirators, there would be no Forge to relaunch. For the next year and beyond, we’re going to continue to learn and grow with our clients and users as we explore and inspire greatness together. And we’re going to have a whole hell of a lot of fun doing it. Stay tuned for more and check out our new website linked in the comments in the meantime. #startups #strategy #leadershipdevelopment #salesenablement

Forge Strategy Partners offsites aren’t just all Champagne and Caviar, those thing just happened to be necessary evils in our study 📑 of one of history’s most prolific figures – Napoleon Bonaparte. As part of our journey, the Forge team embarked on a journey to Waterloo, Belgium, to explore the historic battlefield where Napoleon met his ultimate defeat. As we walked the fields, we drew parallels between Napoleon's rise and fall and the challenges businesses face today. Through our exploration 🔎, we landed on three key takeaways from Waterloo that we feel apply to Forge and all businesses / teams: - Innovate continuously, or risk becoming complacent like Napoleon (many companies are lodged in a comfortable and un-innovative trap) - Identify and exploit your unique strengths, or "edges," to achieve continued competitive differentiation and exponential growth - Inspire your team and stakeholders to achieve the impossible, just as Napoleon did with his troops These lessons from Waterloo serve as a powerful reminder to us and for businesses & leaders to stay adaptable, innovative, and focused on unique strengths / edges.

If there's couple things to know about the Forge Strategy Partners team; it's that we love learning 🧠 about new industries and translating them to our day-to-day world. And we love drinking good Champagne 🥂. We recently combined these pursuits during an offsite in Champagne. Here are some of our Key Takeaways from the experience: 1. The industry is comprised of both small artisan growers and the mega houses we all know - truly a David and Goliath story 2. The two different houses take drastically different approaches to winemaking, commercial operations and experience curation 3. The underlying truth is that it’s really David and Goliath versus the World 🌍 - the two types of producers are actually interdependent and have crafted complementary strategies that accelerate the success of both. 4. Combining exploring new industries 🏭 and wine is definitely something we have to do more often Read more at the link in the comments for an in-depth look at how the Champagne industry works and what it means for those of us in product and experience businesses. Would love to hear what you found most interesting about our observations, and more importantly, what your favorite champagne is! #leadership #strategy #offsite

Outside of niche historical references, we appreciate that we are in the business of creating high-impact experiences for our clients and like to challenge our team with out of the box ideas every so often. Expect to see more of this from us in 2024!
