Companies often make the mistake of assuming their "closest competitors" are those most similar and proximate to their business now. When it's really about who has permission, interest and competency to enter their market in the future. It's taking decades for people to understand this. And it's not really disruption theory, often new competitors don't have lower costs or a cheaper underlying technology, they just serve people better, make a better product, are better orchestrated etc. …see more

The first steps of big companies "acting like a startup" are often about 5 or 6 steps which a start up would never dream of doing.  I think big companies offer massive advantages, but these things can't be gestures, they have to be entire cultural pivots, and that takes longer and more effort than most realize. …see more

One of my biggest pet peeves in communication—especially business communication—is unnecessary complexity.🤦🏼‍♀️ I suggest maximizing the power of your words by simplifying them.💁🏼‍♀️ Communication doesn’t have to be hard; here are four ways to keep it simple: 1️⃣ Aim for clarity over clever🎯 Yes, it’s tempting to be witty in your latest marketing campaign, but if it leaves your audience scratching their heads, you’re in trouble. To avoid confusing people, always aim for clarity. 2️⃣ Avoid unnecessary jargon❌ Swap acronyms and buzzwords for plain language to increase your odds of your message being received—and understood. 3️⃣ Make brevity your friend✂️ When you want to deliver a message, think concise and compelling. Be intentional about your communication, eliminate extraneous material, and get to the point. 4️⃣ Focus on one takeaway🔍 A good rule of thumb is that each piece of content should revolve around one central theme. This forces you to get specific about and home in on your message. And that focus promotes better understanding, making it easier for your audience to understand your perspective. Business and life are complicated enough; keep your communication simple.✅ #communication #content #simplicity …see more
