Two days. One team
Plenty of strong opinions!

Last week, the leadership team from Springboard Network gathered for a strategy session hosted by Friday – at their brand-new HQ at Fyrstikktorget in Oslo. A former match factory (!) where raw brick walls meet modern office design. A setting with real character – and the perfect space for big thinking.

• AI and security are playing an increasingly central role in Cisco’s portfolio and our business. We explored AI in Cisco – how Cisco is embedding artificial intelligence directly into its platforms and products to drive smarter networks and greater efficiency. And AI on Cisco – how Cisco infrastructure provides the foundation to run, secure, and scale AI solutions across any organization. In short: AI as both engine and passenger in a powerful network.
• We also turned the spotlight inward: How can we lift each other as a group? And how do we strengthen the Springboard Network across our brands – AVIT, Wingmen, Friday, and system.de

A special thanks to Friday Networks and Svein Lerkerød for sharing your incredible location with us. We loved your reception area – Cisco awards and vintage phones side by side. A perfect snapshot of your roots in Collaboration.

We sparked something – now it’s up to us to spread the energy throughout our organizations.
