The head of Bedrift AS sends out this invitation to his managers! When we now have our next strategy meeting, I have chosen to do everything differently. We will hold a meeting in the wonderful Palm de Mallorca where we will challenge each other - to think new things! We will therefore be staying in Puro House, a unique hotel with only 11 rooms, the same number as we will be staying in total, including the management team and some support people. This idea is completely free, it is not paid by anyone, just a thought I got.
Inspiration
We are going to visit one of the largest cathedrals in the world, there we are going to look upside down and think what was the strategy of those who made this structure endure so much, for so many years.
Then we will experience art, perhaps be a little provoked and hopefully also inspired. Finally, there will also be some culture. We will also enjoy good food and drink, but there will be some surprises here.
Norway's challenges today, May 2023!
So welcome to the creative strategy meeting. Even if the krone exchange rate is plummeting, electricity and foodstuffs are rising, we must find new ways of thinking. The challenge is, which 5 areas do we need to improve on and what do we need to be better at in order to succeed in today's challenges? So read on.
This is perhaps the weirdest way I've ever tried to get a little extra attention from all you leaders and members on LinkedIN. Hope you'll mind sharing after you've spent a few minutes on my thought and idea!
Click on the arrow on the left, before reading further, and you can read my proposal for recommended focus points for the next strategy meeting, I want to be challenged, so sharpen the pencil, really!
Hope this sounds like an exciting and productive plan for our strategy meeting! Here are my five areas in which you can challenge me in order for us as a company to improve and achieve success in our area:
Innovation and creativity:
It is important to think outside the box and be innovative in your approach to products, services or processes. Focus on generating new ideas, developing unique solutions and being open to change and innovation.
Customer satisfaction and experience:
Make sure to understand and meet the customers' needs and expectations in the best possible way. Conduct customer surveys, listen to feedback and work to improve the customer's experience of their products or services.
Quality and reliability:
Set high standards for the quality of our products and services, and be consistent in maintaining those standards. Build a reputation for being reliable, trustworthy and deliver what we promise.
Efficiency and productivity:
Optimize work processes and resource use to achieve greater efficiency and productivity. Identify and eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks or inefficient routines, and explore opportunities for automation or technological solutions that can help you work smarter.
Cooperation and teamwork:
Strengthen collaboration within your organization and team. Encourage the sharing of knowledge, experiences and ideas, and create a culture that promotes teamwork and common goals. Build strong relationships and communication channels to ensure effective interaction.
When it comes to what we should be the best at, you can consider choosing a specific area that is relevant to our business.
So in order to connect the customers closer, we will invite them to a "cabin tour" at various cabins along the entire coast. There you and the employees in each area will cook really good seafood and you will be the inspirations. Because around small tables, it's always nice when the food is good and not least home-made!
That is why I have planned to teach you how to cook seafood at the gathering, some of the best chefs in Palma will be visiting. You will aim to be the best at offering fresh, sustainable ideas and tasty seafood dishes.
In other words, to create a unique dining experience for customers and to become masters of seafood presentation and culinary creativity.
This is important when together we are to motivate our employees first and then we all have to convince the customers that it is smart to work even more closely with us.
So remember to identify one area where they, the customers, and we together want to stand out as a unique team.
We or you will stay here - Puro House which is part of Puro Hotel Oasis Urbano ****
Puro House is the most exclusive part of this hotel and is perfect for small groups who want peace and privacy during their creative stay.
This hotel has been "converted" from an old Mallorcan palace and completely renovated, while retaining the original structure of the building. There are 11 stately rooms in the Superior category, an open kitchen, living room and several smaller terraces, including one with a jacuzzi.
The main room is a very inviting lounge with a large wing-shaped sculpture adorning the open fireplace. The lounge can be used to hold informal meetings in lounge or conference style for 11 people.
This is the perfect place for different needs and stays, but still with Puro's excellent service. It is a multi-functional space where you can enjoy open kitchens, cooking classes, photography classes, leadership development, wine tasting, private dining, cocktail parties and more.
It can also accommodate up to 40 people for a cocktail dinner. One of our guests' favorite areas is the outdoor jacuzzi terrace.
Prices for exclusive rental start at €3,000 for the entire Puro House. Only €270 including everything mentioned above. (May 2023) NB! for bookings, arrangements must be made directly with reception or Puro Sales. (feel free to ask me)
Remember there are many things to use your free time for, if you get any, but Purobeach gives you a 50% discount when you stay at the hotel.
Hope this was a little inspiring. Thanks for all the feedback
