Jonathan Omar was one of our Prodactive prize-winners who we sponsored to attend Smartsheet ENGAGE London on 14-15 May 2024, having been selected by our independent panel of judges for his entry to our competition. And he couldn't have been more excited, especially when he turned up on Day 2 of the event wearing the Prodactive T-shirt and hung out with the team in between attending sessions on Bridge, Control Center and Data Table!So we asked Jonathan, who is a System Development Analyst at ITM Communications Limited, to share a little about himself and his experience before he hung up his Prodactive T-shirt and headed back to ITM Communications to put his new-found learnings and knowledge into practise...And if you're interested in reading his winning entry that bagged him the ticket: "With an unwavering passion for Smartsheet. I am dedicated to redefining my companies processes and workflows. ENGAGE London offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow Smartsheet innovators, sharing insights and strategies to unlock its full potential. By immersing myself in this vibrant community, I anticipate invaluable networking opportunities, enriching my understanding and expanding my capabilities. Attending ENGAGE isn't just about personal growth—it's about harnessing collective wisdom to drive impactful change. Selecting me as the winner will not only amplify my journey but also contribute to our shared pursuit of excellence and innovation in the realm of Smartsheet solutions."#smartsheet #smartsheetENGAGE #ikigai

In addition to helping organisations across the world transform execution and unlock potential in their results and their people through the power of Smartsheet, at Prodactive we are running a programme in partnership with TechVets and the Forces Employment Charity to support UK Armed Forces Leavers in their transition to a civilian career and unlock their potential.Smartsheet are very generously providing complementary access to the Smartsheet platform for UK Armed Forces leavers for a 12-month period, which eligible people can sign up to within 6 months of leaving or having left regular service. Meredyth Grant kindly interviewed me for the TechVets news channel and delved a bit deeper into my journey from my early career in the British Army and my transition to a career beyond the military, and my reasons for setting up the Smartsheet for Armed Forces Leavers Programme.The aim is very simple and it's core to our mission at Prodactive - helping unlock potential in others to help them operate at #peakhuman.If you're interested in finding out more: https://lnkd.in/eiPQGyXv #smartsheet #veterans #ikigai

What does a baby giraffe on roller skates look like? That's how Lee Davey described himself when starting to use Smartsheet, but meeting him last week, he was nothing of the sort!Lee was one of our Prodactive prize-winners who we sponsored to attend Smartsheet ENGAGE London on 14-15 May 2024, having been selected by our independent panel of judges for his entry to our competition. And what a great choice - he wouldn't have been able to attend without winning a ticket and he got so much out of it!So we asked Lee, who is a Digital TransformationLead at Talent Systems, LLC, to share a little about himself and his experience...And if you're interested, here was his winning entry: "My Smartsheet knowledge? Baby giraffe on roller skates. But with ENGAGE, I'll transform into a PMO gazelle, leading 231 employees to project management nirvana! Skip ENGAGE and I'll need 5 hours of Prodactive's CPR to revive this project. Invest in my win, and you'll invest in 231 future Smartsheet champions!"#smartsheet #smartsheetENGAGE #ikigai

At Prodactive we love a good transformation... after all, that's what we're about: transforming execution and unlocking potential. So we thought it was time for a bit of a design transformation at Prodactive - after all, we had been told our logo looked like the back end of a bus (an electric one, that is). The team has been growing and we're delighted to be working with an increasing range of clients from around the world, from Australia and Angola, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, Ireland and India, as well as across Europe and North America.So here's a little video to tell the story and re-introduce the growing team... If you're yet to meet us, we're experts in Smartsheet, the leading Enterprise-grade work collaboration platform used by thousands of companies across the world seeking to work better, enabling teams to collaborate seamlessly and for management teams to have real-time visibility of the work being done (or not) and a single version of the truth. We also come with many years industry experience from a wide range of sectors and disciplines, in particular transformation and project execution, so leverage this real-world experience to help organisations not only implement technology, but also guide them as they adapt their processes and up-skill their people... after all, it's a combination of people + process + technology that makes the winning formula.And if you're still managing your projects and processes in Excel, hats off to you... you're clearly working harder than everyone else 😰 #smartsheet #peakhuman #worksmarternotharder #ikigai

