CES is chaos. There's no other way to describe it. 150 countries. 1400 startups. 4300 total exhibitors. 135,000 attendees. To get discovered in the chaos of it is one thing. But to get discovered AND to be applauded, amongst this vast pool of companies, was nothing short of a miracle. From the steady flow of attendees and tour groups to being honored with - not one - but two awards, our team was feeling the love for Lotus (Techstars'23)! But don’t take my word for it. Here is what some highly reputed journalists and content creators had to say: "While this tech can be useful for anyone, it’s refreshing to see a company that prioritizes those of us so often underserved." - Louryn Strampe, WIRED “This is a great example of repurposing old Tech into new Tech, in a smaller new format. And now people with movement disabilities can easily control parts of their home with a ring they have with them at all times." - Joshua Chang, YouTuber with over 185k subscribers “When the prototype I tried worked, it felt a bit like having a very specific kind of superpower, one I wouldn’t mind using in my daily life." - Chris Velazco, The Washington Post Folks just "get" our mission, and the need for accessible tech resonates so widely. Although Lotus has had plenty to celebrate since attending CES in January, it was a wonderfully chaotic way to kick off 2024. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gcasBRGG

I’ve learned a lot attending yesterday the Community-led World Summit! It was packed with insights from high energy speakers who shared their views on what community means and can unlock for a business and Tech organisations. Looking at them from a product/ large Tech organisation lens, here are the main trends & ideas I’m taking away to apply in my current role: 🔹 Embracing a “Commarketing” view in your alignment strategy: Quoting Michelle Goodall’s concept, community management is its own discipline and isn’t to compete against the Product marketing team effort. To create alignment, your need to find the win-wins and Senior people buy-in. Therefore, as a community leader, for an effective integration of your products with the wider business, you need to balance many perspectives while being strategic championing diverse viewpoints.   🔹 Listen to Understand – and not to react: Nikki Thibodeau shared the importance of how you position yourself when engaging with your community. This resonated a lot with my coaching background tapping on active listening and radical responsibility. Community for product development done right pushes you to show up with courage and transparency as a leader. 🔹 Master Product partnership for Community-led Innovation: I really enjoyed hearing Ruthie Berber’s insights about how flexible and strategic you have to be when managing communities while including Product teams as essential partners. To deliver the best products and client satisfaction, Product Community leads have to master the balancing act of being the voice of multiple perspectives across the business. 🔹 Great discussions with fellow Product Community leads about the evolution of the discipline: Especially with Sagar Chandni about the traits for talents to thrive in community focus roles with the differences & similarities between startup vs Enterprise organisations. Overall, it’s interesting how much versatility is needed, so you adapt your communication & leadership style according to the needs of your community. It’s been amazing how people at the event have generously shared their insights! And the common theme from those take away? While Community is a lot of operations – with a LOT of platforms and shiny objects released with AI - it’s first and foremost a lot of mindset and stepping into strategically influencing the wider business, so you connect the dots between the organisation goals and the people. Thanks again for the event organiser Francisco Opazo & host Akash Agrawal! #CommunityLedWorldSummit2024 #ProductCommunity
