Tremendously appreciated:  170 CIO´s (chief technology officers) at the CIOCITY 2015 “CIO of the Year Award” conference in Brussels rated Jazzcode 3.9 on a scale from 1-4 where 4=Excellent.  An elite group of senior leaders from all over Europe gathered for two days at a five star hotel in Brussels.  This included CIOs from Fortune 500 companies such as Coke, Audi and others.  Our talk on how to successfully manage complex situations requiring collaboration and timing (using jazz examples and featuring live music), was well received.  Here is what the client wrote:

Your speech was tremendously appreciated by the audience. With 92% of ‘excellent’ scores (and 100% of good to excellent), this is rather an achievement:
Carl Størmer was the highest ranked speaker at this two days even.

Gordon Cairns was the CEO of Australian Lion Nathan, a public company.  We both spoke at an Australian partner conference for a global accounting firm and he was kind enough to talk about the JazzCode:  Highly relevant and shows the leadership model of the 21st century where leadership is shared and rotated in a team. People did not want to stop clapping.

Recently we facilitated an offsite with a small management team for DnB NOR in New York.  Here is what the client wrote after the session:

“Carl and his JazzCode team made our management offsite really memorable, and I believe we already see a difference in our behavior pre- and post the JazzCode experience. This was a first step in an attempt to start transforming how we as a team interact and manage our business. We wanted to team with a partner who understood our organization, could related to the cultural dimensions and bring new ideas to a diversified and experienced team. I believe we hit bulls eye. The combination of the Harvard Business School case, the JazzCode Live session and our discussion around the “Stormer Framework for Interaction” – my interpretation of Carl’s model, triggered interesting conversations and ideas to analyze further. We are very grateful for JazzCode giving us such a solid push in the right direction. The key for us now is to follow through on our action items, and loop back to our discussions to keep the ideas alive. I will not be surprised if we continue exploring ways to improve how we work as a team with Carl.”

“As a side note I’d like to add that the musical performance in itself was an exceptional experience. Cameron Brown, Bruce Barth and Carl created an intimate and unique experience for our team that triggered renewed interest in Jazz.  A sincere thank you for that.”
