Have you heard of Slash Careers and Liquid Super Teams? In the dynamic world of vacation rentals, the ability to wear multiple hats isn't just an advantage—it's essential. From the beginning, many entrepreneurs and employees in smaller, bootstrapped companies take on a variety of roles. It is not uncommon when on early stages the owner of a property management company combines his CEO role with accounting, cleaning, and maintenance. Later down the road, you can see reservations/revenue managers or housekeeping/onboarding specialists, that is a perfect example of a “slash” career first introduced by Marci Alboher in 2007 that is getting popularity today. While there is a chance of burnout if not managed properly, such specialists make an invaluable asset in helping a company to grow without massive overheads on staff. Recently, I stumbled upon an enlightening concept in Forbes Russia's article, discussing "slash” careers within the cooperative post-pandemic economy. This piece introduced me to "Liquid Super Teams" (LST), where individuals come together temporarily to tackle specific challenges or projects. This model, inspired by NBA’s concept of #SuperTeams initiated by LeBron James, is highly pertinent in today’s market conditions when everyone is concentrated on efficiency. This also makes perfect sense with the rise of independent consultants and widespread layoffs of high commodity specialists from big companies. For property managers facing evolving challenges, adopting such Liquid Super Teams could significantly enhance operational efficiency. Suppose your goal is to increase revenue through #DirectBooking strategy, optimized #Distribution, and effective #DynamicPricing models. Instead of adding permanent staff, consider engaging a few high-caliber, cross-functional "slash" specialists on a project basis for a fraction of their full-time cost. These professionals can design and implement processes that can be automated or spread between existing employees and freelancers, thus improving your bottom line. With extensive experience in vacation rental revenue management/distribution/marketing, I'm ready to help elevate your property's performance and visibility. Over the past three months, I've worked with a few property managers across the US, utilizing proven tools and tailored strategies to improve OTA listing ratings and adapt to specific market conditions with existing tech stacks. Write in comments what “slash” career you or your employees embracing right now! 💡 Interested in boosting your property's performance or forming a Liquid Super Team to tackle exciting projects? Let's connect! I'm open for business and eager to collaborate. Here is a bit more on LST with a link to Packy McCormick's in depth article if someone it up to learn more on the subject: https://lnkd.in/g9fcSBBD #VacationRentals #ShortTermRentals #PropertyManagement #SlashCareers #LiquidSuperTeam

In the modern-day business arena, the role of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) transcends the traditional operational helm. As we sail into uncharted territories of digital realms, the compass of innovation becomes indispensable. The subject at hand, "The Innovation Imperative," delves into how COOs can be the linchpins in spearheading innovation through Digital Transformation, ensuring a seamless interchange of ideas and a resilient operational backbone. At the core, Digital Transformation is not a mere adoption of technology but a synergy of tech-driven innovation with human-centric approaches. It's about intertwining operational excellence with a culture of continuous learning and inclusive growth. For COOs, the challenge and the opportunity lie in orchestrating this amalgam, creating a conducive ecosystem where ideas flourish, adapt, and drive business forward. The journey from operational to innovative necessitates a mindset shift, fostering a culture that values diverse voices, embraces change, and strives for continuous betterment. This metamorphosis extends an invitation to every stakeholder to be a part of a larger narrative, a collective endeavor that transcends departmental silos and operational rigidity. As we traverse this path, the essence of innovation manifests in our ability to be agile, to learn and unlearn, and to meld the prowess of technology with the richness of diverse thought. It's about crafting a narrative where the operational backbone of organizations becomes a fountainhead of ideas, propelled by the winds of Digital Transformation. In closing, the voyage of a COO in today's dynamic landscape is akin to that of an adept captain steering through the turbulent waters of the digital age, with the compass of innovation guiding towards uncharted yet promising horizons. The future beckons with a promise of transformative change, an odyssey of endless possibilities. Let's embrace the Innovation Imperative, making waves in the boundless ocean of Digital Transformation. #DigitalTransformation #InnovationImperative #COOInsights

Radical vs incremental business transformation: Which, When and what to consider on the way...

Portfolio agility in business means a company's ability to quickly and effectively move its people and resources to different parts of the company when necessary. This flexibility helps the company adapt to changes, take advantage of new opportunities, and stay competitive in a fast-changing world. For example, if a product is suddenly in high demand, the company can quickly move more resources to make more of that product. And if something is no longer popular, they can shift resources to other areas. Portfolio agility lets a company be quick and adaptable when things change in the market or with customers. #Emeritus #WednesdayWisdom #BusinessFlexibility #AgileBusiness
