Execution (4)

Methodologies(4)

Execution

A product execution framework that prioritizes deep understanding of problems before identifying solutions, countering the common 'Identify -> Justify -> Execute' anti-pattern which often leads to flat metrics.

Core Principles

  • 1.Replace 'Identify, Justify, Execute' with 'Understand, Identify, Execute'.
  • 2.Create intentional roadmap affordance for 'Understand Work' (e.g., data instrumentation, research).
  • 3.Parallel path execution of knowns with understanding of unknowns.

"First you have to really understand from first principles what is actually going on. So understand, identify, execute."

Execution

A decision-making framework to objectively evaluate career opportunities and current roles by calculating potential impact as a product of environmental factors and personal skills.

Core Principles

  • 1.Impact is the primary input to optimize for; compensation is the output.
  • 2.Impact = Environment × Skills.
  • 3.Environment variables: Manager, Resources, Scope, Team, Compensation, Culture.
  • +1 more...

"The impact is only achievable by looking at a set of variables related to the environment, and a set of variables related to your skills."

Execution

A growth strategy focused on identifying and solving for the user segment immediately outside the current core user base—people who are aware of the product but struggle to adopt it due to specific barriers.

Core Principles

  • 1.Hypergrowth changes the user persona rapidly.
  • 2.The core user is happy; the adjacent user is struggling.
  • 3.To grow, you must identify the specific barriers (skills, device, cultural) of the adjacent layer.
  • +1 more...

"You've got to be on top of who you believe the next user is... and literally see what they're doing in real time in order to make sure that you're enabling the right jobs for them."

Execution

A diagnostic tool for managing complex organizational change. It posits that successful change requires five specific components, and the absence of any one component leads to a specific negative emotional symptom.

Core Principles

  • 1.Change = Vision + Skills + Incentives + Resources + Action Plan.
  • 2.Missing Vision → Confusion.
  • 3.Missing Skills → Anxiety.
  • +3 more...

"If you're missing the vision component, you end up in a state of confusion... if you're missing an action plan, you end up in a state of false starts."
