Every organization has people quietly holding the entire operation together.
Today’s a good day to thank them.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to all the tireless data drivers!
Celebrating another year of Jason Taft at Sylver Consulting 🎉

We’re sharing a “Day in the Life” look behind the scenes, from snooze button battles to deep work blocks.
Check it out! 👇
Sustainability is innovation with a longer time horizon.
Happy Earth Day! 🌎
A lot of impact happens in small decisions.
The conversations and tradeoffs. The quiet shifts.
That’s where real progress tends to build.
Earth Day is a great reminder to never underestimate the impact of small movements. 🌎
Question for leaders:
What’s one assumption your organization treats like a fact?
This conversation is from 2022…and it’s more relevant now than when we first shared it.
Featuring Innovation Coach & Facilitator Maria Duloquin and Design System Product Manager Mudassir Azeemi, this session gets into what really happens when culture and design collide.

If your project timeline has the word “quick” in it…
It’s time to talk about scope.
The most overlooked leadership skill in innovation:
Helping people feel safe enough to create change.

Big moment for Sylver Consulting! 🇺🇸✈️🇧🇷
After working side by side for months (remotely), our VP, Adriano Galvao, is finally meeting our Graphic Designer, Matheus de Assunção, in person!
We love being an international team! 💙
Consulting Steps:
1. Ask the obvious question.
2. Realize no one asked it yet.
3. Discuss.
4. Repeat.
When you hear the word “should,” STOP because anyone can fall for that trap...even NASA.
A while back, a team at NASA came to us with a clear request: Help us improve our collaboration platform so people actually use it.
Sounds simple enough, right?

Tax Day reminder for leaders and professionals everywhere:
Avoidance rarely makes problems smaller.
Momentum comes from looking at the problem differently, not pushing harder.
Happy Work Anniversary, Peter Burgi! 🎉

The scariest sentence in a kickoff meeting:
“We already know the answer.”
Healthy teams outperform brilliant individuals.
#WorldHealthDay
Strategy work gets a lot easier the moment you stop solving the wrong problem.
Fresh starts are usually quieter than you expect. 🤫
More reflection than reset.
More adjustment than overhaul.
We’ve been in that space lately, and we’re excited to see the growth that comes out of it! 🌷
Momentum is built by doing, not overthinking or rumination.
When you find yourself circling the same thoughts, give yourself the JFDI pep talk.
Just Freakin’ Do It (JFDI)… you’ve likely spent more time thinking about doing the thing than what it would have taken to actually do the thing.
If your stakeholders feel anxious but no one names it…
That anxiety will drive the project anyway.

People often mistake validation as the goal of research.
Successful teams know better.
Sometimes clarity contradicts.
