How did 2022 SprEnd?
December for us at Sprend, as well as for everyone else, was a month in which things happened at an incredible speed.
The Swedish part of the team thus joined us at the end of 2022 in Pula. This means joint work on current tasks, new ideas, and space for those random and unplanned events. One such was a business trip to Zagreb. A trip where we jumped from the sea to the snow, made a plan, and worked for two days in a new city. Two colleagues who previously only knew each other through online meetings have now become companions in sharing business tasks and living space for a short time.
Apart from being the capital and largest city in Croatia, Zagreb is always interesting and offers an infinite amount of space to realize your plans. From the architecture, the width of the streets, the multitude of street events, business opportunities, or simply the irreplaceable atmosphere. In two short days, almost without respite, we accomplished the planned plans and visited various places where we made new acquaintances and hope for future cooperation. We were especially delighted by the professionalism and friendliness of the team from Algebra, where we were hosted by Marko Drenovački. Cities always remind us of the people we met there, he is certainly one of those responsible for our fond memories.
The "Zicer" incubator was a real surprise and a small miracle for us. A small, unusual elevator from which you enter directly from the parking lot into a space where quite a few start-ups are concentrated, a colorful place with a special energy. The first person you meet there is an extremely professional and charismatic gentleman at the reception, the soul of this place. The first impression is the most important and that great feeling was confirmed by those we met there afterward.
But after returning, it was necessary to conclude the year, to say goodbye to colleagues at the office Christmas party. Toast, exchange gifts, and summarize the year behind us.
Events can be planned and ultimately successful. The results are very easily measurable in everything. But what can never be planned are emotions. The ones deserved, gathered throughout the year, working on things even when it wasn't easy. The picture I always carry is a projection of our lives over some years. We are retired, we meet our former colleagues at the green market, and exactly what will determine mutual reactions is the way we colored each other's days. Every company has goals and a mission. But they are made by people.
We concluded 2022 with the potential to greet each other warmly when we meet at the green market for many years. Now we just have to wait 20 years or more to see if we were right. And try to keep it in 2023 for starters.
Cheering for the “Arena” Women's Handball Club
We are very happy that we got the opportunity to support the “Arena” Women's Handball Club from Pula. Their training sessions are held at the Mate Parlov Sports Centre. As a sports hall, it was built in 1978 as the "Savo Vukelić" Youth Center, and today it proudly bears the name of the greatest Yugoslav boxer, Mate Parlov. He was the only boxer in the history of that sport who won the Olympic, European and world amateur, and European and world professional titles in the same category. In addition, he was also a lover of poetry. A man with gold medals and the same kind of heart.
In the spirit of this, the “Arena” Women's Handball Club beats itself every week on the floor. They know that this is the only way they become better and better at what they love. Their coaches Mihaela Lukšić, Alenka Vučinić, and Želimir Popović are other people in this text whose hearts we can call golden. This is what every coach needs if he wants to convey to the team the only true way to achieve success. But not only in the form of victories, but in the spirit of the game and everything that is even more important in that process than the victories themselves. By understanding and practicing this way of training, not only do the members of the club become better at playing, but also in pursuit of life happiness in general.
We wish the players and their coaches all the best and look forward to future matches. Girls, save us seats in the stands!
In pursuit of a new working place
We can say that working in Sprend is never boring. The person who creates the most unusual stories is our director. Next to him, we all seem ordinary.
There is a legend that he once worked on the wing of an airplane while traveling from Stockholm to Pula. It is absolutely true that he held a business meeting in the courtyard of the mosque. He did not know the purpose of the building at the time, but he felt the surrounding peace. At our online meetings, he shows us undiscovered cafes, hotel lobbies, restaurants, parks, forests, other people's houses, mountains, ships, trains, monuments, and the best, we meet his mom.
He convinced us that a person cannot sit for eight hours and be productive and that walking is the only solution and that exercise is a human need if he wants to stay healthy. He is always ready to hear our unusual stories and will still thank us for them.
He is currently in Pula and has found a new place to work. Katarina - Monumenti, the zone of the former military complex. Today it is abandoned and transformed, but not forgotten by the local population who still visit it.
