Sea to Summit Global’s Post

Amazing how much energy it gives when meeting our partners and being able to share ideas! Last week we had Vaisala’s EMEA region’s partner event in Malaga, Spain. And the hot topics were (some of them😌): The world premiere of Vaisala’s brand launch and brand content sharing with partners. Various talks about how we’re #takingeverymeasure for the planet, and the strategy going forward. Idea gathering about how we can improve our cooperation for the benefit of the end-customer. Quite many topics and some new priorities were raised. And we concluded that one size never fits all, which is one of the reasons we value our local partners and distributors highly. New connections were formed. And a note to self when evaluating the value of the event: Face to face & human to human communications will make any future teams call, email chain, digital tool usage and phone call more efficient and productive. It will help us reduce mis-understandings and significantly increase innovation! Thank you all partners, thank you colleagues for participating and organising - and thank you everyone supporting this event also from distance. There are always team efforts needed to make everything smooth and successful. Let’s continue the discussion! #takingeverymeasure #newbrand #purpose #vaisala

Last week in London, we met with customers and partners from across Europe at Riskonnect's annual European Konnect conference. It was great to be back in London for the week, and to see many from the Riskonnect, Inc. team! The event was two days of high energy with customer and partner-led sessions that especially highlighted the importance of business resilience, and the great potential of AI in risk management today. It was also a timely opportunity to introduce Ventiv, our newest acquisition to customers; and for Ventiv’s customers to learn about Riskonnect. And of course, after a day of energizing and thought-provoking sessions, the reception was a fun evening.   Our CEO  Jim Wetekamp highlighted the rise of interconnected risk, especially in today’s environment, and drew out a path from ‘chaos to control’. He shared how customers could orchestrate success using our technology that provides integrated and aligned insights across the business, and automated solutions to help with prediction, correlation, and streamlined workflows.  Tom Teixeira, a Partner at Arthur D. Little talked about how companies can achieve an ‘anti-fragile’ state by integrating Enterprise Risk Management, Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery, something that our technology does pretty well. No conference or conversation about technology is complete without AI; our Chief Product Officer Kathryn Carlson provided a fantastic summary about AI in action in the world of risk management. The possibilities are exciting in several areas such as business intelligence and data exploration, industry benchmarking. Geospatial and predictive AI will also offer opportunities to change the way we look at risk management. I was thrilled to see many of our business partners onstage, including Control Risks that gave insightful views of how to transform risk management with data, and WTW that had an interesting take on managing property and climate risk. I’m personally looking forward to the new integration we are collaborating with WTW on for their Risk IQ (Risk Intelligence Quantified) product, which they just announced, hot off the press this week. #RiskUnderOneRoof #KonnectEurope

Recently, I had the pleasure of chatting about the challenges and opportunities in international expansion. It was a great conversation that got me thinking about what really matters when companies go global.   A few key takeaways stood out:   1. Cultural awareness is crucial. It's not just about translating your marketing - it's about truly understanding and respecting local customs and preferences.   2. Patience is a virtue. Building trust and relationships in new markets takes time. Don't expect overnight success.   3. Adaptability is key. Be ready to adjust your products, services, and strategies to fit local needs.   4. Local partnerships are invaluable. They can help navigate regulations, logistics, and cultural nuances.   5. Invest in your team. Having diverse perspectives and language skills can make a world of difference.   Going international is a journey, not a sprint. It's about thinking locally while acting globally. Embrace the challenges, learn from the setbacks, and celebrate the wins along the way.   Thanks to Bill Kenney for the great discussion.
