Ignite Potential: A New Chapter for Talkspirit

Dear Trailblazers, Innovators, and Change-makers,

Today marks a thrilling milestone in our journey. We're not just turning a page; we're writing an entirely new book. Talkspirit and Holaspirit are joining forces under a unique brand with the launch of our new website, and I'm buzzing with excitement to share this transformation with you.

The Dawn of a New Era

Our journey began 20 years ago when I co-founded Talkspirit together with Olivier Ricard, driven by a shared vision to revolutionize workplace communication. As we grew and evolved, we saw an opportunity to address another critical aspect of organizational success, in relation to new ways of working. This led to the creation of Holaspirit in 2015, a platform designed to promote clear role definition and agility within organizations. Throughout this journey, Olivier's technical expertise as CTO has been instrumental in translating our vision into robust, user-friendly platforms. Our long-standing partnership and complementary skills have been the cornerstone of our success, allowing us to continuously innovate and adapt to the changing needs of modern workplaces. 

For years, Talkspirit and Holaspirit have shared a common mission: enabling organizations to work more effectively and foster agility to unlock their full potential. In time, as the needs of organizations have grown more complex, we recognized that continuing to develop two separate platforms was limiting. This is why today we start merging our expertise under one unique brand: Talkspirit. 

Going forward we are streamlining our existing Talkspirit and Holaspirit offerings into a modular platform that better adapts to the specific needs of organizations and seamlessly integrates with existing IT infrastructures. Our aim is to enable organizations to leverage their collective intelligence in face of complexity and uncertainty, creating workplaces that inspire innovation and drive meaningful change in the world. This transformation isn’t just about optimizing our product portfolio—it’s about amplifying our impact.

Welcome to the Future of Work

Today, with the launch of our unique brand Talkspirit through our new website, we're starting to fuse the power of Talkspirit and Holaspirit to create something truly revolutionary - a modular tech platform that ignites the potential within every organization, every team and every individual. A platform that simplifies collaboration, streamlines communication and optimizes governance for more efficient teamwork. 

Building on our two decades of expertise, we are embarking on a mission to build the preferred operating system for organizations that place their purpose at the heart of their operations. These organizations don’t just strive for profit; they are committed to making a positive and meaningful impact in the world, whether that’s through sustainability, social equity, or by fostering innovation.

By building an operating system we mean more than software. We mean an adaptive suite of tools and services that integrates with and supports every organization's core work processes, practices, and principles, in alignment with its purpose.

As we unfold this new chapter of our existence this year, the Holaspirit brand will gradually fade into the background, making way eventually for a converged product and customer services that combine the collaborative power of Talkspirit with the shared governance expertise of Holaspirit. It isn't just a merger we are kicking off today; it's a true metamorphosis. 

Beyond the Platform: Strategic Partnerships to Transform Organizations

While developing our platform is at the heart of our evolution, we know that tools alone are not enough in enabling successful organizational transformations. That’s why we’re building an ecosystem of services and strategic partnerships. From onboarding workshops to strategic consulting, our goal is to support organizations at every stage of their transformation journey in collaboration with our partners. Our ambition is to provide the infrastructure and the expertise needed to make purpose-driven work not just possible, but efficient and successful.

In our quest for innovation, we're turning to one of the greatest designers of all - nature. By embracing biomimicry-inspired principles, we're not just creating tools for managing teamwork; we're aiming to enable ecosystems to thrive. Like a forest that grows through interconnectedness, Talkspirit will foster together with our partners ecosystem environments where innovative ideas cross-pollinate and flourish. Together with our inspiring partner networks - NextGen, Corporate Rebels, Purpose Network to mention just a few - we are dedicated to inspiring and enabling organizational change. 

A Complex Challenge for Our Team

Merging Talkspirit and Holaspirit is like conducting a complex symphony, where every line of code, every design choice, and every integration represents a note in our composition and our quest to add value to our clients. What we're undertaking is not just a technical challenge – it's a transformative mission.

The journey we are embarking on will test our technical expertise, creativity, and collaborative spirit. We're not just building a product; we're architecting the future of work. To my team: the complexity we're navigating is precisely what makes our endeavor extraordinary. Each obstacle we overcome, each innovative solution we design, brings us closer to creating a platform that will empower organizations worldwide to fulfill their purpose.

Remember, the most groundbreaking innovations emerge from precisely these moments of intense challenge and collective creativity. We are the architects of a new digital ecosystem, bridging communication, collaboration, and governance in ways never seen before. Our work transcends coding – we're reimagining how teams will connect, collaborate, and create value.

Tech Made in Europe, for the World

We're proud to wave the European flag in the tech world. Our commitment to human-centered tech development isn't just a feature - it's our DNA. We're here to lead by example and show that it is possible to be a global player while staying true to values of privacy, sustainability, and ethical innovation. 

Let’s Ignite Potential Together

To our cherished clients and partners: you've been the wind beneath our wings since the beginning of our journey, and we could not be more grateful. Together, let's ignite the potential that lies within our organizations, our teams, and ourselves. Let's create workplaces that don't just function, but flourish and lead to a positive impact in the world. 

The future of work isn't something that happens to us - it's something we create together. If you’re ready to be part of this movement, we invite you to explore our solutions and join us as a partner.
