Remember when "chaos" used to get senior marketers all fired up? These days, it's a bit of a double-edged sword - scary, sure, but also packed with potential. We dove into this at our latest G-CMO gathering, named "Chaos Night." So, how do you roll with the punches and come out on top? Our G-CMO forum got the inside scoop from two top-notch consultancies, Firma. Business Design and Airfleet. They ran some killer workshops that flipped the script on chaos, turning it from a headache into a goldmine of strategy and fresh ideas. Our night kicked off with a classic coin toss, splitting us into Pink and Black teams. Each squad had its own mission to shake up our thinking and spark some creativity. Before jumping into the team challenges, we all huddled up for a quick share session. Turns out, everyone had some pretty wild stories about opportunities they'd grabbed (or totally whiffed on)! ⚫ The Black Team tackled a "premortem" workshop. Sounds morbid, right? But it was all about turning chaos-induced jitters into rock-solid strategy. They mapped out potential doomsday scenarios for a company and cooked up prevention plans for each one. Talk about thinking ahead! 🌸 Meanwhile, the Pink Team dove into the "Flying Elephants" workshop with Offer Brenner. They broke down chaos into categories and flipped potential nightmares into golden opportunities. The ideas they came up with? Absolutely mind-bending! By the time we left FIRMA's HQ, our brains were buzzing with fresh ideas. Thanks to our awesome facilitators and speakers, we all walked away ready to wrangle chaos and turn it into serious growth. Thank you to the FIRMA Team ( Doron Goldenberg, CEO, Adi Dinnar, Offer Brenner, Tamara Shavit) and the Airfleet Team (Elad Hefetz, David Drabkin, Roy Fruchter, Yuval Raz, Daniela Belaya) for organizing such an engaging and thought-provoking evening. Thank you to our dear photographer Sabine Sharon! We hope you were inspired and ready to turn challenges into opportunities and chaos into innovation! #GCMO #ChaosNight #Innovation #StrategicThinking #MarketingLeadership
