👋 Welcome to adidas Growth Lab!
This is your global space to connect, learn, and grow. Born out of Virtual Café, Growth Lab is the next step in our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration, networking, and development across adidas.
Here, you’ll find a place to build relationships, share ideas, and unlock new ways to grow together.
Receive regular introductions (based on your interests and goals) for 1:1 conversations with colleagues around the world. Conversation prompts will help you kick things off and make meaningful connections.
Join Office Hour-style sessions with leaders and participate in focus groups where ideas are explored, shared, and developed. These are opportunities to connect with leaders and co-create adidas’ future.
Find colleagues who match your goals and interests, and reach out with confidence – everyone here is open to connecting and growing.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions to help you get started and make the most of your Growth Lab experience.
⛱️ I’m going on vacation, can I pause my introductions?
Yes. On the Introductions tab, select “Pause Introductions” on the right, and choose the dates you’ll be away. Ten Thousand Coffees will restart them automatically when you’re back.
🎯 How can I update my goals and interests?
Go to the Introductions tab and select “About your introductions.” From there, click “Edit selection” to update who you want to meet, and adjust your preferences (role, interests, what you’re offering/seeking).
💭 Can I opt out of Introductions (monthly connects) and just participate in Open Office Hours and other development programs?
Absolutely. Growth Lab is your space, and you decide which opportunities you want to take part in.
📍 Do I have to join the Open Office Hours or other development opportunities if I register to Growth Lab?
No. Everything in Growth Lab is completely voluntary – it’s up to you to take advantage of what’s offered and make the most of it.
