Mandarins

Best Dramatic Short at the 2023 New Hampshire Film Festival

Dr. Sarai Koo plays Jenny Chu.

This film is about an emotional and compulsive black sheep Olivia Chu who reunites with her estranged family by crashing her mother's funeral. Determined to say something but ill-prepared, Olivia unintentionally delivers an offbeat eulogy that sends her two dutiful older siblings, Jenny and Michael, scrambling to save face in front of friends and family. Competing eulogies ensue, painting a larger picture of each of the siblings in relationship to each other and the complex woman they've come together to honor that day.

Remember Your People

December 19, 20232 min read

We get caught up in the endless cycle of tasks and deadlines without realizing it. We're often so busy that we forget to realize something important.

There's a critical aspect that many companies, regardless of their size, diversity, or location, often overlook: an invaluable asset that

can drive true innovation, growth, and improvement.

This asset is not AI or high-tech. It's the company's workforce.

What is this precious asset? It’s the company’s people.

Integrating the Project SPICES framework into your company culture can truly transform your business operations.

SPICES acronym

Project SPICES is not just another framework or strategy; it is a revolutionary approach to leveraging your people's human intelligence and creativity.

It focuses on the value of each individual, recognizing that every person brings unique insights and perspectives that can contribute to your bottom line.

By adopting Project SPICES, you can create an inclusive and belonging environment that nurtures safety, innovation, and more. The Project SPICES framework structures your culture to allow employees to speak up without reprisal, making them a part of the change. This inclusive approach boosts morale and leads to a dynamic and collaborative workplace.

The impact of Project SPICES goes beyond just "good to know" or "good to have." It fosters ownership and engagement among employees, leading to increased productivity and a solid commitment to the company's vision and mission.

In summary, Project SPICES isn't just about harnessing employee ideas; it's about transforming your organizational culture into one that authentically values, respects, and thrives on the contributions of every team member. It's time to move away from the 'work, work, work' mentality and embrace a more holistic approach that positions your employees as the key drivers of your business success.

If you are serious about true change, then connect with us. We're not about ‘checking the box.’
