Hey, happy Monday!<\/span><\/p>\n

This week’s focus is on the Process level.<\/span><\/p>\n

For some it is as thin as a hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

The way of working is passed down orally by the few who know how.<\/span><\/p>\n

For others it is often like an insulating rubber wall. <\/span><\/p>\n

To separate common sense from possible mistakes and bounce, on occasion, the problem away from one’s table.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is here, however, that managers play the most important game.<\/span><\/p>\n

The one that links discipline with execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where the value of a company is created along with the freedom of people.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that meeting where you work “<\/span>on the<\/b> business” and not “<\/span>in the<\/b> business” does not appear in any calendar….<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cfProcesses \/ Working at 10,000 mt.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The copywriters’ last resort is to steal a phrase from Albert Einstein like this one that fits the theme particularly well: “Folly lies in doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.”<\/p>\n

Do you know who else you can find on this beach that always seems to be comfortable considering how crowded it is?<\/p>\n

Those in meetings only complain about the numbers thinking it is just inability or inattention.<\/p>\n

But the numbers are the effect of how good the processes are.<\/p>\n

But how often do you get a chance to stop, analyze and optimize them?<\/p>\n

Who is authorized to do this? Who is responsible for it? <\/p>\n

When leads are lacking, it is not the advertising that fails but the customer acquisition process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When customers are missing, it is not the sales<\/strong> people who are not good, but the sales process<\/strong> that is the most random and “magical” of business activities.<\/p>\n

When the client is dissatisfied with the work, it is not the client who is a \ud83d\udca9, but the design process<\/strong> that is made up only of empathy, aesthetic sense and ego instead of structure, priorities and testing.<\/p>\n

Your schedule will already be full of moments to work together with your colleague on how to get things done, probably something you will have done a thousand times.<\/p>\n

As they say… this meeting could have been an email, maybe a phone call, better yet a message on slack but more than anything else <\/span>a page in the playbook .<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is no accident that I used the word playbook<\/strong>. Precisely to describe that set of documents that codify a team’s modus operandi for systematically succeeding while having fun<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It is time to schedule the Process Meeting in which:
\n\u2713 put the phone is in Airplane Mode
\n\u2713 climb 10,000 meters above the task level
\n\u2713 talk about the how and not the what<\/p>\n

 <\/h2>\n

\u25cfProcesses\/tools for leaders.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Those who decide to work on processes enjoy higher EBITDA, more productive meetings, and more resources to innovate–as well as more time to spend on the things that matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The alternative is to remain dissatisfied with people’s results and not know what to change, to get stuck on calls where you explain to everyone how to do their job.<\/span><\/p>\n

And therein lies the key, managers do not manage people, <\/span>but processes<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

They identify bottlenecks and resolve them before it is too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

They stop doing Management by Expectation and finally do <\/span>Management by Real Time Numbers\u2122.<\/b><\/p>\n

What you see above (if you don’t see it, turn on the image download) is the <\/span>STRTGY Process Framework\u2122, <\/b>a framework on which to surface and optimize the structuring of a work process. <\/span><\/p>\n

If it has happened that a colleague of yours, or even worse a client, has asked you, “<\/span>what is the next step ?<\/b>“, then you need to learn more about this tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do it only if it is important to you….<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose when<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25cf PRODUCT MANAGEMENT DAY \/ November 26, 2021<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our friends at 20tabs<\/strong> have organized, for the first time in Italy, a day entirely dedicated to Product Management. A free event with big names, insights and networking. <\/p>\n

\u2713 9 wow effect speakers
\n\u2713 7 hours of super-interesting talk
\n\u2713 1 digital stage only<\/p>\n

I have prepared an exclusive talk for the occasion.<\/p>\n

I will show you how to use Jobs-to-be-Done<\/strong> theory to turn qualitative surveys into a product roadmap with mathematical precision<\/strong>. We will walk together through the steps of the process that starts with user interviews and ends by interpreting the data to influence product strategy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

See you there.<\/p>\n
