Teamwork Makes A Dream work, #GYPSeminarSeries

This week, we are celebrating some of the company’s #MagicMoments tied up in grainy phone pics that we’ve collected over the years. Today’s pic is for a seminar event we co-hosted a few years back… ‘Teamwork Makes A Dream work, #GYPSeminarSeries’

One of the biggest moments of our company’s short life was a wonderful event we put together as part of the #GYPSeminarSeries with so many other wonderful, wonderful people. As anybody that knows me well, I am big into learning and just love hearing more from people who do big things and do them well. I had just been asked to be onto the committee for Glasgow Young Professionals and we decided to run a series of professional development seminars which would inspire young professionals throughout the city.

We wanted a great speaker for the first event and thankfully we got one with Russell Wardrop of Kissing With Confidence. Together with the loft team doing some amazing work on the marketing, the Clydesdale Bank in St Vincent Street, Glasgow kindly providing their stunning branch to host the event, GYP getting more than 100 young professionals out to a professional development seminar on a rainy Monday night and obviously Russell Wardrop donating his incredibly valuable time – we made something pretty special happen.

This lovely overhead shot taken from the mezzanine with Benedetto about to introduce Russell magically captures it in all its glory.

Teamwork makes a dream work…

Benedetto

Benedetto is an enthusiastic creative and business person.

‘Design with soul’ may be the company tag-line, but to Benedetto, it is also a way of life. He believes that creative and commercial enterprise is about purity of thought, honesty of construction and boldness of execution.

He believes in bringing out the true essence of human endeavour and considers his job of articulating the great work of people and companies an absolute privilege.

His journey has taken him from a career in car design through to his current role as the Founder and Creative Director of the loft, a branding consultancy in Glasgow.

He is honoured to manage a great team, work with great clients and have a lot of fun mixing with so many great people in business.

Alan Meldrum, A Frictionless Experience In a Disruptive World, #GYPSeminarSeries Part-3

 

Part 3, It Starts with Product (or Service.)

In the third part of Alan Meldrum’s talk, ‘Frictionless Experience in a Disruptive World.’ Alan emphasises the absolute need for a strong product or service in delivering great service. “If the product is poor, you are on a hiding to nothing in getting good customer satisfaction.” Later in his talk, Alan advocates the need for a joined-up approach putting the stakeholder front and their needs front and centre of the journey.

#GYPSeminarSeries ‘Frictionless Experience in a Disruptive World.’
Several months ago, Alan Meldrum, Global Vice-President for Strategy and Client Services of Percepta shared some thoughtful insights with the GYP crowd about why – in an increasingly disruptive world it’s never been more important for businesses to deliver a frictionless stakeholder experience. It was the 4th part of a fabulous #GYPSeminarSeries hosted at SocietyM and Alan was terrific in sharing his views in how to create great customer and staff experiences. We were so happy with Alan that we asked him to do a follow-up in front of the camera and that camera was very kindly provided by Gylen of Boardman Media.

What you are now watching is the third part of a new video series taking Alan Meldrum’s #GYPSeminarSeries online.

Huge thanks to everybody involved – The GYP team, Boardman Media, The Loft Team, The Percepta Team and most of all Alan Meldrum for his time and for giving us such a wonderful insight into how to create successful user-experiences.

With thanks,

Alan Meldrum, A Frictionless Experience In a Disruptive World, #GYPSeminarSeries Part-2


 
Part 2, No Hiding Place with Social Media

In the second part of Alan Meldrum’s talk, ‘Frictionless Experience in a Disruptive World.’ Alan speaks about social media and how it’s changing the entire business landscape. He discusses the importance of companies being authentic and focussed on community building over targeted marketing. He goes on to explain why the companies that are most open, authentic and comfortably willing to ‘engage customers regardless of the other 34 million people in the room’ are those that are most likely to succeed with social media.
