Choosing from “yes”, “no”, or “we don’t have the data yet”: Are employees more productive when they’re allowed to work from home? In a debate that’s raged in our lives since 2020, the jury’s still out. 🧑‍⚖️

Your staff, your mates, and strangers in the street will tell you how productive they are from home… but only 12% of leaders are buying it. 

But whatever the truth, trust levels this low means there’s a growing market for remote work goal tracking.

Love or hate them, OKRs are not going away - especially as we’re not just goal tracking from office (GTFO) anymore.

Tability is helping transform what used to be a tedious reporting task into an engaging, collaborative activity – shifting orgs from output to outcomes, with total team buy-in. 

Co-founders and ex-Atlassians Sten Pittet and Bryan Schuldt are helping global teams zoom out to the earth-moving vision behind their company’s existence, or drill down into the daily tasks that work towards it. 

Tability’s AI even suggests appropriate goals – learning what “efficiency” means to an org, then driving and replicating it over time. 🤖

It’s not only bloody clever, but it’s sparking a shift towards a more adaptive and results-oriented culture within organisations.

The likes of Google, Amazon and Shell are already using it across their teams.

And Tability themselves have been fully remote since day one... so the software must be working. 🤷

There was a time when online ads seemed like they would replace physical ones for good. But thanks to digitisation, we're no longer talking about neglected paper billboards peeling on the highway... 🪧 

There's so much more going on behind the scenes – interactive displays, augmented reality, Anamorphic 3D and 4K video, and animation are helping to fuel growth in the digital out-of-home (DOOH) market.

In the not-so-distant future, facial recognition and AI will create personalised experiences for each passerby. 🦾

Traditional advertising isn’t going anywhere. 

But existing processes for managing, scheduling, and changing over ads are built on old architecture, time-consuming, siloed, and error-prone. Not to mention expensive – putting advertising income streams out of reach for many small venues.

Doohly solves this problem by automating all of these processes – offering a complete operating system for digital out-of-home ads.

It's currently powering content on thousands of screens across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK, and that footprint is growing daily. 🌏

Today we’re excited to welcome co-founders Sean Law and Thomas Sawkins to the Skalata portfolio!

We're joined by our good mates at Archangel Ventures, and a man whose reputation as the “godfather of Australian outdoor advertising” precedes him – founder of oOh!media, Brendon Cook. OAM 🤵🏻‍♂️

DOOH is now used in almost 50% of marketing campaigns, and 23% of ad execs are planning to double their DOOH budget this financial year.

We'll be working closely with the team help Doohly power every digital billboard across Australia... and beyond.