He had the desire to become bigger than the Pula cranes. Find the largest programming table. To make sure that the Romans were really once here, and to look at it from a different perspective. Simply being a part of Pula, not knowing what to expect but knowing a lot will happen.
Sports matter! Sprend became the sponsor of the youngest football players of NK Istria 1961
The last few days have been colored by the happiness that appears in those most valuable situations, mutual cooperation, and support. We all remember a period in which we dreamed about what we would like to become. Sometimes opportunities are at our fingertips. But often, so that our wishes do not remain dreams, we need the support of others. Those who recognize our abilities, talents, and perseverance.
"It's so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs... We should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics." - Snoop Dogg
We are happy to have become sponsors of the youngest players of the football club Istria. We sincerely wish girls and boys to continue following their dreams. That the energy we felt at their training is transferred to all fields of their lives. Thanks for the feeling, we are rooting for you!

Printing studios & their clients now enjoy the convenience of our new feature: “Don’t send. Receive!”
We are happy to announce a new collaboration with printing studios in Pula. When a printing studio uses the Sprend Pro service, it means that all its clients will automatically be able to use it completely free of charge. How? Because of our new feature "Don't send. Receive!". Clients automatically have an unlimited number of transfers, they can use encryption, which is very important when sending confidential data and the storage option for picking files is longer.
Our first partner is Print Studio Shop. They are located on the same street as the Sprend office in Pula. A large number of clients visit them every day and use their services. Sprend Pro service is now available to all of them. We would like to thank that despite the busy schedule, they found time for several meetings with us and recognized the quality of our service.
Groups and teams
Since childhood, the little man has been part of different groups. As it could be concluded that he succeeded, it is assessed whether he fit in among his peers. This continues through further education, so at some point, we begin to evaluate ourselves through the same. In order to really feel that we have succeeded, we need luck first of all. Encounters in which we leave our little world of peace and imagination and join someone, creating a team or group. Then we call it friendship, which can sometimes last for a short time, a long time, or at least mark us in a pleasant memory. Because together we were stronger, we learned from others, we grew and became adults. With our inner world influenced by our environment, we became the people we are today.
As such, adults, we find ourselves again in the middle of various groups. We also work and try to achieve the best. These new groups are called teams, and most often we do not choose them ourselves. Previously unknown individuals, connected by knowledge, try to achieve a common goal. How can they succeed in this?
Regarding that Patrick Lencioni says: "Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal."
In addition, in one of his books, he lists five dysfunctions that a team must overcome in order to function successfully thereafter. It's about:
Absence of Trust
Fear of Conflict.
Lack of commitment
Avoidance of Accountability
Inattention to results
Each team faces a big task, to build trust, engage in constructive conflict, ensure commitment, ensure accountability and focus on results. Together with a great leader, joint success depends on each member. Will we achieve power or weakness?
Communication, tool, or weapon?
Words are one of man's most powerful tools. If we choose them carefully and know how to communicate well, we are already halfway to success. But it certainly happened to us that what we say is very clear to us, but not to the one to whom the words are addressed. So how could we be clearer, more precise? How do we even understand that we are misunderstood?

The 7 C's of Communication is a checklist that helps to improve professional communication skills and increase the chance that the message will be understood in exactly the same way as it was intended:
1. Clear - the goal is to be clearly understandable to the recipient. It would be good to focus on one thing at a time. If we express ourselves unclearly, we cause confusion and even more additional work in explaining it later.
2. Correct - the message and information should be correct. As much as possible, we should try to avoid or eliminate mistakes.
3. Complete - we should try to be complete because it helps the other party to work on the task more easily or make further decisions.
4. Concrete - not be vague or leave room for self-interpretation.
5. Concise - maintaining focus and getting to the point is always a positive thing. The wandering of our thoughts does not increase the recipient's interest but takes him away from the subject of discussion.
6. Considerate - in order to have effective communication, we must always take into account the interlocutor's circumstances, background, knowledge, mindset, and opinions.
7. Courteous - we always respect those we address and are not biased under any circumstances. The message should always be positive, showing respect to others.
With this in mind, it is certain that every member of the team can prosper. This short video describes everything:
We should always keep the 7 C’s in mind and above all, kindness and respect.
