On September 12 Finwire set the new semester in motion with a kickoff at our new office in Gothenburg. We gathered our colleagues from Stockholm and Bosnia to focus on teambuilding, visualizing our future and meeting with our partners.
During the afternoon our CEO Mats Hård did a briefing on where the company is at and what the coming months has to offer. We later were joined by our partners Millistream who updated us on their operations which also led to some interesting discussions about our mutual markets and challenges.
Later it was time for the team to head over to Gothenburg Escape room for some teambuilding exercises and lastly a tasty dinner at Schnitzelplatz Lagerhuset.
FINWIRE IN TEN YEARS
A key question for the kick-off was to visualize Finwire in ten years. How will our day to day operations be different and what challenges will we face? How will the media landscape change and how will that affect our business?
Not surprisingly the discussion led to the future with AI and how it will have an impact on media and finance. The discussions partly focused on how AI already is changing the content of our news and how it will most likely be even more automated and individually suited for the reader and customer.
During the session we also discussed our office landscape and how we as employees want to work in ten years. Some goals and ideas were mentioned and one of them was to preserve our culture of openness and kindness as a team. There was also a discussion on how to balance the company’s growth and being able to keep the benefits of being a smaller organization.
When you visualize your company in ten years – what would you like to see and what possible challenges might there be?
