Innovation mostly gets positioned into ideation for new revenue generation, but innovation can be ‘process innovation’ creating new ways to perform and create itself. The latter is often a good place to start as this will give you the capabilities to innovate for customers.

When you’re measuring company performance, context matters. Designing what outcomes you want to achieve, working backwards from the customer and business objectives, will inform the operating model design. Then you can explore deeper into aspects of the operating models impact #productoperatingmodels #product #perfomance #management

Really like the idea from Rita McGrath to start shifting from using terms “Industry” to “Arena” when looking at business competitiveness and opportunities. A shift in mental models and move the boundaries beyond what is nowadays a unrealistic constraint. Many companies are extending portfolios across industry’s, and the notion of an industry’s limitations can yield dangerous blind spots of opportunities. #strategy #productmanagement

Something I’ve done annually which has helped me in my career is to reflect on these 3 questions:

1. What have I learnt this year and how am I stronger?
2. What will I learn next year to make me stronger and more impactful?
3. Am I happy and my best self and will that change?

The answers to these will determine whether I explore new roles, and/or invest in training, learning and life choices.

Anyone else go through a similar process?
