How to Cook a Global Talent Event
Recipe1. Start planning as late as possible, e.g. 3 weeks
before showdown
2. Make sure the CEO will be there to experience the event with his own eyes – success or failure
3. Define a strategic challenge which only 1/5 of the talents have a professional relationship with
4. Impose a seemingly unrealistic amount of time to solve the challenge
5. Make sure that you involve as many time-zones as possible
6. Make sure that at least half of the people don’t know how to collaborate effectively with asynchronous tools
7. Provide a good looking stage-gate model: It is proof that in case of failure, the participants are to blame
Ingredients One travel curfew
One (pretty sharp) Talent Manager
40 somewhat disappointed global talents
One demanding but supportive CEO
A handful of skeptic EVP’s
4 autonomous teams
Trust
Timezone-surfing
A kitchen with synchronous + asynchronous tools (collaboration platform)

“In my team we learned new ways of global collaboration.” 'Especially getting input from global stakeholders
came out very efficient in this way of working. In 24 hours you could verify your global impact of your thesis’.
'A dedicated 48 hour effort cannot be scaled to daily work. The time window of collaboration is much smaller. The methods however should be scaled’.
Key things to take away from this
Be ‘first’ on identifying what business needs.
Promote one core set of tools and use-cases for global collaboration – insist on critical mass.
Communicate what ‘white market’ collaboration is
- provide easy access to a single point of departure.
Communicate your (social) collaboration roadmap.
No poor performing tool has ever prevented good collaboration – only lack of intent or skill has!
Assess your #collab and #socbiz maturity.
Embrace ‘black market’ as useful identifiers.
Accept that ‘black market’ collaboration can come in handy – be curious as to the ‘Why’!
Communicate why specific ‘black market’ tools are black – the argument must hold!
Embrace the fact that consumerization is always one step ahead of the enterprise.
Embrace that only #culture can save you!
Start with ‘Lead Node Networks’!
