⏰ One week to go before the next DevOps Finland meetup kindly hosted by Smartly! Our Founder & CEO Jacob Lärfors will deliver an intriguing talk: "Stop polishing turds and start delivering value for your users" 🤨 #devops #meetup #platformengineering #valuestreams

Inspired by this year’s VeriConf, Albert reflects on what makes Verifa a community and how that benefits our customers as well as the crew. 💬  “It’s not just Verifa itself that benefits from this communal mindset. All our customers are positively impacted by the Verifa mindset too. The support I receive from my colleagues helps me serve my customers better than I ever could alone.” 💬  “By staying connected to Verifa, I can take a step back, gain fresh perspectives and avoid tunnel vision. The diversity of ideas and experiences gives me insights which help my customers. It’s not about time spent; it’s about using that time wisely. To ensure that our impact at the customers is targeting the actual problems and not just quick fixes for the symptoms.” 💬  “When you work with one of us, you’re not just getting a consultant - you’re getting the support, knowledge and insights of the entire Verifa crew.” More reflections from Albert over here ➡️ https://buff.ly/3YeSfdK #companyculture #community

🥳 We all know the benefits of a great company culture. 🤔 But how do you foster that and create a true community feel? ➕ Then add on the fact that you’re a consultant so most of your working time is spent with your customer rather than your company. Here’s how we do it: 🎉  VeriFriday 🎉   Dedicated time away from customers to improve, reflect, share and discuss ideas - either together or individually. 🎉  VeriConf 🎉    An annual retreat where we meet, bond and dig into the future (and past) of Verifa and the industry. 🎉  Opt-ins 🎉    The freedom to participate in initiatives that align with our passions. And the freedom to take responsibility and drive whatever we find is important. 🎉  Transparent Economy 🎉    The economy is fully transparent - even our salaries are in the open - which fosters trust, collaboration and understanding. 🎉  Friday-feelings 🎉    A weekly meeting where we are encouraged to share the emotions we’ve experienced during the week. 🎉  Seed2Tree 🎉    A space to discuss ideas which could grow into well-defined problem descriptions or solutions resulting in blog posts, new products and meet-up topics. Thanks to Albert for articulating this so well and explaining how this helps not only the employee but also delivers value to our customers.

💬 It takes a village to raise a child - old proverb 👶 Our CEO, Jacob Lärfors, recently likened Verifa to a growing child, with us as its nurturing parents. While this analogy holds true, Albert believes we're more like a vibrant community, each playing a crucial role in shaping Verifa's future. ✍️ Inspired by this notion, Albert put pen to paper for his first Verifa blog! He breaks down what this approach really means. ❓What are the practical aspects that make us a community? ❓How does this benefit not only our crew but also our customers?
