🌟 Celebrating Two Years of Digital Transformation 🌟
March marked a significant milestone for us as we celebrated the second birthday of Campfire (our digital platform powered by Open Social)—a journey of growth, learning, and innovation. From its inception as a community-based learning platform to its evolution into a cross-organizational hub hosting leadership events and enabling governance exchanges, it's been an incredible ride.
Reflecting on this journey, I've learned invaluable lessons that I'd like to share:
𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: It goes beyond technical aspects, fostering organizational transformations that break down silos and prioritize user experience. This mindset permeates various aspects of the organization, leading to holistic improvements.
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲: Rome wasn't built in a day, and organizational change, especially in a century-old institution, takes time. Embracing the journey with patience and persistence is crucial for success.
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥: Engaging with change management frameworks like ADKAR and Rogers' curve, and embracing a "Ready, Willing, and Able" approach has been instrumental. Going back to theory, studying, and learning have been enriching experiences.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: None of this would have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the team. Their commitment and collaboration have been the driving force behind our success. Thank you, Robyn Gibbs, Silvana Somoza, Swapnil for your incredible work, dedication, collaborative and innovative mindset. You are always solution and customer-oriented. Campfire would not be where it is today without you.
𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫: Selecting Open Social as our digital partner has been a game-changer. Beyond providing a technical solution, their alignment with our values and approach has been invaluable. What once felt cheesy during contract signing 3 years ago has proven to be an essential element of our success.
I'm incredibly proud to lead this transformative journey, shaping our digital home alongside a dedicated team. Together, we've enhanced daily leadership practices and created more inclusive learning environments through innovative tools.
Here's to two years of growth, and here's to many more ahead! 🎉 #DigitalTransformation #onlinelearning #LeadershipJourney
