Robonautas (more info here) is a local business that teaches technology and robotics to kids between 6-12. How cool is that 🔝 !

The objective is for kids to acquire basic skills like teamwork 🤝, structured 🏗 thinking, self esteem 😀 via the weekly workshops.

Through our “Synergy Scholarship: investing in the future” all of us at Genesis Technologies are proud to help 10 young inventors to have access at a full year of Robonautas Jedi teachings.

Small actions with (hopefully) a BIG impact 💥 🏗 👶🏼

Business schools and success

July 24, 2018 by Wim GE De Vos Leave a Comment

So you wonder. Do I need to go to business school to be successful with my start-up?

Warren Buffets opinion:

Business schools reward difficult and complex behaviour more than simple behaviour. While simple behaviour is more effective.

It boils down to mastering the Art of Simple.

Bring order to chaos.
Serve your clients by making things easier.
Offer clarity and understanding.
Use a compass to navigate towards simple, not a map.

Simple will beat complex in the longer run. Always.

Growth partner: Origin Acoustics

June 26, 2018 by Wim GE De Vos 1 Comment

In a previous post I highlighted the importance of working with growth partners and the value + meta-value they bring. Todays spotlight is on Origin Acoustics.

We have been growing 🚀 the business together with Origin Acoustics just over a year. The result has been phenomenal 💥 in sales, market share and profit for both our partners and ourselves.

A quick look at Origin Acoutics according to the 3 criteria for growth partners I mentioned:

Growth: 🚀

market share: Origin Acoustics made it to the number 2 position in the CEPro100 list for architectural speakers in only their 4th year.
portfolio: Without a doubt the most complete range of architectural speakers on the market. Both for the home and superyachts.
numbers: Genesis Technologies is growing its business with Origin Acoustics triple digit in 2018. Not a coincidence. Proof of focus, dedication and a solid growth 🚀 partnership.

Innovation: 👩🏼‍🔬

products: Origin Acoustics brings several innovations to market year after year. The most significant probably still being the Zip-Clip which makes our specialist installers much more efficient in terms of labour, sales and cash-flow.
role in the value chain: by going beyond the offering of great products we share Origin Acoustics dedication to making our partners more successful. Support and tools that help our partners market, sell and install great systems is probably more important than the pure product spec.

Loyalty: 🙏🏻

Origin Acoustics is made up of people who live and die with the specialist installer channel. They are committed and focussed on making us all successful. Their actions from the past and promises for the future are as solid as a bank guarantee.
The team at Origin Acoustics has been standing shoulder to shoulder with us to meet, but more importantly to listen to our clients. This is how we become stronger as a tribe.

Together we will continue to shape and build our own future. And while doing so we will find great things ahead of us. The past and present have taught us that much so far.

Be well, be you.

And keep looking for growth partners 🚀🤝👩🏼‍🔬 if you want to create impact as a small business.
