Workshop in Rome

February 20, 2025

Sometimes you have to be thrown to the lions🦁.

Just completed a two-day strategy workshop for a new client in Rome.

The management group presented a number of ideas and received immediate feedback as in the “lion’s den”.

3 groups had been asked to identify and validate a number of ideas in advance which were rated based on a number of criteria.

Both the rational part

1) does it solve a specific challenge for our customers,

2) is it attractive to us, and

3) do we have the necessary knowledge and skills.

But also the more emotional part - how passionate are we, and not least do we believe in the idea ourselves?

It was two good days of discussions - and the selection of a few, but strong ideas, which will be worked on further.

No lions or people were harmed in the process - so a clear recommendation to have a pitch night ala the lion’s den.

I also got to see the Colosseum - so win/win/win.

Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant.
