What would you do if you have a misalignment of VISION with any of your stakeholders? (Employees, partners, investors, vendors) 🛑
Go back to square one!
I lay super high importance on alignment of vision. If that is set, the PROCESS to achieve that can be flexible/customized!!
A constant effort is needed to keep everyone on the same page though. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon!

The reality behind our internal hackathons and why I use this approach with my team.
Key benefits.
Fosters Innovation - It provides us with a setting to think outside the box and experiment with new ideas, leading to real-time innovations.
Team Collaboration - It allows you to work with that colleague that you are often not able to, as each of you belong to different departments. While, it brings together a variety of skill sets, promoting cross-functional collaboration.
Builds a Culture of Innovation - Regular hackathons contribute to the company’s culture for continuous improvement and innovation. They signal to employees that we value creativity and we are committed to staying ahead of the curve.
Rapid Prototyping - The fast-paced nature of hackathons encourages rapid prototyping and iteration. This can speed up the development process and bring new ideas to market faster.
Hackathons break the monotony of daily work and inject a sense of excitement and competition, motivating employees to push their boundaries and think creatively. That's why they've been a game-changer for us, it's a simple way to boost innovation, collaboration, and speed.
And...
Enjoying those afterwork activities it’s always nice.

🚀 Halfway to Launching “Collaboard”! 🚀
As we push forward with our collaborative drawing and video calling platform, here are some reflections on our journey so far:
1. Persistent Bugs: Some bugs are persistent, often keeping us up at night, but we tackle them with determination.
2. Modularity Challenges: While our focus on modularity is often rewarding, we’ve learned that not everything needs to be modular. It’s a delicate balance.
3. Strong Teamwork: We’re fortunate to have a cohesive team where communication flows smoothly, making collaboration seamless.
4. Implementation Hurdles: We sometimes hit bumps after discussing a seemingly great approach, leading us to rethink and reimplement. It’s all part of the process.
5. Shared Motivation: Our motivation remains high because we keep each other excited and focused on the bigger picture.
6. Small Wins: Adding small features consistently has kept us energized, often leading to long hours of passionate work without realizing the time.
We’re thrilled to share more about “Collaboard” with you, but we realise it may take a bit more time to reach the finish line.
Proud of our team:
