Whiteboard

What makes a leader visionary? How is visionary-ness developed, and what does it look like in practice? Taylor Jones joined Justin Wheeler on the Nonstop Nonprofit Podcast (powered by Funraise) to discuss how anyone can develop their capacity for visionary leadership through practice and intentionality. https://lnkd.in/eqYZf7DF

At Whiteboard, we help purpose-driven organizations leverage the Internet for good. The organizations that shape the future will be the ones that are the most natively digital. Whether we’re helping you create and launch an innovative app or website, build a digitally focused brand, develop and execute a broad digital marketing strategy, or explore the technological frontiers of artificial intelligence and beyond, we work closely with our clients and become a core part of your team because the future of our society is digital. We believe technology can be a force for good, rather than a source of darkness, noise, and distraction. Our goal is to help you create digital environments for your audiences that feel more human, not less human. We serve our clients in three ways: 1. We consult. 2. We create. 3. We teach & facilitate. Whether we’re helping you get your product in the hands of more customers, find and engage new audiences, or think with greater imagination, we’re in it with you to win it.

TED Conferences bring together a group of industry leaders and impactful people for unique, multi-day experiences dedicated to TED’s global mission of sharing meaningful new ideas. In the quickly-evolving and inspiring conference industry, TED Conferences found themselves needing a website that made it easy to add events and update details without a heavy development effort each time while reflecting their creativity and innovation for each unique event. To ensure that there was enough flexibility in the system for each unique event brand, we created components that allow the TED team to upload brand elements, including animated illustrations, to each conference page. WHAT WE DID By the time of launch, the TED Conference team had a website that was easy to update with conference-unique assets and the Whiteboard team had a blast problem-solving a solution that would empower their team and give their conferences a visually-compelling digital home with a 20% conversion rate.

AGENT: "A person who WORKS on behalf of SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE." Whiteboard was founded as an agency because our mission—to empower visionaries to lead meaningful brands—is fundamentally an orientation of agency. And through that work with more than 400 clients over the past decade, we’ve uncovered a simple rubric to ensure we leverage our agency capacity to build a Brighter Future. We’ve learned that in order to be effective agents, we must hold two tensions in perfect balance: Self vs. Others & Mastery vs. Mission And we’ve discovered that if you plot these two spectrums on a simple two-by-two, some interesting insights surface. At the extremes of these two tensions are the cornerstones of true agency: ambition, advocacy, purpose, and expertise. Self (Ambition) vs. Others (Advocacy) While agency is ultimately the work of advancing others, we cannot effectively do that, especially for more than short bursts of time, without tending to our own human needs as part of the work. We must remain physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy in order to meaningfully advance others. Simply put, you must put your oxygen mask on before helping your fellow passenger, but you don’t take the whole oxygen bottle for yourself. But if we over-focus on our own self-health without engaging others, our capacity for empathy diminishes, and we become alienated from those we have a responsibility to advance. Mastery (Expertise) vs. Mission (Purpose) To be effective agents, we must willfully submit to the mission of those we seek to advance (and in turn, we must take the time to define and understand that mission). But without a level of mastery of one or more skills, it is impossible to contribute to the advancement of any mission. Conversely, if our focus is too heavily weighted on developing our own mastery, we lose touch with the mission of others and may end up with powerful talents that are irrelevant to advancing others within our purview. True Agency can only manifest when purpose, advocacy, expertise, and ambition are held in perfect balance. If we fail to hold these tensions in balance, we can end up in what we believe are the Four Temptations of True Agency, found in the four extreme corners of the True Agency Axis: - Ineffectiveness - Burnout - Isolation - Vanity We cannot build a Brighter Future without a healthy understanding of the individual and collective aspects of our agency. We believe that by using the True Agency Axis as our lens, we can keep ourselves and our company centered and more rapidly advance a Brighter Future… without leaving a wake of cultural debt that those after us will have to pay back.

During a season of growth, they approached Whiteboard with a need to reposition their brand to differentiate from a crowded, noisy marketplace - and scale their marketing efforts to further grow their business. They were focused on building a customer-centric platform experience, and willing to take bold steps to stand out. We led a research effort, including qualitative & quantitative research across their market landscape, and then worked with their team to develop a new brand position, actualized with strategically driven messaging and a fresh visual identity.