Sprend team in front of the lens of Tedi Korodi
Sprend team replaced one of the working days with a studio. We had a lot of fun creating professional photos in the studio of Tedi Korodi located in the Rojc community center.
Our company always presents itself to users through quality service, but we are aware that employees are the face of the company too. Now we are finally in the same format. Except for Karin Andersson, whom we are waiting for in Pula to say: cheese!
Don’t send. Receive!

As always, happy sprending!
Vacationing in Croatia
Our team is back together. We are rested, full of ideas, and the will to continue realizing our plans. It is certain that annual vacations improve our health, reduce stress levels and burnout, improve sleep, create new memories through travel and socializing, and increase our mental and physical well-being, productivity, and creativity. There are many benefits and everyone knows the feeling when returning to work, that anything is possible.
Caroline Castrillon writes in Forbes: "Taking vacation time is critical to employee survival. That's because time off is integral to well-being, sustained productivity, and high performance." A vacation could save your life, she adds.
We share some photos from the Croatian vacation. Parts of Pula, Silba, Mrežnica, and Petrova Gora with the Monument to the Uprising of the People of Kordun and Banija is a World War II. Also, it is the only place in Croatia that was declared a "dark sky park" in 2019. More and more areas in the world are protected in this way from excessive light pollution.
One of the places perfect for a break and departure that prepares us for our return.
Sprend Meetup - our aims & games
Before the summer holidays, we held our first joint Sprend Meetup of this kind, taking as a guiding thought what Adrian Ruiz said: "There is a difference between a group of people accomplishing goals together. Teams are rare."
With the right plan and program, it wasn't difficult to get started. What initially moved us away from the usual, or from what we automatically expected, were team challenges. Tanja Evertsson is a person who leads a team of people very successfully, directly, but also with a lot of care. This time she had raw spaghetti, duct tape, and marshmallows in her hands. Something that the four developers in that same room were surely not expecting. She surprised us all. But just as she always manages to say the right thing at the right moment, she also turned this game or Spaghetti challenge into a real representation of the work process, achieving results and competition.
Divided into two teams, the task with a few rules was to build the highest tower possible. In this fun and tense process, you quickly realize that strategy in any task does not fall from the sky. As with all the efforts, your perfect plan, in theory, does not have to be equally perfect in practice. There are things we couldn't know in advance. But now we've learned. What we always consider most important at Sprend is how we treat each other along the way. Although one team lost, both gained a lot.
After this, we already achieved an open atmosphere and the strength to continue. By proposing new future ideas and adopting them, a picture of Sprend and the direction it could go in the future began to be created. We did not neglect our experiences in past jobs either, presenting them as instructive and with the aim of understanding each other. Open and regular communication is something that will save us from obstacles becoming problems, we concluded. Listening and hearing the other person can give us answers to questions that may arise in the future. In this way, possible solutions will not be so far away. As we always keep in mind the Sprend manifesto, which consists of tolerance, responsibility, fearlessness, pride, leadership, and respect.
When setting goals, we didn't skip "fika", a custom unknown to us in Croatia. Resetting with coffee and cakes, we managed to see even the future of Sprend in fifty years:
“More wanted than Normabel, Apaurin, Praxiten or Xanax.”
“The future is known, the past is unpredictable.”
The expectation from the beginning, that we would be successful in a busy day, turned into satisfaction. To be successful in business, you need to be successful in play too. The honest, benevolent and childlike one.
Phases of Team Development using Tuckman’s model
Each group creates its own dynamics. In 1965, Bruce Tuckman formed a model of psychological development of a group which is necessary and inevitable in order to develop, be able to face challenges, solve problems, search for solutions and create results in work. By understanding these stages, we can help our team reach stability and successful functioning more quickly.
The first phase, called Forming, is the initial phase where a group is formed by individuals who are still unsure of the way and direction in which they should act, and are looking for a leader who will provide them with answers, stability, and security. The group still learns about each other.
In the second phase of Storming, if the team does not see and feel that things are stabilizing, they start to rebel against such a way and discord may occur. They begin to question the way they are led and the mission of the team. When roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined, frustration can easily arise. They feel like not making the progress they believed they could make given their abilities. This is a stage that can become very dangerous if allowed to go on for too long. Team members lose motivation and question whether they are even in the right place for them.
