As golf enters a new transformative era, the focus extends beyond just perfecting the swing.

Euan Gillon, the co-founder and CEO of Golf Traveller, seamlessly merges the world of golf with the ethos of 'conscious tourism’. A richer, more mindful approach to travel, conscious tourism invites us to see beyond the course, to the stories and legacies each destination holds.

However, even grand visions need expertise. Golf Traveller's innovative approach to golf tourism is no exception. It demands the right tools and knowledge to fully realize its potential. That’s where Eight Mercatus steps onto the green. Our strategic advisory has been a cornerstone for Golf Traveller's journey, aptly described by Euan as a “vital source of expertise”.

Golf Traveller, with its eyes set on the Asian market, finds value in tapping into Eight Mercatus' network. Euan credits Eight Mercatus for linking them with relevant business contacts and investors, and giving them a clearer understanding of the local scene to shape their strategies.

Keen to explore the confluence of golf and conscious tourism further? Stay tuned! The full article, detailing this pioneering journey, will be available soon on Eight Mercatus' website. 🌍⛳️

We had the great honour to interview Arto Joensuu, a renowned digital change agent from Finland. Arto is a former CEO of Dubizzle and the founder of Working in Digital.

He shares the importance of uncovering the core purpose and values of a startup before diving into strategy and ex*****on. Arto's philosophy of "Good things with good people" reinforces the understanding that digital triumph stems not only derives from adopting cutting-edge technologies but also from fostering purpose-driven cultures and collaborating with talented individuals.

Arto also beautifully compares a startup to a tree, where the roots represent the WHY (purpose) and WHO (values/culture). These dimensions are the roots that feed (and define everything) that a startup does. The HOW is then more of the strategic framework which is created to align the company efforts towards achieving certain business objectives. This forms the trunk of the tree and directs the energy and growth toward the branches and leaves. The WHAT is then the collection of day-to-day activities that are conducted all across the organization on a day-to-day basis. Just as a tree may look different depending on the time of year, the WHAT is a tangible snapshot of how a company is bringing its WHY and WHO to life at any given moment.

By understanding this holistic perspective, startups can ensure that their actions align with their purpose and values, creating a cohesive and impactful approach. Furthermore, these companies can also confidently navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape, overcome challenges, and thrive in their pursuit of success.

Stay ahead of the curve with data-driven decision-making! ✨

Leslie Chiang, an accomplished data scientist, shares invaluable advice with aspiring startup founders and entrepreneurs.

He is a strong believer in developing approximate solutions to relevant, yet vague questions, instead of striving for perfection on answers to wrong questions, that can be made precise.

He also understands common misconceptions and challenges in data-driven approaches, such as having the lack of clear goals or alignment, insufficient data infrastructure, and the existence of skills gaps with talent shortages.

Leslie emphasizes the need to facilitate goal-setting discussions and alignment. He feels that companies should also implement talent training and partnerships, as well as develop change management strategies to demonstrate value.

These insights can provide entrepreneurs with an effective roadmap for success in the dynamic and data-driven business world.
