Thank you so much Lars. I’m in the midst of inheriting a non performance team who basically lacks motivation and trust. And I’m tasked to transform the team. Your sharing motivated me and given me confidence.

I got a training from my company and I have to comment about your explanation. This looks interesting but I currently don’t have enough energy to focus on your presentation; it’s midnight here.
I’ll come back later this morning.
Time box, Space box, Ritual box, Sand box.
If there’s other people from my company also stumbling upon this comment, please say hi.

Great presentation Lars! Really enjoyed the concept of the 4 boxes. Extremely relevant to any transformation.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Stijn

This presentation confirms my belief that often limitations (a box) inspires better thinking - so true! We need to challenge the old mantra of innovation!

[@LarsSudmann]

Thanks Irina, yes, let's keep on challenging it

[@HansSmellinckx]

Great presentation. In my 20 years of transforming companies, it's a fact you should "make it small to achieve big goals" (almost a 6 word sentence ;-) )

[@LarsSudmann]

Thanks a lot Hans, also for the 7-word statement :-)

[@ihford5214]

Make it small, achieve big goals = 6

Ritual box and sandbox are really powerful ideas

[@erikleung7711]

Very entertaining yet inspiring speech, Lars! It is very true that we need boxes to protect us in order to focus. I have noticed myself that I have to turn my phone to airplane mode to properly focus at the task at hand. Keep this stuff coming!

[@LarsSudmann]

Thanks Erik :-)