Over time, the team enters the Norming phase. This means that they recognize each other's weaknesses as well as their strengths and begin to accept each other and respect the authority of a leader. The team develops cohesion and contributes to set differences aside.
In the Performing phase, the ability to effectively create as a team appears. Tasks are performed in an open atmosphere with trust. Together with hard work and structured processes, the team is likely to achieve its goals efficiently.
The last stage is Adjourning in which, most of the team's goals have been accomplished. The emphasis is on wrapping up final tasks and documenting the effort and results. The team recognizes change and provides an opportunity for acknowledgments. This stage can be difficult for those who have enjoyed the work and bonded with the team members.
Deidre Tofano made a great video on her YouTube channel Agile Leadership: "Learn about the five phases here, nerdily, by watching how the Fellowship of the Ring gets together."
We have reduced the price of a one-day service
Good news for all those who need the service to send large files occasionally, so they decide to become users for a day. The new daily price is 1,6 EUR + VAT.
We hope that this way we will create an even better connection with our users. Sprend team is guided by the idea that the step to becoming a user should be as short as possible. In addition, we wanted not to feel expensive, with a belief that this decision will bring a lot of good to our users. The advantage of a one-day subscription can be not only for those who send large files but also for users who want to be sure that their file has safely reached the recipient, in such a way that Sprend will automatically send them a notification when downloading.
May it serve you well!

Young people in creating the best business spirit
The final part of our impressions from the recent “Let's Grow” conference belongs to primary and secondary school students and students from all over Istria that visited this event.
As well as their professors who have played an important role in encouraging the active participation of younger students. By bravely taking the initiative, they created a real atmosphere of cooperation. A spirit that is often difficult to create even for adults. Together they have proven and taught us that when it comes to sharing information and knowledge, there are no limits. The way they can be easily adapted and once we create a touch point, their minds and creativity take us in whole new directions. When you manage to talk to a nine-year-old about sending large files, it is certain that you have learned a lot there as well.
Those fun and witty moments are also best created by children. In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to hear a lecture by a very pleasant speaker and businessman, Mr. Leonardo Siladic from Mireo. It is a company specializing in top-of-the-line GPS navigation solutions. Today, Mireo's SpaceTime technology shifts the connected vehicle data analytics paradigm by allowing companies to monetize their vehicle sensor data. At one point, visibly excited and happy children, very young, began to enter the hall, sitting in the front rows. Nothing could distract them. They aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, but the next thought that came to mind: are they already interested in topics like this? After a few minutes, we realized the source of their enthusiasm, they thought that Mr. Siladić was Tik Toker.
Great energy continued in the Kids and corner workshop. The participants there were the Positron Center with its robots, drones, and 3D printers. Here’s a short description: "Center for Technological Development and STEM Education Pozitron was created as an initiative of several enthusiasts with the desire to provide the best possible education for children and youth in computer science, robotics, 3D printing, programming, and other activities in accordance with the objectives of the Positron Association. " Interesting VR studio Pula, Mate Blažina High School Labin with its Re-Book project, Gimnazija Pula with Virtual book and interesting STEMI with Hexapod: "perfect tool to introduce students to robotics. This customizable and programmable robot is singularly designed for education. By designing their own hexapod, students engage in the creative and demanding task of constructing their first robot. "
It was a lot of joy and good energy created by them, the young people. It led us too, so we boarded a wave of enthusiasm together. We are sure that we will meet in the future, soon even in changed roles. Let’s hope we find the children within ourselves again.

The story of Kristina, an HCI ergonomist from Paris
Our today's article is about Kristina Puškarić who currently works and lives in Paris. We are very happy that she visited the Conference “Let’s grow” in Pula and gave us the opportunity to get to know and connect. Kristina is a charismatic and very pleasant person, once a fellow citizen of Pula who, after graduating from high school, continued her education and life outside of Croatia. She studied in Milan and Paris, where she acquired her professional knowledge and works as an HCI Ergonomist today. For a wider audience UX designer / UX researcher: "When people work, search or buy something, they interact with their environment. My job is to adapt the environment to the people's activities. It doesn't matter what kind of environment is. But I'm specialized in IT interfaces. And that's why we call it Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)."
