At AdvicePay, we are always looking for new ways to challenge ourselves and improve our current processes. One way we accomplish this is by hosting a "Ship-It Day" twice a year.
On Ship-It Day, everyone on our team works on any project they want with any team member they want. It is a great opportunity for team members who don't typically work together to collaborate. Ship-It Day is focused on sparking innovation and usually results in our team delivering a lot of work in a short amount of time. In fact, that's why we call it Ship-It Day -- by the end of the day, your project must be "delivered" to the rest of team.
Recently, we hosted Ship-It Day at our office and our team spent the entire day working on projects. Some used the day to catch up on internal initiatives, while others chose to bring new projects to life! Ship-It Day not only benefits our internal team (i.e. kegerator in the office), but it also benefits you -- the advisor!
One of the best parts of Ship-It Day is that we wrap up the day with a party! After presentations, the vibe is energetic and having a team party is a great way to continue the excitement from the day.
So, what are you waiting for? Host your own Ship-It Day and complete the projects that have been on your ongoing to-do list. Maybe you have been wanting to start a blog, develop an internship program, or create your own fee calculator templates! Setting aside even a portion of your day is a great way to spark creativity and deliver innovation overnight.
