Unleash the potential
of your team
Tech companies win when employees take initiative.
The Hero
The best performance comes from teams where employees take initiative.
The Villain
Autonomy is not enough.
The more managers control what ideas to explore, the less employees take initiative. Your company ends up operating at a fraction of its potential.
The Plan
Launch a skunkworks program to open up a second engine for innovation.
This lets employees take on experimental projects to explore new ideas. It’s a fast path to the swarm intelligence that makes startups so nimble.
This isn’t Google’s 20% time. The second engine comes entirely from extra productivity, with zero impact to official projects and schedules.
Tech Company Challenges
(that your employees can take initiative to help solve)
New Product
“Everything is riding on this new product. We can’t afford to have it fail in the market.”
Feature Trap
“We’re so busy with feature work that we don’t have the bandwidth to innovate the next big thing.”
Falling Behind
“Our product is showing its age and its getting harder and harder to compete against new offerings.”
The Stakes
Your company was once the star of the industry. Growing quickly. Full of adventure.
Now growth has slowed. The adventure is gone. Careers are at risk.
If your team can’t restart growth, all will be lost.
The Quest
It’s time to gear up and begin the adventure.
