The Age of Iteration
Starting to iterating on product concepts. At the same time, we performed more than 100 user interviews, engaged with 50 CEO's and Chairman's of companies above €25M in order to crack the different pains.
The Age of Board Maturity
Get all appointed in additional Board of Directors. Enlightening a common vision promoting an forward-thinking agenda levelling up board efficiency. Disrupting the standard practice of a board which is essentially a more or less insightful and critical audience for staff work.
The Age of First Questioning
Identifying multiple areas of improvement like disinformation, lost of business context, time wasted in board administration, board efficiency and again passive-reactive behaviors.
The Age of Engagement
Individually joining our first Board of Directors - and quickly a second and then a third. Navigating through a basically passive-reactive approach to governing.
The Age of Discovery
A team of successful entrepreneurs from various industries ( ERP, Telco's, Fintech and more) engaging with board matters at several levels (CFO, CEO, COO or founders).
