BWB#70: Survive to '25 (and beyond)

Published 19 days ago • 1 min read

Hello friends,

Greetings from Utrecht!

If you've been to any games industry events this year (and even if you haven't), you've heard the tag line:

"Survive to '25"

But what does that mean, exactly, and what can you do to increase your chances of survival?

This was the topic of my talk during Reboot Develop Blue 2024.

In my talk, I covered four main topics:

🛤️ How we got to this point

🏕️ How to survive to '25

🌱 How to thrive in '25

🔄 How our industry can change for the better

Check out my full talk in the video below:

See you in two weeks!

Hello friends, Greetings from Utrecht! I think this might be the first time I'm sending the newsletter on a Friday. Sometimes life happens, and that's ok. Today I'm sharing the core principles that underlie my approach to business coaching. This, together with the concept of the Three Arenas, makes up the foundation of my coaching method. Next week is GDC, and while I won't be there, I'll be rooting for you if you do make the pilgrimage to San Francisco. You're a better person than I am, and...

Hello friends, Greetings from Utrecht! After a bit of a slow start to the year, I can now feel things picking up all around me. The first events are behind us, and people are gearing up for GDC.
