For those of us who felt secretly chuffed for having a Triple Captain on Haaland- full time looked today looked a lot like…

Consultancies take ages to tell you that correlation yields results

Internal experts will tell you in 1/10th of the time even causal links to higher performance

Often we’re prefer the former because we feel less exposed.
Only the latter drives progress
Transformation strategy matters

Executives, Directors and decision makers- how do you get diversity in your thinking when MBB, big 4, MSPs and other the usual coterie of business schools all fill your inbox and calendars??

Watched this last night.
The reframe of the ‘West’ as vassals of the US empire and how to regain sovereignty + the push move away from profit as the main guiding force was really powerful
Big thanks to @novaramedia.com and @jasonhickel.bsky.social for this

in the world of project portfolios we have to force the drudgery of admin.
Mandates, logs, strategies, narrative and detailed plans. Done together. Done well
Everyone hates it- but like all labour it is good for our souls
If we don’t do the basics well, how dare we dream of winging the hard stuff?

Big congrats to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for his landslide in becoming leader of the @greenparty.org.uk

Our Green and Glorious land now has a leader to match

(Feel free to borrow Green and Glorious slogan)

‘It’s impossible to really plan for uncertainty,’
^this is the belief that leads to organisations wasting tonnes of time and missing out on impact.
Managing uncertainty is about network effects vs command & control.
Do the basics right. Focus, repeat
Instead of making it up as you go along

Good writing is a superpower
Love this insight.
Question: have we become lazy readers and as a result lazy writers?
We had an All Hands for the design org and I gotta say that the way the OKRs are written was brilliant. Good writing is a super power. In this example, the OKRs are architected to show concise UX problems and how they level up to business goals. In this way UX is the strategy.

It was great to facilitate the discussion on the health of agile at Agile MKs monthly session earlier.
Key takeaways
1) the framework has evolved well over time, being pulled from software to other units
2) it is still misunderstood- often seen as a silver bullet to people and leadership challenges

At an IoD South coffee catchup earlier the business confidence was discussed. IMHO there’s been so much uncertainty for so long that we’ve lost the ability to inspire, prioritise, execute and get results. We have to shake off the malaise

I’m haunted by a line I heard mentioned by @aaronjbastani.bsky.social during the epic downstream with @garethdennis.bsky.social about how our civilisation stands on three inventions: the telegraph, steam engine and electricity. I feel a big gap now in our scientific blind spots. Thanks guys.

I’m writing a piece on organisations which have focused on performance over purpose. Any examples of the opposite?
