South Korea’s ppalli-ppalli culture focuses on speed. The effect? They have world-leading internet speeds, intensive language classes promising near-immediate results and even popular speed-dating events. Even McDonald’s assembled a fleet of delivery scooters in South Korea with ppalli-ppalli stickers.

Could ppalli-ppalli be optimally utilised in a start-up environment? If yes, how can you do it?

1. Start with getting your team onboard with the idea.
2. Set roles, goals and deadlines.
3. Get organized with a team/project management tool like Monday or Wrike or Slack.
4. Focus everyday on deliverables. NOT half of the deliverable but things that can be ticked off in a checklist.
5. Create templates for projects such as E-mailers that can be optimized through platforms like MailChimp.
6. Introduce methodolgies such as Scrum for smaller teams. Assign a Scrum Master.
7. Make Plan B’s incase of absenteeism or external factors such as client requests.
8. Optimize work hours to best fit your team’s needs.
9. Make it fun. Add a gamification element with scores, rewards or a team party at the finish line.
