TLG#77: Introducing The LONG GAME Performance Report


Issue #77

Hello friends,

Greetings from Utrecht!

Not everyone I talk to is ready to jump head-first into a coaching trajectory.

Some companies first want to know where they stand, what works and what doesn't.

They want assurances that their current structures, processes and habits will be built upon, not changed for the sake of change.

They prefer advice that is specific to their exact situation and make-up.

And they want this up-front, rather than work through it together as part of the coaching process.

This is why I'm launching the LONG GAME Performance Report.

A comprehensive analysis of the elements that drive your studio’s long-term performance, and tailored advice for taking each element to the next level.

Read on for the full description, as well as a limited, reader-only discount.

The LONG GAME Performance Report

At some point, you just feel it.

You should be capable of more, but for some reason it’s just not happening.

And it’s hard to pinpoint any obvious causes, making it near-impossible to start working towards lasting solutions.

That’s where the LONG GAME Performance report comes in.

This report looks at the foundational elements in every company that drive performance, based on my coaching work with 70+ founders and leaders in the videogame industry.

Specifically, I look for fit and completeness.

Fit: Do the management elements of your company add up to a logical whole?

Completeness: Have you taken care of the fundamentals, or are there any gaps?

The report includes a self-assessment element, expert analysis of your actual goals, structures and processes, as well as tailored advice for improving on each of these elements

All of this will be summarized in a 20+ page document, to be discussed in a 60 minute, recorded call.

With this report, you’ll become acutely aware of your strengths and weaknesses in how you run your business.

And thanks to my tailored advice, you’ll know exactly what to do to take each element to the next level.

And, as a thank you to my long-term readers, the first 5 people to use the code "TLGNL" will get € 300 off at checkout.

Issue #78 Hello friends, Greetings from Utrecht! I'm in the middle of my busiest month of the year - somehow all of my big deliverables seem to have concentrated in September - but I'm not too busy to share some hot tips on feedback! This topic comes up a lot in my coaching - either because clients ask about it, or because it becomes clear that feedback is not being shared and received effectively in the studio. So I've put some thoughts on paper that have stuck with me over the years, in the...

Issue #76 Hello friends, Greetings from sunny Zutendaal! I'm writing this edition from a little cabin in Belgium, where I'm enjoying some much needed time off with my family before I head to gamescom next week. Every year I try to stick to a one-on-one-off meeting schedule, and every year I end up almost fully booked anyway, running from one meeting to the next. I actually did manage to reserve some time this year, but I'm sure I'll slot in some last-minute catch-ups before the week is over....
