Ritual

I’d love to see the narrative behind this. Flywheel concepts are very easy to botch, so it’s key to find the “Venn diagram” that captures the upside with minimal downside (key risk: not attracting the best ideas because of the requirement to prioritize Amazon as a sales channel). Narratives anticipate these challenges and confront these hard problems before launching. If you’re working on a strategic opportunity with a lot of ambiguity, give Ritual a try. It’s a way to move from the idea stage to confident recommendations. Finding clarity through unknowns is key to moving forward with confidence. Ritual is more than just Amazon‘s way of working in a box. It’s an approach built for an era of AI which can help you leap frog todays icons. www.ritual.work https://app.ritual.work Let’s make it happen! #strategy #innovation #businessgrowth #decisionmaking #leadership https://lnkd.in/gj7qJp4E

??? I recently joined Thinkers50 for the Provocateurs podcast to share leadership insights from my journey and how they shaped my “North Star.” Thinkers50 is a hub for today’s top management thought leaders. ??? I’ve navigated three major career transitions—from digital-native companies to leading Fortune 500s, and now as a founder on a mission. Each phase brought valuable leadership lessons, fueling my latest disruption: rethinking the practice of management. Here are some highlights: ?? Why Transformation Starts with Heritage: Many people ask how we were able to drive 10 years of change in very short periods of time within large organizations. At McDonald's, I anchored digital transformation in the company's core value of convenience. ?? At Volvo, we built on our safety heritage while keeping humans at the center of our growth strategy (subscription business model and tech-forward interiors). At MGM Resorts, we expanded hospitality to all guests, even those who don't gamble. ?? Engage Directly in How Work Gets Done: Leadership isn't just about setting strategy. It's about diving into how teams think and work, and helping them fine-tune their approach. You are responsible for the “what” and the “how.” ?? ?? Embrace "Upstream Work": That crucial stage between raw ideas and decision points is often overlooked. Teams spend weeks and sometimes months identifying key questions, going down rabbit holes, coming back up, drawing conclusions, and developing recommendations. My book "Decision Sprint" explores the hidden world of upstream work and offers a method. ?? ?? Leverage GenAI for Transformation: Transformations win or lose based on the quality of their upstream work. Critical thinking and problem-solving can be enhanced by bringing GenAI into your upstream workflows. That’s why I feel we are scratching the surface of GenAI when it comes to performing upstream work faster and better. ??? Calibration over Control: Giving teams the time for “purposeful exploration” may seem unstructured, but it’s a powerful way to avoid blindspots, speed up alignment, and reach decisions with confidence. ?? With Ritual, I’m channeling these insights into software, helping teams everywhere accelerate their ideas and objectives. Think workflow + GenAI. The future of work is about humans and AI collaborating effectively – an exciting 10-year journey ahead! ??
