At Casual Connect Europe in Amsterdam our co-founder and creative director Michael Kalkowski held a lecture about how company cultures can lead to success. By asking what motivates people and how companies manage their team cultures, Michael explained why some teams and companies produce world class results and others don’t.

In his presentation, titled “Team Cultures for Success", he pointed out critical factors that drive teams to creative excellence, as well as innovation and inspiration to successful breakthroughs. “The essence of successful companies lies in their underlying cultures and values. Failures should be used as a way of learning”, so Michael. He concluded that patience and team motivation are factors that every company should keep in mind when aiming for successful collaboration.
