Hey, happy Monday,<\/p>\n\n

I look forward to 6:30 p.m. today to meet us all in the STRTGY meeting with Daniele Francescon<\/a>, co-founder of Serenis (formerly NeN and Poste Energia)<\/p>\n\n

Daniel has an enviable track record, and when this happens it is because nothing is left to luck. Over the years of venture building<\/strong> he has codified a playbook that he will share with us in this live session. I asked him to preview the most important building blocks. Here they are. <\/p>\n\n

  1. Zero compromise on people<\/li>
  2. Build a “conditional freedom” environment<\/li>
  3. Endorsement from the top (CEO, no C-suite)<\/li>
  4. Align incentives & celebrate<\/li>
  5. Good balance outsource\/insource<\/li><\/ol>\n\n

    We will address these points one by one, accessing his experience and avoiding predictable mistakes.<\/p>\n\n

    There are already more than 130 registrants at the time I am writing this email. Not everyone will obviously be able to connect LIVE, but certainly most will watch the recording. <\/p>\n\n

    If you don’t want to leave your questions unanswered, I suggest you anticipate them using this form. They will be the first ones that Daniel will answer. <\/p>\n\n

    The STRTGY Drumbeat<\/h2>\n\n

    Did you know that there is a Facebook group of STRTGY that has +1700 members?<\/p>\n\n

    Some time ago I launched a survey within this group, asking whether Facebook was really the right space to interact on a level that would bring tangible value to all members. The answer was clear. <\/p>\n\n

    The organic distribution of posts does not allow people to stay updated or actively contribute to initiatives. Speaking in numbers: only 18% of group members saw the post and only 2% of members voted. Of the various options available, 50% chose Telegram as an alternative platform. <\/p>\n\n

    Numbers too small to make a useful decision for the future of STRTGY.<\/p>\n\n

    Here is the plan.<\/p>\n\n

    Codename: The Drumbeat<\/h3>\n\n

    The drumbeat is the rhythm that moves a team rowing synchronized to succeed.<\/p>\n\n

    It is the rhythm that I want to build together with you.<\/p>\n\n

    I have prepared a few questions that will help me design the future of the community.<\/p>\n\n
