At the beginning of January, the whole team gathered to talk about what we wanted to achieve in 2022 and how we would do it. We had not all been together since mid-2020, so the meeting was filled with joy, emotion, and one apple pie. Before turning to the future, however, we paused to take stock of what we had accomplished in 2021.
The list turned out to be surprisingly long. Seeing everything together in one place made even us pleasantly surprised—and eager to share it. So here is 2021 in brief:
#culture
We launched a large-scale organizational culture-management project for an international holding company operating in more than six countries. We will continue working on it this year with just as much energy and enthusiasm.
#assessment
More than 100 managers took part in Assessment Centers led by our team of SHL-certified assessors.
#strategy
As an approved consultant under the EBRD program supporting growing businesses in Bulgaria, we launched two more strategic business-development projects with tech companies.
#skills
We trained nearly 100 trainers in the finer points of online learning—a format we ourselves had rapidly refined throughout 2020.
We delivered five management academies attended by more than 70 managers and team leaders.
More than 300 salespeople and specialists from different companies also took part in our skills-development training.
#team
We welcomed three new colleagues: Vesela and Snezhina joined our #assessment practice as assessors, while Alexandra strengthened our #skills team with her experience as a trainer.
Thanks to Mila and Silvia, we also welcomed two lively babies, who confidently took the floor—even online—during our annual meeting. 🙂
Although we enjoy meeting in person whenever we can, we now work successfully remotely most of the time. In addition to Sofia, Veliko Tarnovo, and Plovdiv, in 2021 we worked from 11 other locations in Bulgaria and beyond—including a petrol station near Pazardzhik, a boat in Greece, and a small house in the village of Krivina. 🙂
#clients
During the year, we established partnerships with eight companies new to us across technology, finance, banking, insurance, and pharmaceuticals. We met many new people and look forward to tackling more interesting challenges with them this year.
That was 2021. We are ready to dive into 2022!
