(Kicking myself for missing this meetup tonight–had a ticket but couldn’t make it. So I followed along on Twitter, thanks to Melissa Perri, Lane Halley and @agileuxmeetup for the diligent tweets collected below!)
- Strategy is not planning, …it’s an integrated set of choices
- There’s a misconception that iterative processes can’t be abstracted to high level business ideas
- Research says the majority of companies have a strategy but only 14% of employees understand it
- 70% of companies with a strategic plan fail to achieve their goal
- Strategy is not a plan, it’s a system–not up front, it’s continuous–not top down, it’s bottom up
-
Successful businesses commit to outcomes not projects
- Do not plan beyond circumstances you can foresee
- Strategy involves a bet, as aspirational intention that creates alignment
- Strategy as hypothesis “Our strategy…. can be tested by…..”
-
Mission command = decentralized decision making in a Lean fashion
Hope Josh posts the slides–will update if so!
