Welcome to read Tiimiakatemia Learning Network’s action report from 2013.

Last year was the first operational year for Tiimiakatemia Learning Network and its

cooperative. We bravely followed our Leading Thoughts by doing continuous

experiments and creating new things, learning by doing and travelling wisely but

often.

Network of team coaches became stronger despite of ”birth giving pains” of the

start. We had several physical meetings where ideas were created and shared, new

projects emerged, new knowledge was born and even new industry started! Steps

towards becoming world’s fastest learning network were taken.

We hope that following lines inspire you to continue the good work and courages

other team coaches to join the network!

”We are the tribe, we are the brand, we live the brand!”

« Tiimiakatemia Learning Network is an international learning network of team

coaches. It gathers, shares, connects and influences. It is a platform for shared

actions, experiments and giving birth to new. It has a key role in generating and

developing team entrepreneurship. »

Tiimiakatemia Learning Network’s (and cooperative’s) members are all engaged to

Leading Thoughts which guide networks’ actions.

« The purpose of cooperative is to support its members’ professional development and growth

through trainings, generation of new knowledge, sharing and connecting its members together. It

functions as a platform for shared projects and as a marketing and distribution channel for

services produced by cooperative members. »

The charter of Tiimiakatemia Learning Network cooperative was signed in 22.10.2012 by 23

Finnish team coaches. Heikki Toivanen was elected as a chairman of the board, Hanna Waldén as

a managing director of cooperative and Sanna Tossavainen as leader of communications and

community building. Outi Syrjälahti joinded the team 4.3.2014 as communication and back office

support.

Cooperative produces different gatherings, seminars and meetings, trainings, publications and

communication services.

During its first operational year, Tiimiakatemia Learning Network cooperative got 60 members

(not all have paid, yet). The goal was to have 300 members. Main reasons for not reaching this

goal has been the lack of focus on recruitment and « birth-giving pains » of first operational year.
