CHANGE YOUR MEETINGS.
CHANGE YOUR CULTURE.
LOMO IS A WAY TO TALK/WORK TOGETHER
IN A GROUP THAT IS HIGH TRUST, FAST,
SELF-ORGANISED, DATA-DRIVEN, AND
VERY CLEAR AND HONEST

COMPANIES TELL US
THEY WANT TO BE:
1. FASTER AND MORE AGILE
2. OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
3. DRIVEN BY FEEDBACK
4. BASED ON TRUST NOT BLAME
5. LEARNING ORGANISATIONS

REAL CULTURAL PROGRESS IS
I read the book but I’m not
actually going to let my team
fail / make salaries public /
allow people to fire their
managers - srsly!
~ HARD ~

WE THINK MEETINGS ARE A JUICY
OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPANIES
TRYING TO SHIFT THEIR CULTURE

MOST PEOPLE GO TO LOTS OF THEM
THEY ARE A MAJOR SIGNPOST FOR CULTURE
THEY ARE A TANGIBLE INTERACTION YOU
CAN CHANGE
why?

PLUS MOST PEOPLE HATE MEETINGS
AND WOULD WELCOME THAT MAKES
THEM
1. MORE PRODUCTIVE
2. LESS FRUSTRATING
3. SHORTER

THE LOMO ECOSYSTEM OF MEETINGS MAKES IT SAFE
AND OBVIOUS HOW TO ACCESS A FAST, AGILE NEW
CULTURE.
LOMO IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN:
TRADITIONAL
CULTURE
(CONTROL & CERTAINTY)
FAST AGILE
CULTURE
(TRUST & COLLABORATION)

LoMo is
inspired by: OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY
CLEAN COMMS
AGILE
HOLACRACY
TEAL
LEAN START UP

IF YOU CAN CREATE A SHIFT IN MEETINGS, YOU CAN
CREATE A SHIFT IN YOUR WHOLE ORGANISATIONAL
MINDSET:
‘GROWN UPS’ IN CONTROL YOU’RE TRUSTED
COVER YOUR A*** MAKE RISK VISIBLE SOONER
GET PERMISSION FAIL AND LEARN FAST
WAIT TO BE TOLD YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE

A NUMBER OF CORPORATES AND LARGE
ORGANISATIONS ARE TRYING IT, WITH GREAT
RESULTS
“LoMo is the simplest way to access
the faster, more agile culture we are
running towards - and we have reduced
total meeting time by 70%.”

LOMO REDEFINES HOW PEOPLE CAN WORK AND
SHARE INFORMATION TOGETHER IN A GROUP
and provides a paper or digital
meeting canvas to work from so
that everyone feels safe moving
to a new way of working
