INVENTURE

Teamwork development

Now we have been in Shanghai for almost six years. Our management style is disciplined and tight. Here we have succeeded, “said Sami Lampinen, Managing Director of Inventure Oy, a Finnish venture capital company.

Going to China was a big step, a great risk, and demanded strict leadership. “We went through the plan every month with a strict discipline. Communication, team building, quick decisions and ongoing risk management, at the best.

What was done?

“Cooperation with Delficon was close in 2008 and 2009. With Delficon, we built teams and created team-working practices. Despite the geographic distances, the management system had to function smoothly. Successful teams which were fit to our management strategies also made our way to the Asian market possible”.

Results and benefits

Asia meant new growth and investment opportunities for Inventure. “In addition to our team’s motivation, the driver was the desire to change the whole industry! Finnish high tech and environmental technology know-how has a huge potential market in China. Huge land has passed by the Americans in energy consumption. Pressure to manage the environment creates a propitious opportunity also for small and medium-sized Finnish technology companies.
