[preso] The After Party: Refactoring After 100x Hypergrowth. Did your team or company just go through a bonkers period of rapid growth? This presentation (and transcript) offers up some lessons learned.
[article] Your Strategy Needs a Story. I’ve learned that if you’re not telling stories, nobody is listening. Facts, figures, yelling and screaming don’t work. Good article on applying storytelling to your strategy deployment.
