THE FUTURE OF COMPANIES

​

​

CONTEXT

After a decade of debating what the Millennials & Gen Z really want and whether working from home is the new normal, progress with AI combined with uncertainty around trade agreements, environmental challenges, unexpected results from elections, and some power shifting from governments to tech companies (causing either collaboration or friction depending the countries)... are finally creating more interesting conversations and slowly getting to the question of what humans are on Earth to do (if most humans can be replaced by AI).

​

EXCESSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE CHALLENGING FOCUS

New means of sharing information coupled with fascination for powerful companies has led to a constant flow of media coverage. Challenges that were previously resolved quietly are now in the spotlight.

The latest news about a companies' challenges is now a major factor in their ability to recruit, in short term variations of share price. With the media's constant quest for sensationalism, we don't see that pressure going away, however, increasing the rate of innovation enables companies to receive some positive publicity for their efforts: exceptional and ethical innovation will eventually get good PR.​

​

COMPANY / TEAM SIZE

The larger a company gets, the harder it is to identify the better employees and to empower them.

Lean teams with a constant flow of motivating work perform best.

We see the solution as team / projects teams being set up as smaller units where tools and governance are organised to keep a close eye on motivation and performance.

​

RECRUITMENT

Candidates have increasingly pursued goals such as well-being, sustainability and company culture where they feel recognised. Some employers might have taken it a bit too literally: we have attended a recruitment event on campus and watched an entire pitch by a major tech company focused on the free food at the canteen, not one word about the products. 

We want to see purpose as the number one factor to join a company. The only question should be: "what innovation do I want to work on and which company in this area is has a culture that resonates?".

​​

​

THE IDEAL FORMAT

We believe that continuous change inside companies can occur harmoniously and effectively

and that the process can be fun and stimulating. ​The keys are:

- providing clarity on goals, purpose and company values to attract the right people,

- lean teams with accountability delivering a steady pace of innovation.

HOW WE CAN HELP

We are here to check all aspects of an employee (or team)'s balance so that nothing gets in the way or their creativity. If we detect an anomaly in one area, we can create custom workshops and custom long term solutions for the balance & creativity to be restored (see creativity and workshop pages).

Once teams have been trained on our tools, they should be able to diagnose and repair any further imbalance autonomously.
