Rosemary O'Shaughnessy digitalcontentmanager.ie#sales #linkedin #onlinemarketing #digitalcontent #inbound32 min - Canva Innovation and Business Success
You are very welcome to this week's Podcast Rosemary O'Shaughnessy digitalcontentmanager.ie
This week, I will be chatting about innovation and business success. It is great to see all the businesses that have thrived during the challenges of Covid19.
Earlier in the week I read an article in Fast Company about the The most innovative design companies of 2022 what got my attention was Canva was listed.
I have been using Canva for years for my own business and customers. I am also a Canva Champon. Canva is a design tool that can be used to create your online and offline designs.
It is used by 85% of the Fortune 500 companies and local businesses, and much more. I found myself thinking of Canva's Corporate values, and I believe that has been important in their success story.
What are they
- Make Complex Things Simple
- Set Crazy Big Goals and Make Them Happen
- Be A Force For Good
- Empower Others
- Pursue Excellence
- Be A Good Human
Make complex simple, in otherwise save time, and you can achieve more when things are not difficult. Set Crazy Goals Canva, Canva has empowered non-designers to design. By being a force for good, Canva has created momentum which has helped their business grow and innovate. Empower and teach, and that has resulted in a community to help Canva grow. Of course, pursue excellence and see what you can achieve as a result. Be a good human we all want to live in a world full of good humans, especially during these times.
Earlier this week, a businessman asked for my help after looking for the answer on YouTube on how to do something in Canva. He found an old video not up to date and felt frustrated.
Asked me for help and I showed him how it could be done. Something for him that was complex and I was able to make it simple.
Because Canva innovates, yes their site changes, but also extra capability what you can achieve using Canva. If there had been no innovation, Canva would not have grown into the business it is today with such a loyal following.
I am a Canva Champion and an affiliate if you wish to learn more about Canva do not hesitate to contact me
