This article accurately identifies the "alignment tax" as a major culprit slowing product delivery in scaling organisations. It's not about individuals, but systems. Addressing this requires redesigned structures to ensure value flows, a challenge I'm deeply passionate about! #ProductLeadership #OrganisationalDesign 💡 https://insideproductorg.substack.com/p/the-hidden-tax-slowing-your-product
The Hidden Tax Slowing Your Product Org

At some point in every product organization’s story, the C-level or Board starts to ask the dreaded question: Why is shipping features taking so long?

Inside Product
The "acceleration trap" is real. Nokia's demise wasn't complacency, but exhaustion from relentless, unabsorbed change. I know: I was there! This thought-provoking article underlines that constant motion without recovery leads to burnout & stifles true progress. It's time to champion deliberate adaptation in our organisations. https://mikefisher.substack.com/p/when-change-outruns-us #ChangeManagement #OrganisationalDesign

Managers and Directors love a good strategy deck, but who’s talking about the people who deliver it?

Leadership doesn’t arrive pre-installed. It must be designed, stretched, mentored—and yes, given a structured chance.

🔧 Welcome to Strategic People Architecture.

Let me know your thoughts—especially if your org is wrestling with succession planning or the "just-in-time" hiring fantasy.

Strategic People Architecture

Most organisations obsess over 10-year business strategies but forget to plan for the people who'll deliver them. Strategic people architecture fixes that. It institutionalises structured chance-giving, succession scaffolding, and developmental stretch—ensuring talent is grown, not guessed at. Done well, it's not just effective; it's ethical. Because the future doesn't staff itself. And leadership can't be installed like an app.
