ISPO’s Post

If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived as they say… First of all I’d like to use this opportunity to say thank you, Recently Jiasheng Jiang, Sebastian Aguilar Velasco and I were invited to compete and represent The Manchester Metropolitan University in the Cesim Elite European Qualifier of 2024 ⚔️ A global competition where students pioneer a virtual business in the FMCG market 🚀 While success may not come easily, the not so impractical cliché still stands, and here are the important lessons I’ve learned: ♟️Strategic decision making - Every decision is a calculated step towards achieving an end goal, define this goal and know what your aiming for. Don’t get lost on the way… ⏳Patience - Chasing ‘ideal’ results may prove ineffective in the long run, instead stay consistent and yield organic growth. 📈Small wins - While we didn’t win the tournament, we did have the largest market share compared to other teams and were only unsuccessful as a result of large R&D investments. Thanks to Ashley McCoy and Cesim Business Simulations for allowing us to compete in an Association of MBAs partnered programme and good luck to those still competing 👏 https://lnkd.in/eY6pFiH9

Sunday saw the close of Asia's leading multi-segment sports exhibition. ISPO Beijing took place from January 12 to 14 at the China National Convention Center (CNCN) in Beijing. From B2B trade shows to conferences and sports events for all, ISPO  organises a wide range of different events throughout the year. Worldwide with a solitary goal: to accelerate the global evolution of sports. Through the interpretation of industrial development plans, the prediction of market structure changes, the comparison of brands and products in China and overseas, and the analysis of global sports goods consumers, ISPO Beijing provides refreshingly new perspectives. This strategy helps practitioners cope with the changes and challenges facing the industry. Mr. Larry Zheng, Vice President of Shankai Sports, China, and an Active Member of ISTAA delivered a presentation on international sports tourism trends and the current climate within the sports industry. #acceleratingsports #ISPO #Beijing #istaa #istaaorg #sportstravel #sportshospitality #goistaamembers #strongertogether

Only two days left until we fly to Lyon with the Hungarian national team for the WorldSkills Championship! In 21 professions, 25 young competitors aged 18-22 will showcase their skills, whether as landscape gardeners, electricians, web developers, or carpenters, proving that Hungarian professionals are among the world's best. It’s an incredible honor for us that, for the fourth time, coaches of Y2Y - Gábor Jasper PCC, Fanni Makrai and me - are leading the Hungarian team as team leaders. We are responsible for the mental preparation, from the selection process all the way to the very end of the four-day competition (and of course, the flight home after the closing party - you can imagine! 🙂). This year, Lyon is hosting the event, and they’ve been preparing for four full years. 1,500 competitors from 65 countries will compete, and the scale of the event is reflected in the fact that the 16,000-seat LDLC Arena is sold out for the opening ceremony - but there are still a couple of seats left for the closing ceremony, which will be held in a 59,000-seat venue 🙂 Between the opening and closing ceremonies is the competition itself, taking place at Eurexpo - so, just like in previous years, we can expect a daily half-marathon's worth of steps if we want to check in on all of our competitors at least four times a day :) Neuroscientists still debate whether the "flow experience" truly exists. We don't know because we’re not neuroscientists. But what we do know is that these ten days, just like previous competitions, will definitely be a flow experience for all of us. The most anticipated week of the year. Cheer with us!!!! #weareskills #performance #mentaltraining #worldskillsfamily #teamleaders

Sapience from the Grad 1 The second activity Max participated in yesterday was the fill-in the bottle competition which was between him and another graduand (a female). Both of them appeared ready for the task but one obviously had a better understanding of the goal. The two bottles were kept few meters apart while two buckets filled with water were kept at the opposite far end. A little cup was put in the buckets to enable the contenders fetch some water, then run with it to the other end and pour into their bottles. This was to be repeated until the bottle is filled. At the blow of a whistle, the competition began. The both contenders understood the first instruction -using the cup to fetch from the bucket, run to the other end and pour into the bottle. However, it was glaring that Max didn't understand that whoever fills the bottle first becomes the winner, hence, he poured most of his water away. On the other hand, the girl understood not just the task but the aim and techniques. While Max's bottle was half full, the girl's bottle was full 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The final whistle made my son realize that a winner had emerged. That not withstanding, I cheered him on (though he already understood that he lost) Sapience: every competition (personal/interpersonal) has rules, timeframe and goals. Understanding these before embarking on competitions will guarantee success.

This was a keynote not to be missed. Insightful and clear like no other. My key takeaways: 💥 We live in a complex & ever changing ecosystem disrupted by constant privacy framework changes. Let the unbiased experts help you navigate it's complexities. 💥 Let's the make the most of AI, it is in our control. "Good data = Good AI" 💥 MobilityWare and Gopuff success stories show how impactful it is to work with accurate, trusted, unbiased data.
