● Culture● Leadership● Design● Team
It’s never just one thing
• Lean on planning, agile on execution• Solving the problem rather than planning to solve it• Tame need for unachievable certainty
AGILE
• Less is more, Focus on what truly matters• Remove processes & minimize overhead, reallocation• Two Pizza rule

CHANGE IS THE ONLY
CONSTANTVUCA isn't something to be solved, it simply is!
volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity
• Organic adoption – provide a disruptive technology that doesn’t disrupt them – the only way for change to stick
“To improve is to change,
to perfect is to change often”
CULTURE
“when starting a new company or initiative, culture is the most important thing to consider.”
CULTURE
Eric SchmidtExecutive Chairman, Alphabet Inc.
Innovation can’t be ordained. However, you can create an environment
where it will evolve organically
• Team is the basic unit of the org, the manager part of it• Diversity trumps ability – for teams and digital talent• Find people managers to lead people
