Today we will have part 1 of 2 of our Quarterly Department Strategy meeting. Two weeks ago we had our 2-day Executive Strategy meeting where we set the 1 Critical Number and 4 Major Rocks for the company as well as a single Quarterly Objective for every department head. Today our Exec team will share the plan with the department leaders and invite questions and discussion. Next week we will have part 2 of 2 of our Quarterly Department Strategy meeting where the department leaders will come back with their department quarterly plans to support the company plan as well as a top quarterly objective for every person in their departments (and thus everyone in the company). Good planning that cascades down the entire company takes intentional effort and time. **How do you plan and align your team?

Great article from Wayan Vota. Here is the main point "Proposal writing is a very creative endeavor, best practiced by skilled professionals with deep sectoral knowledge and personal familiarity with the operating context. You are persuading the proposal reviewer that you know the challenges they seek to overcome, you have the best solution for them, and you will be compliant with all their rules." - GenAi, in general, and Grant Assistant, in particular, are just aiming to remove a) friction that keeps you away from getting to the creative bits b) the mundanity of stuff like compliance matrixes. https://lnkd.in/eyMMJHQm

Last week, we had a good time at the HIT Games Conference in Berlin. Thank you for the organization! We paneled, discussing the industry and all the challenges we are facing at the moment, like AI changing the labor market, Web3, and crisis. You know what was interesting — the question Florian Dreschner asked the audience. (btw, you are insanely good at moderating, thank you!) Did anybody profit from launching their product on the Web3 market? No hands. How many stories, teams, and projects had been building behind the scenes of the global hype? How many of them succeed in real? Not just on media announcements and news to make hype around some particular product? I'm not talking about fundraising; I'm talking about profitable business models. That's the question. And that's related to the overall reputation of Web3 gaming. So, I see only one way here — build a product people love using any method and technology and then try to monetize it and get a positive ROI. The time of hype has passed, and the reality is that only technology is not enough. We have to be more resilient and passionate, and we have to keep building. Thank you for your thoughts on the stage, Paul Flanagan and Sofia Senatorova. See you soon! Thank you, Denys Kliuch, for joining the journey; you did great. Good luck!

😯 Big news: I'm no longer CEO of VSHN. 😯 It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m so grateful and honored to have been a part of the VSHN story. A huge thank you to everyone - our exceptional team of VSHNeers, our loyal clients and our awesome partners. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together. Your unwavering support and belief in our vision have been the driving force behind our success. But here’s the twist: while I am no longer CEO, I’m not going anywhere! 🚀 Titles and positions never really mattered to us at VSHN. I remember talking to Aarno Aukia in 2018 before joining VSHN when he asked me, "What should we write on the work contract"? 😄 I remember asking VSHNeers for "permission" to do things during my first weeks at VSHN and they always stared at me like "Why do you ask? Just do it!". We’ve always believed in the power of the team and collective intelligence. So for us, this "change" means taking the natural next step in our organizational journey to becoming a truly self-organized company, embracing that everyone has a role to play and leadership is shared. A "Management Team" or "C-Titles" never fit into this vision or helped in any way. All responsibilities are seamlessly distributed among roles and teams directly involved in daily operations and customer interactions. And all the former Management Members and Founders are still working 100% at VSHN in their roles and teams. We've been working this way for quite some time now, so in our opinion, nothing noticeable should change. This innovative structure will empower each team member to take on leadership responsibilities, fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity, and agility. I am excited about this new chapter and confident that this shift will drive us to new heights. Thanks for being part of this journey. Together, we will continue to innovate, inspire, and achieve remarkable things. Here’s to an exciting future ahead! 🌟 Thanks to all #VSHNeers and our friends over at: DECTRIS Ltd. internezzo ag Liip smartive Transa Backpacking AG Unic and all others for constantly sharing their know-how and experience on self-organization topics and working together to create the workplaces of the future! 💪🤝 #SelfOrganization #Leadership #Teamwork #WheresMyBoss #NewWork #Workplace #Innovation #VSHNary

