Challenge
In the fast-paced tech landscape, HelloFresh's German team was redefining meetings for enhanced teamwork and productivity. They recognize the need for meaningful and effective remote communication. The goal is clear: streamline meetings, boost engagement, and strike the right balance between quantity and quality. Together with the leadership team, a Bootcamp program was created to accelerate this process.
Draining meetings in high quantities are not exclusive to large organizations. Every human group working together needs to occasionally take time to reflect and review their operating system. In our Productivity at Scale track at HelloCircle, we dig deeper into team-based productivity systems, techniques, and tools that help to enhance team performance and collaboration.
Solution
The program provided an immersive learning experience with insightful lessons, reflection exercises, and hands-on workshops. The journey began by understanding the current state through an Operating System (OS) Canvas and a detailed analysis of every meeting using the "100 Meetings Workshop." Proven meeting best practices, hybrid working techniques, and collaborative productivity strategies were explored to address the unique context of HelloFresh.
The finale of the Bootcamp involved breaking into small, cross-functional teams. Tasked with improving a regular ritual or meeting, participants underwent a double-diamond process. This journey involved redefining problems and designing innovative solutions, with the aim of implementing these transformative changes the very next day. The Bootcamp not only equipped participants with knowledge but also empowered them to actively contribute to the ongoing evolution of HelloFresh's team culture.
Impact
The Bootcamp cultivated a common language around productivity and awareness across multifunctional squads, breaking down silos and fostering collaboration. The shared learning experience created momentum for change, leading to a mindset shift and a collective determination to implement newfound insights.
Moreover, the Bootcamp established a robust framework supporting the implementation of quick wins and laying the groundwork for more significant changes and better performance. It fostered empathy between teams, creating stronger connections and promoting a culture of mutual support and shared success at HelloFresh.
