This month, your Troika group is tasked with collaborating to create a fictitious business that showcases the unique talents and expertise of all three members.
The Challenge:
Think creatively: Blend your skills, industries, and ideas.
Collaborate effectively: Build trust, connection, and synergy.
Present your concept: Share your innovation with the group at the February 2025 meeting.
Deadline: Sign up here by EOD on 2/6/2025 to secure your time slot to present to our group on Monday, 2/10/2025
There were quite a few attendees present in the December meeting, but it's unclear how many groups will make it to the Feb 10th meeting to present their ideas…so it’s safest for each group to plan on a 5-minute presentation.
If we end up with more time (fewer groups) we can let each group run a bit longer – we’ll want to leave time for feedback & discussion among all attendees regardless, b/c that’s what will catalyze the PR value for each group presenting in terms of raising all attendees’ awareness of how innovative you are, how well you present, etc. so they can imagine how great you’ll be when they refer you to their clients!
You’re welcome to include whatever form of multi-media content that you’re able to pull off through our Zoom meeting format. 😊
The Prize:
Be crowned Innovators of PVIAG and earn the admiration of your peers as the most creative, collaborative Troika!
Receive a coveted piece of PVIAG swag, pictured at right:
Be on deck to lead a future programming session for our group, engaging other members in a deep-dive, case study, or CEO round table discussion about your innovative fictitious business.
Let the innovation begin—together, we build brilliance!
We'll be shaking up our standard meeting agenda this month, in the sprit of innovation (all times below in PST):
Dynamic Breakout Networking (11:30am – 11:45am)
Don't be late!
What’s the most innovative idea you’ve seen in your industry this year?
Collaborative Innovation Exchange (11:45am – 12:00pm)
come prepared to get more airtime!
GL & EC Introductions (12:00pm – 12:10pm)
1-minute each
Breakout Troika Challenge (12:10pm – 12:15pm)
Skip the back & forth emails by scheduling your troikas troikas live, during the meeting!
Then during your actual troika later, work together to develop a creative “new business idea” that combines all participants’ respective expertise.
Then you'll have an opportunity to pitch your new business idea to the group for feedback and fun group discussion at our Feb 10th meeting in 2025. Whee!
Fun Testimonials & Announcements (12:15pm – 12:40pm)
Rapid-Fire Wins: Speed up the pace for excitement!
Short, celebratory announcements of client successes or recent innovative collaborations between members
The Origin Story for The Innovation That Won the War! (12:40pm – 1:15pm)
The Jeep isn’t just a car, it’s a cult: inspiring clubs, meetups, even its own “Jeep Wave.” From cameos in M*A*S*H to Mean Girls, the Jeep’s been ranked the most patriotic brand in America for 20-straight years (sorry, Coke). But did you know that Jeep actually started as a group project? Learn how three fiercely competitive rivals came together for some emergency teamwork to help Allied Forces win WWII, how a freelance designer almost didn’t get the credit, and how its name was (maybe) inspired by a mythical character from Popeye. Jeep isn’t just the world’s most epic 4x4… it literally saved the world.
Introductions from New Participants (1:15pm – 1:30pm)
If this is your first time here, we want to get to know you!