CONFERENCES ARE A WASTE? Someone once told me that attending conferences is a waste of time. But is it? 🤔 In my experience, conferences are a goldmine for: 🔄 Exchanging Knowledge: You get real-world insights directly from industry leaders and peers. 💡 Fresh Ideas: The sessions and conversations spark innovations you can take back to your business. 🤝 Networking: Where else can you meet so many like-minded professionals in one place? If you think conferences are a waste, perhaps you're not fully tapping into their potential. It’s not just about attending, but about engaging, learning, and connecting. 🌱 If you’re planning to attend any upcoming conferences and want to catch up, send me a message. I’d love to meet up 📩 P.S. I’m also open to speaking at conferences next year! If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. #Conferences #Networking #Innovation #Learning #Ecommerce #BusinessGrowth

It has been a while since I last mentioned how crypto currencies might impact the travel industry, but the time has come to pay a little attention to this development again The team at Travala.com continue to show that there is a real world where travel can be sold without the use of credit card as a payment method - in the month of June 2024 only 5% of the travel sold via Travala.com was paid with credit card while so-called stablecoins (USDT and USDC) accounted for 39% and Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) accounted for 19% This is fascinating as it points toward a future version of the travel payment world where credit cards literally will be the dinosaur way of paying for travel services Furthermore, the Travala loyalty program known as the AVA Smart Program continue to attract members and nowm includes 24,191 members - and they are kicking "kickbacks" of up to 10% of the booking value in BTC or AVA which mean the members literally can treat the kickback as an investment Imagine if you are a corporate travel buyer and you start getting 10% back in digital tokens on all the trips you book - quite an interesting perspective to look at right ? https://lnkd.in/dtdNBvRi

Today is a very big day for our whole Serviceplan Group agency group, as we announce a further centerpiece of our AI Agent roadmap at Plan.Net Group: #Masumi - The AI Agent Network Protocol We are heading into a future with billions of AI agents taking care of many aspects of our personal and professional lifes. They all need to collaborate and transact with each other. They will form the AI Agent Economy! To enable this, AI agents need: #Identity, #Accountability and #Transactions The #Masumi Protocol will unlock all three capabilities for AI agent systems and will form a fully decentralized network of agentic services. Many developers all around the world who are building AI agents, will be able to make them discoverable and monetize them through the #Masumi Network. No matter which technology they prefer. We support CrewAI, phidata, AutogenAI and many more to come. #Masumi is based at its core on The Cardano Foundation Blockchain and I truly believe that AI Agents are the killer-app blockchain has been eagerly waiting for. We as Serviceplan Group will be the first to use the #Masumi Protocol as soon it hits #Mainnet to be the backbone our very own #AgenticServices we already launched in October and with that many of our clients using those will directly benefit from AI agents having verifiable identities, being accountable for their outputs, and having the ability to collaborate and transact with each other. Please head to our website: http://masumi.network if you want to learn more or read this more in-depth paper on the topic here: https://lnkd.in/eU_q_WBW I am proud that we took the opportunity to create the business and people environment for real entrepreneural ingenuity now resulting in one of the most business relevant innovations I have been part of in the last years! It´s nothing less than being at the spearhead of a huge paradigm shift that will change principles in the way we interact and take desicions. This is about embracing the power if AI and use it to enable and enhance human communication and actions. This all would not have been possible without you, Sebastian Küpers as master brain behind the idea and of course your fantastic agentic team with Katrin Krall, Eva Simone Lihotzky, Maik Kähler, Christian Waitzinger, Nina Louisa Matzat, Yves Bollinger, Katsche Platz and our partners Patrick Tobler, Kristian Portz, Dieter Pries and of course Sandro Knöpfel from the Cardano Foundation.

Last week we held our workshop for startups "How to build go-to-market strategy". 🚀 From the request of participants, I have understood that the knowledge in this sphere is often fragmentary. The startups asked about: - how to build the systematic go-to-market roadmap - best cases for specific countries (USA), industries, business models (B2B Saas, B2C Marketplace) - they would like to have an arsenal of tactics and strategies. That prompted me to ask you: 🔵 what are the best experts you know in go-to-market (GTM) 🔵 what are the best educational resources you know in GTM 🔵 what best instruments do you know and/or use to enter new markets or validate your hypotheses Please, share your thoughts 👇 They will be precious
