    • ASMR for Executives: Radical Transparency for Exponential Disorganizations
      Radical Transparency is the key to removing friction and increasing alignment in your (dis)organization. You may have heard the saying, "Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast."  Transparency is a core cultural value for Exponential (dis)organizations – gossip is the shadow. It promises, "You will read it the news on our blog before you see it on the front page of the New York Times." 
      (01:35 - 02:46) ASMR for Executives: This is what you came for.
      (03:03 - 03:46) Slack Channel Designer: Otter Notes vs Giphy

    • The 4Cs of Sustainable Innovation: Stage gates and KPIs for Project Managers

      Mahalo to Andrea Kershaw, my inspiring colleague and location head for IDEO Singapore, for the tutelage on KPIs, and Professor Leonard Lane, who gave me a tremendous learning experience at Fung Academy, which lead to my insights on managing a pipeline of innovation projects and informed the 4Cs of Sustainable Innovation: Clarity, Capability, Capacity, and Consent.

      *The 5th C could be: 

      • Coolness - Is this cool, like really, really cool?
      • Craft - Does it extend our craft? Will we learn from it?
      • Coordination - Can we get everyone together?
      • Coincidence - Spooky cosmic alignments

        • 00:00 - 01:01    Hey, are you writing this down? How do you expect to learn this? Thereʻs going to be a test.

        01:02 - 02:08   What are KPIs? There are at least 4 types of KPIs.
        03:43 - 04:27   Mahalos! (IDEO Singapore was a magical studio while it lasted.)
        04:28 - 05:00  Test time (I told you there would be a test)
        05:01 - 05:41    Tools for Clarification: Whiteboarding and A3 Thinking
