To synergise my strengths and become a thought leader

[SwanBuster]

Just thought I’d run this up the AIBU flagpole and see who salutes.

I’m coming into this thread with an open kimono, so if any one else would like to share the inner workings of their mind palace in order to grow together that would be great. We can always circle back to the original point.

Feel free to ping me off thread if theirs insufficient bandwidth to complete your thoughts here. No need to boil the ocean right now.

Basically, a recruiter has reached out asking me to be a thought leader. I’ve been actively eating my own dog food on a parallel path, but it might be time to spread the butter wider. Thoughts?

Yeah, I echo what @Whosthebestbabainalltheworld says.

Also, as noted upstream, a cumulative impact assessment could play well here, I'd suggest loading that in a sandbox environment to ensure adequate testing of waterfall follow through functionally.

God I use a lot of these.

Bandwidth (my lack of)
Circle back round (because otherwise my idiot stakeholders will forget what I've done for them)
Straw man (how else would you describe a comms plan written to still unclear dates?)

The one that annoys me is "shall we take this offline?" When invariably that means talking via email which is by nature online!!

Sorry - I was on mute

Literally crying whilst making Muttley noises 😹😹😹

@Dishh

Have you fully categorised and communicated the level of risk associated with an open kimono?

I think it’s mainly foxes who face risk from open kimonos.

Just throwing that into the pot.

It’s landed a bright crayon on my wall. I’d give you white smoke on this initiative.

aaaaarrrggghhh these replies 🤣🤣🤣

Is that any better? Can anyone hear me now? Oh dear, I think I’ve frozen.

Have just run a classics nomination up the committee flag pole. Some stellar learnings have been had from this pow pow.

I jumped into the thinktank but came up empty... need new energy heads on this

Concerned about snackable content, let's pivot back and workshop it. What's the temperature in the room? What are the learnings from the big data?

Can anyone pull together a quick one-pager on this? Just a starter for ten would be great for now. We need to play the game and some runs on the board for key stakeholders.

Hmmm... we could throw it in the strategy wok and see if it sizzles, but we might need a deep dive thematic before we can solutionise this one. Let's stick a pin in it and circle back - we might get away with just kicking the tyres if it's not in our KRIs.

I cannot believe that we don’t have a v-team in the co-lab on this project. Let’s break down those silos but keep it agile. Maybe have a sprint against these KPIs, circle back round with the stakeholders before we take it forward?

Spot on 🤣

You go, Glen Coco.

It all sounds a bit light touch, who's doing the heavy lifting?

@esavian - aren't those just tactful ways of saying "stick to the point!"?

Don't disqualify Journey into synergy

I'm dying. Had a meeting this week with a millennial management consultant and I literally understood 50% of what she was saying. The incomprehensible 50% was this thread.

She said 'silos' several times and I was like WTF?

this thread is life. Thanks OP

This thing needs to wash its own face or we’ll have more SLAs and KPIs than we can round table sandbox.

AGILE.

I might start ending all my emails

AGILE.

I’d like to pitch for a co-produced rag rating on the action plan to confirm scalability to the board. And where’s the integration index sitting?

In the interests of modelling skillful time management to the team, with one eye on rest and recuperation while addressing my personal work life balance, I'm going to mull this over and ping my ideas round the team at a later stage. Loving the blue sky thinking but need to consider sustainability and how it'll all work on an operational level. Let's all touch base soon - meantime, keep in the loop so we can synergise and move forward now we've got the bare bones of a strategy vis a vis team culture.
