Tech Thursday
Guidelines
Our guidelines are based on a strategy that is fluid and iterative.
1. Cross-Industry Collaboration
Break down industry barriers. Cross-pollinate ideas to create fresh solutions.
2. Encourage Serendipity
Innovation doesn’t always come from a meeting—it comes from unexpected moments. We create environments that foster those “a-ha” moments
3. Trail with Small Error
Experiment. Test. Learn. Fail fast, fail small and iterate toward success.
4. Enterprise Led Innovation
You lead the change. We give you the tools and resources to drive real innovation within your business.
5. Retain and Engage Talent
Keep your people engaged by involving them in the process. Talent retention isn’t just about pay—it’s about making people feel like they’re contributing to something bigger!
6. Cultivate Community
We build more than just networks—we build real communities. Communities that support, mentor, and challenge each other.
NB: All communities are networks, but not all networks are communities.
