one of the reasons I wanted to post/share this here is I'm really interested in thoughts and feedback from others working on the front lines of this. I've had some really interesting conversations in the past few weeks with ML experts, in the blockchain community, while also working on designing/building a data (analytics) pipeline for my new app (all while reading the news and generally losing my sh*t). it really feels like a lot of the forrest is being missed for the trees, and the rate of change is happening at a pace where security is having a hard time keeping up.

The belief that corporate strategy somehow exists separately or independently from marketing/sales/go-to-market strategy is not a good baseline assumption to operate from.

thanks. could agree more. communicating strategy is incredibly important and a gap that seems to happen often in companies. there's a big difference at the employee level between (a) a strategy that exists [somewhere at the executive/management level] and (b) a strategy that exists and is transparent, well-communicated and well-understood.

This is why I think a hierarchical, cascading V2MOM or OKR approach is a helpful communication vehicle to transfer strategy top-down and build consensus and participation in the strategy process bottom-up.

thanks Peter, appreciate the feedback. I kept ideation as part of the "Insights" phase but you're correct, it could be split into (1) research and (2) ideation. I'll check out Victor's work. best, Chris