Kristina Puškarić Santini
In order to get a broader picture and understand what Kristina's work entails, we asked her to briefly tell us her story, which we share with you in its entirety:
“In the last 5 years in France, most HCI ergonomists have changed their name to UX researcher. The law of the market probably. But the business is always the same, that has never changed and the French have been really successful in that since the end of World War II. This is mostly visible in the car and aircraft industry.
I love my job very much and above all, I have been living in Paris for the last 22 years because of work and I discovered ergonomics in France. The big city offers plenty of interesting projects, from banking and creating specific business applications, to Disney and B2C applications. Sometimes I feel like a child in a chocolate shop, every project is attractive and there is a lot to offer. Recently, there is a great demand for seniors and lead UX profiles and this gives quite a bit of freedom of choice at the moment, which was not the case 10-15 years ago, for example.
I am currently working for a small agency "La combe du lion vert", about 60 people who are specialized in craft development and want to come to market with a UX offer. As a team leader, I have the task of hiring and educating new people and monitoring their projects with the client. Along the way, I am also a consultant with a client (banking) until the team grows.
My previous experience where I led a design team of 6 people (energy industry) helps me a lot and I withdrew part of that team to a new agency because they are ingenious. Of course, at "La combe du lion vert" there’s a great head hunter team that takes care of finding profiles and an even better commercial department that takes care of finding clients.
In recent years, I have also started working as an educator in specialized schools and colleges for UX design and that fulfills me because knowledge transfer is something that comes as a natural process at a certain age."
And this of course is not all, we could talk for so long, sail into new topics and learn a lot from each other. So we wished for that and arranged a new meeting with Kristina when she visits Pula again.
We believe that her versatility and expertise will inspire you, in case you would like to cooperate or to share your experience, feel free to contact Kristina.
The young professional and founder of Lanterna IT - Luka Liker
Luka Liker, founder of Lanterna IT
What we always hope for at every event such as the recent "Let's Grow" Conference, apart from a great organization and program, are the acquaintances we make for the future. Is there anything better than people trying to improve their business but also supporting others? One of these is Luka Liker, owner of the private web development company Lanterna IT.
Luka is a professional who instills confidence from the first moment, it is easy to communicate, and very quickly through conversation, you will realize that he has more talents. He is also involved in photography. He kindly shared a few with all of us, so you have a chance to see them below. Lives and works in Rijeka where he was educated, and we are happy that he gave us the opportunity to see pieces of his city through the lens. The way in which he is a discreet observer who saves places and events from oblivion, without interfering in the action and leaving them intact, gives us that magnificent and sublime feeling in observation.
Luka's photo of his hometown, Rijeka. "What I like is unconventional compositions, night photos, and photos with extended exposure."
When asked how he decided to open his own company, Luka answers:
"After graduating in logistics and management at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Rijeka, looking for a job in the profession, I passed a course for web design. I realized that computer science is much more interesting to me than management, so I got a job in an IT company where I worked. I provided customer support services, solving hardware and software problems in the field, but also as a system administrator. I renewed my web programming skills and decided to try to start my own web design business. I realized that it is much easier to work with something you love and you find yourself in. I work every day on my competencies and improve my knowledge. "
In the end, we were interested in his expectations for the future. And we didn't expect any less interesting answer: "I don't have a goal in the future because that would mean reaching the end of the trip. I prefer to orient myself to a new horizon when I reach the previously seen one."
If you would like to cooperate with Luka or share experience and knowledge, get in touch with Lanterna IT, and expand your network of professionals with great potential.
The long-awaited "Let's Grow" ICT conference was held in Pula - expectations are exceeded
For the first time in Pula, the conference "Let's Grow" powered by ICT Istria, gathered 20 inspiring and professional lecturers as well as 25 exhibitors in the ICT sector last week. Sprend was one of them. Together with hundreds of young enthusiasts, we had a great time.
