WHY MEETINGS ARE THE SECRET TO UNLOCKING A FASTER, MORE AGILEculture

LoMoLOW TECH MOMENTS

CHANGE YOUR MEETINGS. CHANGE YOUR CULTURE.


LOMO IS A WAY TO TALK/WORK TOGETHER IN A GROUP THAT IS HIGH TRUST, FAST, SELF-ORGANISED, DATA-DRIVEN, AND

VERY CLEAR AND HONEST

COMPANIES TELL US THEY WANT TO BE:

1. FASTER AND MORE AGILE

2. OPEN AND TRANSPARENT

3. DRIVEN BY FEEDBACK

4. BASED ON TRUST NOT BLAME

5. LEARNING ORGANISATIONS


REAL CULTURAL PROGRESS IS

I read the book but I’m not actually going to let my team

fail / make salaries public / allow people to fire their

managers - srsly!

~ HARD ~



WE THINK MEETINGS ARE A JUICY OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPANIES TRYING TO SHIFT THEIR CULTURE

MOST PEOPLE GO TO LOTS OF THEM

THEY ARE A MAJOR SIGNPOST FOR CULTURE

THEY ARE A TANGIBLE INTERACTION YOU CAN CHANGE


why?

PLUS MOST PEOPLE HATE MEETINGS AND WOULD WELCOME THAT MAKES

THEM

1. MORE PRODUCTIVE2. LESS FRUSTRATING

3. SHORTER



THE LOMO ECOSYSTEM OF MEETINGS MAKES IT SAFE AND OBVIOUS HOW TO ACCESS A FAST, AGILE NEW

CULTURE.

LOMO IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN:

TRADITIONAL CULTURE

(CONTROL & CERTAINTY)

FAST AGILE CULTURE

(TRUST & COLLABORATION)

LoMo is inspired by: OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY

IF YOU CAN CREATE A SHIFT IN MEETINGS, YOU CAN CREATE A SHIFT IN YOUR WHOLE ORGANISATIONAL MINDSET:


‘GROWN UPS’ IN CONTROL YOU’RE TRUSTED

COVER YOUR A*** MAKE RISK VISIBLE SOONER

GET PERMISSION FAIL AND LEARN FAST

WAIT TO BE TOLD YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE

A NUMBER OF CORPORATES AND LARGE ORGANISATIONS ARE TRYING IT, WITH GREAT

RESULTS


“LoMo is the simplest way to access the faster, more agile culture we are

running towards - and we have reduced total meeting time by 70%.”

LOMO REDEFINES HOW PEOPLE CAN WORK AND SHARE INFORMATION TOGETHER IN A GROUP

and provides a paper or digital meeting canvas to work from so that everyone feels safe moving

to a new way of working
