Rediscovering Focus with OurSails: A Game-Changer for Team Integration
In 2020, I found myself at the helm of a dynamic team of 50 talented individuals scattered across four time zones, from New York to Tokyo. We were navigating a $5 billion post-acquisition integration that was altering our work processes, all while adapting to the remote work environment imposed by the global pandemic. The lack of face-to-face interactions made it challenging for me and my leadership team to effectively convey our objectives.
Gone were the casual lunchtime chats, impromptu whiteboard sessions, and hallway conversations that once provided valuable insights into what motivated and inspired my team. To preserve our team’s vibrant culture, I resorted to video calls paired with one-on-one agendas in Google Docs. This approach was far from perfect and came with significant drawbacks:
The Struggles
- Copy / Paste / Miss: Gathering individual opinions required copying questions into each one-on-one document. Pasting the same bullet point into over 20 documents became a dreaded task, often leading to missed discussions.
- Nothing Was in Focus: Each document contained a chaotic mix of discussion points. With 17 different topics crammed onto a single page, tracking specific notes became an endless scroll fest.
- Missing What Matters: If teammates updated notes between meetings without tagging me, crucial details often went unnoticed. Important discussions got buried in unrelated content, making it difficult to keep track of key objectives and goals.
Despite these challenges, from 2020 to 2023, my team not only survived but thrived and grew rapidly. We delivered exceptional results but not without a fair share of mistakes and frustrations along the way. After experimenting with numerous tools and systems that never quite fit the bill, OurSails was born out of my determination to create a better solution.