The House of the Croatian War Veterans, built during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, was chosen for the conference. Once it was a palace called Marine Casino. Today, a space with magnificent corridors and halls that serve for various events and concerts. This is the first big event of its kind in our city after the measures were relaxed in a two-year period. Croatian Sprend was founded in the middle of that so the importance was even greater.
Istria has long been a strong tourist destination, but for several years now, companies from the ICT sector operating in the ICT Association have decided to further brand the quality of life in order to attract top professionals and companies. About our region, they say: “We believe Istria and ICT industry is a win-win combination for both professional and private life.”
Some of the interesting topics on the main stage of the event were: “The impact of ICT on life in Istria”, “How to make schools of the future”, “Artificial intelligence and prejudice”, “If you love what you do, work will be almost like a game”.
Numerous pupils and students were also present, in addition to lectures, they were particularly interested in workshops and project presentations. You could find robots, drones, 3D printers, virtual books, and a lot of enthusiasm there.
We look forward to the next event.

Sprend in scenes from everyday life
Sprend.com is a simple service for sending large files. Everything we all do in business is often recognized in nature in some other form. This time we found it with ants. We can learn a lot from them. What we strive for, they do naturally. It is certain that they did not have any marketing to interest us.

Living the city we work in: Community Center Rojc
In the series of texts "Living the city we work in" we will present the most interesting places in our town, as well as the people who inspire us. Pula and the entire Istrian peninsula are destinations that many people who are able to travel and work find pleasant to live in. We will try to describe why.
At the very beginning, we decided on the Community Center Rojc. The place, built during the Austro-Hungarian rule over Pula, as a naval school, in the future and with changes in various regimes, continued to serve a military purpose. The name of this place is after Karl Rudolf Rojc, a soldier from the Second World War. He died in battle in 1942 in defense of the partisan hospital with 23 comrades, and in 1951 he was proclaimed a national hero. He never visited Pula.
This "lost" space in the city center has escaped the fate of many similar public spaces, which have been turned into private spaces due to the commercial policy of public authorities.
Today it's a place where 106 civil society organizations in the fields of culture, sports, psychosocial care and health, children and youth, care for people with special needs, environmental protection, technical culture, national minorities, and other live and work activities. These diverse associations are a successful example of cooperation between city government and civil society organizations. The corridors of Rojc look like a large gallery because more than 4,000 m2 were painted by people of goodwill. The total area of the building is 16,739 m2.
There is no content that you can not find here, but perhaps it is enough to say that you will already hear the sounds of instruments and rehearsals as you approach the building. In the skate park across the parkin line, you can see roller skaters and other stunt lovers. For years, a group of them called Broskva has been active and especially interesting, consisting of veterans as they call themselves today and new talented hopes. Those guys are showing us every day that rollerblading is a lifestyle and not just a short phase. They are not stopped by fractures or injuries.
But in case you have a broken home appliance or a piece of furniture, there is also a Re-Gepetto repair shop here. Or you can just wander the hallways and choose something from the remaining hundred or so contents.

What you can do without traveling, with one click is to hear what kind of music is listened to on the radio Rojc: http://radio.rojc.eu/radio-ledu-320mp3/.
Let's not forget the face of this place, Batman the cat.
Enjoy Pula.
Who needs our service?
Since 2004, a number of users have placed their trust in Sprend on the basis of quality and reliability. Without advertising, the service spoke for itself with what its only goal from the moment it was designed - to successfully find its way from sender to recipient.
Over time, the number of users grew. They are now part of the construction sector in the first place, education, lawyers, rental, authors, artists, brokers, health care, bookkeeping, IT sector, as well as municipalities and government agencies, among many others.
Sprend Pro customers in sectors and numbers
Our service can sometimes sound abstract. If we talk about data, files, and encryption, we can understand why. Often it's hard to imagine all the ways we’re connected with each other. But if we imagine that each of these data is one important piece that forms, for example, a business project that someone has been working on for months, a book on the way to publishing, a blueprint for construction to begin soon, songs performed at a school event or a confidential data that needs to be sent safely, things become more real.
This pie chart shows who are the users of our service, but in short, Sprenders are all those who want their data to reach their destination safely and successfully. Thank you for putting your trust and confidence in our company.
