Starting point
Family First is a start-up company that renews well-being at work. The aim of our co-operation was to clarify the company's future vision and goals and to concretise the growth objectives and measures for the next three years.

What was done? 
During the three half-day workshops, we developed, in addition to the objectives, business know-how and a revenue model. The Future Platforms tool was used to help outline the future operating environment.

What was accomplished? 
As a result of the work, the company's focus was clarified and the next steps became concrete.

“Co-operation with Great Minds was very rewarding and eye-opening. We had a lot of developmental discussions and were able to look at many things with a critical perspective. Niko and Kirsi are not afraid to say things out loud and this was especially relevant to us. As a fast-growing and evolving company, we did not want Yes men, but critical, courageous, and out-of-the-box thinkers.”

Starting point 
The international, two-day The SHIFT business event brings together growth companies, investors, and influencers. The event is mainly put on by an organisation of volunteers. The volunteers and the high annual turnover of workers are a challenge, especially for management and for building a business culture. The goal of The SHIFT to double the number of visitors from the previous year.

What was done? 
We challenged the top management of The Shift and the volunteer organisation by holding a series of workshops. Among other things, the workshops created a spirit of community by encouraging volunteers to find their own strengths and therefore achieve their sales targets and implement a professional event. After the event, feedback was collected of what went well and what did not go so well. This was done to ensure the transfer of good practices to future events.

What was accomplished? 
The business event exceeded its visitor target and the arrangements worked very well. The feedback from the event was excellent. Also, Great Minds received excellent feedback from the management and volunteers and we will continue to develop the 2018 business event.
