Meet Team Zervicepoint with friends in our adventure to build a new company. Join us to see what’s happening at the moment and when we open-hearted share our failures and success. Happiness is mixed with frustration and a will to change the world, where we believe nothing is impossible.
It's week 58 in the life of Zervicepoint and we are currently in the prototyping phase of creating a portal aiming at HRs - pre-and onboarding processes. Wouldn't it be great if it was smoother for the HR department and HR managers to follow a workflow when hiring a new colleague? There's a lack of such tools and services in today's market and Zervicepoint has proven to be great in that context, so why not create a nice little Zervicepoint flavor? In the creation of a new product, we need to go through all the different phases, which puts us as people to a test. Now more than ever it is crucial to cooperate, encourage different perspectives, and leave everyone's thoughts equally open. Maybe someone is a real 'doer' who just wants to get started, while another wants to spend more time on analysis. How do we perform with different personalities in a team?

If I say that self-leadership and self-organizing company are two keys to success as an organization and individual in this fast paced world - do you agree? A few weeks ago, we had the honor of sitting down with the eminent human Niklas Lindhardt for an hour and a half and talking about everything from throwing his 5-year college education into the lake to reflecting on the silence around us. The conversation became so rich in content that we chose to divide it into three parts. In this first part, we start by getting to know Niklas as a person and how he came to invest in his passion and make it his career. He also gives you hands on tips on how you can become more connected to yourself with the help of nature. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and let the episode take you to new dimensions!

The Friday feeling is on and we will of course release a new episode of our smash hit - Expedition Zervicepoint. In this episode, we talk about something that should exist in all organizations, innovation, in particular what innovation is for us and how we in Team Zervicepoint choose to address it. Because it is possible to define innovation in many different ways. It is possible to talk fluffy about it, but it is also possible to go down to a more concrete level that talks about how to use it in practice. What is a Think Week? What is innovation?

We're moving out digitally, mentally, and physically! Listen to what we are saying about our chaotic every-day-life right now. Everything needs to happen at the same time, big and small and how we are embracing the chaotic situation and loving it, otherwise we are moving too slow. We want to build a different value-driven company and simplify the way we work in everything we do and discussing titles, what they say about our values, and how we can use them in a different way. At the same time, the world is going through a pandemic and we are reflecting on the ups and downs and what good will come out of this.