What a blast of a week at Smartsheet ENGAGE London... what a pleasure to catch up with so many friends from the Smartsheet community, to meet many in person for the first time and to make a whole pile more! And to witness the buzz and energy from people on a common mission to transform execution and unlock potential in their organisations - many undergoing significant personal transformations in the process...If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm guessing you haven't yet witnessed the magic you can do with Smartsheet to accelerate performance, collaboration and visibility...Yet the added bonus for me was to witness the transformation in the Prodactive team as Marce Holzhauzen, Suzie A., Akber M. and Charles McKinney got to experience ENGAGE for the first time and we spend real quality time bonding as a full team along with Fiona Roncal and Philip R., and coming away with our passion to unlock potential in others amplified, our shared values clearer than ever, and our commitment to continue to 'be more pirate'... What a fitting end to the event than to head down the Thames at high speed on a rib with the team! And if you want a rundown of who's who at Prodactive, there's a special clip at the end of the video! #smartsheetENGAGE #peakhuman #ikigai

I’ve always loved driving projects! In the front seat for this one - clearly I’ve got the ‘knowledge’ 😉Brilliant to see the fantastic campaign from Smartsheet hitting the streets and billboards of London to help rescue people from mediocre project execution… knowledge of Smartsheet is no longer just underground!#smartsheetENGAGE #peakhumam

Big and exciting week ahead with the Smartsheet ENGAGE inaugural conference in London. And we'll be sporting our new branding on our T-shirts so I couldn't resist taking one for a test run and hitting the trails... after all, there's not going to be much time for running this week and not long until our Big Adventure 2024 on 8-9 June where Philip R. and I will be running a lap of the Isle of Wight (70 miles) in support of Scotty's Little Soldiers, ably supported by Fiona Roncal and Suzie A....We've got an event website if you want to check out our training progress, learn more about Scotty's Little Soldiers and show your support, or make an early-bird entry to our competition to guess the time it will take us to complete the lap https://lnkd.in/ePSF2B-G. #smartsheet #ikigai #peakhuman

30 days until Prodactive's 'Big Adventure' 2024 on 8-9 June!! And this year we're delighted to be supporting Scotty's Little Soldiers, a hugely impactful charity that supports children of UK servicemen and women who lost their lives while serving their country.At Prodactive we like to do an annual adventure that stretches us... this typically involves combining running long distances and Smartsheet, which are shared passions for Philip R. and me. People usually ask who we are raising money for and the answer is typically "nope, we're doing it for the hell of it..."But that's not good enough... We firmly believe in supporting people to achieve their potential and that's what we do day-in-day-out at Prodactive through Smartsheet. In line with supporting UK service leavers through the Smartsheet for Armed Forces Leavers Programme we launched last year, we felt our Big Adventure was the perfect way to show our support for Scotty's.So what's the plan? Having headed to the wilds of Scotland to run the East Highland Way (82 miles) and West Highland Way (96 miles) in previous years, this year we're headed to the Isle of Wight to run a lap of the island, which is 70 miles. This time we're not carrying our 10kg packs and running self-supported (with tents etc), as we're being joined by the wonderful Fiona Roncal and Suzie A., although they have decided to support us from a car rather than run, but it's still a hefty challenge as we've allowed ourselves 2 days, rather than 3 days for the event.We've set up a dashboard (using Smartsheet clearly) if you're interested to find out more and how much or little training we've been doing compared to previous years. https://lnkd.in/ePSF2B-GWe've also set up a JustGiving page if anyone would like to show their support for Scotty's and our challenge. https://lnkd.in/ev9aFkcbWe'll also be running a competition to predict our total running time like last year - so more on that to follow!If you're on or near the Isle of Wight that weekend or would like to join us for some (or all) of the run, let us know! If not, we'll be 'smartsheet blogging' it like last year https://lnkd.in/eCaH6Uqy#smartsheet #ikigai #ribit
