How to Launch POISUM in Your Team in 3 Simple Steps
Aug 7, 2025

A Quick-Start Playbook to Build Your Team's Engagement and Performance Culture — No Consultants Needed
You don’t need months of planning or a team of consultants to start shaping your company’s culture.
With POISUM, you can go from sign-up to team engagement in just one week.
Here’s your quick-start guide to launching POISUM effectively — even if this is your first time implementing a performance or engagement tool.
Step 1: Choose Your Strategic Values (3–5 Value Tags)
Start by asking yourself:
“What behaviors do we need more of to achieve our goals?”
Examples:
Scaling fast? → Speed, Ownership
Improving service? → Customer Focus, Discipline
Building leadership? → Teamwork, Initiative
POISUM provides 20 ready-to-use Value Tags, but you can start with 3–5 key values.
Pro Tip: Don’t overthink. The goal is to make culture visible and actionable, not perfect from day one.
Step 2: Create Missions (Simple Tasks Aligned with Values)
Missions are the daily or weekly behaviors you want to reinforce. These can be:
Routine tasks you want done right
Actions that reflect your culture
Initiatives tied to performance or goals
Example Missions:
Mission | Value Tag |
“Complete sales report by 6 PM” | Discipline |
“Share 1 process improvement idea” | Innovation |
“Help onboard new intern” | Teamwork |
Create 5–10 starter missions across teams.
POISUM allows missions to be assigned, picked, or self-reported — giving you full control.
Step 3: Launch Your First Campaign
To create excitement and momentum, launch a 30-day starter campaign. Keep it simple:
Sample Campaign:
Campaign Name: “Living Our Values – July Challenge”
Duration: 30 days
Goal: Complete value-tagged missions
Reward: Top 3 scorers get lunch with CEO or a small gift
As employees complete missions, they earn points.
The leaderboard updates automatically.
You can highlight progress weekly to keep energy high.
Remember: Points are accumulative — they count toward future campaigns and long-term visibility.
What You’ll See Within 2–4 Weeks
Increased visibility into team behavior
Friendly competition and engagement
Leaders start seeing which values are strong (and where to improve)
Culture becomes something your team feels and contributes to
Final Word: Don’t Wait for the “Perfect Time”
POISUM is built for action, not perfection.
Start small. Get feedback.
Watch your team move in sync with your strategy — one mission at a time.
You can always evolve your value tags, mission designs, or campaign style later.
The most important part is starting.
