Check it out – it's the Vellum team ridin' at our 2nd offsite! We're a remote-first company and all got together Tuesday - Saturday last week. Here's what we did and my thoughts ⏬ WHAT WE DID - Arrive to Chicago Tuesday afternoon, offsite kick-off - Work on fun / off-roadmap items during the day, socialize at night - Vellum Olympics on Friday morning, organized by Pei 🤖 Li - Park hang in Chicago in Nico Finelli's neighborhood MY THOUGHTS 1. Off-roadmap items allows the team to bring their best ideas forward. Engineering prototyped an insane number features in offsite, ranging from improvements to paper-cuts in our current UX, to new features that provide incremental value to customers, and also some features that help with acquiring new customers. Non-engineers built demo datasets and really cool agents. Stay tuned for a stacked change-log this month & a fun agent-related article from Anita Kirkovska. Ideas coming from across the organization are a competitive advantage we must harness. 2. People best express their creativity when they feel like they BELONG to a group Fostering an environment where people can connect on a personal level & share motivations and insecurities is a key part of building trust. We all left with the warm fuzzies and after spending time with this group. Vellum Olympics & the family dinner were good events for team bonding. Now we're looking for ways to reproduce these warm fuzzies in a remote setting. 3. Culture forms organically, and is difficult to predict what will click Some of the most memorable moments came from unplanned activities and new inside jokes ("Let's ride" is now a key catchphrase internally after a chaotic game of Avalon) Overall, I'm so grateful to be part of this amazing team and can't wait to see what the future holds! 🚀 Let's ride!!! 🚗 Noa Flaherty Sidd Seethepalli Jackson Hardy Pei 🤖 Li David Vargas Anita Kirkovska Nihala T.

After getting inspired last week about ways to make Insights work harder, I came across Vistaly and decided to keep going beyond reporting. In my experience, some companies churn and burn through their insights, potentially reducing their value. By keeping them siloed, it not only adds complexity but misses overarching themes that can drive new value when put together. 🛎️ Cue: Insights Curation First - what is it? 📈 Making Insights activation easier for business stakeholders to refine and execute their roadmaps quicker So - why might it be needed? 🗿Product example: Sprawling customer/user insights adding to a product manager’s new product development technical debt. Great - what’s the takeaway? 🧮 Leverage better information architecture: Molding findings into pruned impact maps and opportunity solution trees that blueprint product development priorities. #productdevelopment #productmanagement #informationarchitecture #customerinsights

Save time iterating and sharing your discovery work by focusing quickly on the relevant areas first. #productdiscovery

Introducing Danilo Diniz, the genius mind shaping PETE's User Experience and Design! ✨ Q: What makes PETE special? A: My favorite thing about PETE is its hyper-personalization technology. You could for example create company onboarding courses, each tailored for Designers, Marketing, Sales, and even further categorizing it into Junior or Senior roles, making the adaptation period shorter and easier for your new hires. #PETE #MeetTheTeam #EmergingTech #EdTech #AILearning

Twice a year, we celebrate colleagues who bring our values to life in their everyday work 💙 As our second Value Award winner from last year, let’s get to know Yuri 🥳 -------- Hɪ Yᴜʀɪ! Wʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅᴀɪʟʏ ᴡᴏʀᴋ? I am part of the design systems team, where we work on creating a world-class design system, and develop the best solutions for the new Nordic Marketplace platform where I represent Tori and Oikotie. I focus on improving the design system, adapting new solutions for brands, creating concepts, testing, and implementing them along with my teammates. Wʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀs ᴛʜᴇ sᴜᴘᴇʀᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ ʟᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪs ᴡɪɴɴɪɴɢ ᴘᴏsɪᴛɪᴏɴ? My main motivation is our products, which help millions of people. It's a wonderful feeling to be part of something important where we positively impact users' lives, while at the same time assisting the company, designers, and developers by automating and improving processes so that together we are creating something truly grand. -------- Thank you Yuri for always being curious and always developing our products further! 🌟 As your colleagues said: “A very talented designer with a great eye for detail. Always curious to find new ways to do design and think of solutions to any design problems. Brings positive energy with him everywhere he goes.” #valueawards #becurious #lifeatschibsted #tori #oikotie #schibstedcareers

Hey everyone! We're super excited to announce that we're ready to unveil the value we’ve created with Pory for Airtable, all wrapped nicely in a 🎀. It's practically a platform for cheating #airtable. 🔓 Your users won’t need to know or use Airtable. 💰 You won’t need to purchase extra seats for them. But jokes aside, Pory addresses the challenges businesses encounter in securely sharing information with their end users. Both Luannie Dang and I are incredibly humbled to have built a platform that has empowered over 30,000 operators, creators, and founders to develop apps without writing a single line of code. Even though it's not 300,000 or 3,000,000 users, we’re still immensely proud to have accomplished all this with just the two of us, against all odds. It's almost unbelievable how we've managed to hold down the fort for this long, officially making it the longest-held job in our decade-long career! Naturally, product development took the front seat, while other roles like marketing enjoyed the luxury of sitting back, often asking like that annoying child, “Are we there yet?” Well, thanks for asking, “Marketing”, because we have indeed arrived, and now it's your turn to take the wheel! It's time to let businesses around the world know how they can leverage Pory for collecting, automating, and sharing information with their customers, networks, and communities. But “Marketing” has no experience in driving and it needs as much help as possible. Please help us spread the word by tagging friends and people from the #nocode and #airtable community for greater visibility 🙏 With 80% of the year behind us, we're determined to make the remaining 20% the most impactful 💥

We've all had those moments where we're unsure or don't have all the answers. But what if these moments are the perfect opportunities for growth and collaboration?✨ Building a team that supports each other in the "not knowing" moments is crucial. It's about stepping in, filling in the blanks, and ensuring we have a holistic approach to both our tasks and client support. https://lnkd.in/ebdu-Huk #Teamwork #Support #Collaboration #Growth #Innovation #HolisticApproach #BigPixel

In the world of team building, a fascinating truth emerges every time we are talking to potential leads. Most of them, it seems, are not as concerned about the mechanics of how a fun team building event works, as long as it delivers the promised enjoyment. It's a bit like driving a car without needing to know how the engine operates. We are all used to such a way of thinking in the modern world. However, when we step into the live event arena, a perplexing sight greets us. Participants from other events are often weighed down by piles of clipboards, folders, paper materials, and all sorts of trinkets. It's 2023, and yet paper and pens still prevail in the age of AI? It's a puzzling juxtaposition. But it's not just about outdated methods; it's about the actual engagement and enjoyment generated. Are these experiences truly worth the investment companies make? Time and again, we see participants racing around city monuments, taking photos and presenting them to staff members for approval. Yet, the challenge remains elusive, the problem unsolved. It leaves us wondering: where's the real team building element here? When does the magic happen? And so, there's the tale of two paths. One leads to the traditional, the outdated. The other, embodied by the fully digital Urban Quest experience, ushers in a new era of team building. The question shifts from 'Do you deliver fun and engagement?' to 'How exactly do you deliver that you promise?' It's not about just having a good time; it's about meaningful engagement, real problem-solving, and genuine connections. The stuff that actually makes a difference when people are back at work the next day. This is, of course, if you want your team to go 'Wow' instead of 'Meh' even saying the words 'team building' out loud in front of them. The days of teams donning silly headbands are relics of the past. The era of cutting-edge team building experiences has dawned. Let's redefine what it means to build teams, foster camaraderie, and ignite innovation. More on the subject in our latest write-up.
