Run one open global call every Monday.

technique — attributed to Colja Dams

Every Monday morning, every VOK DAMS office in the world dials into a single meeting open to everyone. Teams present projects, flag active RFPs, and ask questions into the group. Someone in one office needs a specialist in southern France; someone in another office knows one. The exchange happens weekly, across every time zone the agency occupies. Dams treats it as the connective tissue that keeps a global organization from becoming a collection of independent outposts. The ritual is deliberately simple. Its power is in the cadence, not the format.

For leaders of multi-office or distributed event organizations. The design choices that matter: one call, not regional ones; open to all levels; project needs voiced aloud rather than routed through management.
