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?

Can someone ping myself (sorry, it killed me to type that) an email giving a deep dive on this while I try to get my cats in a line? The ducks are already in a row, the cats are problematic.

I'm just disappointed that nobody has put anything in their toaster yet to see what pops up.

It’s clear that there are many issues to explore; let me percolate over night and I’ll get back to you first thing…

Really interesting thoughts here. Before we progress further, I think that we need some focus groups to gather insight as any decisions must be data driven.
OP, great if you can lead on this but please can you close your kimono and tidy up the dog food?

Lets sit down and start eating the elephant, one bite at a time.

Sounds great let's get together to map out some going forward achievables

Have a cappachoochoo on me

You may have laid the golden egg here, OP. You just need to curate the space

You feed your dog butter?

Agile? Please no vanilla, let's blue sky and then try different ways of slicing and dicing.

Belt and braces

I have been guilty of saying more than one of these at work the past week

Is this how they talk in London? Thank fuck I'm a farmer, even my sheep make more sense than this.

I only deal with the crocodiles closest to the canoe and dont have the bandwith for a deep dive on this today. But, lets chat off line and kick the can down the road a little.

I’ve just said to one of my team to put it in their toaster and see what pops up. He looked at me sadly and said yes, I’ll have a think.

I’m gonna use this thread to amuse myself as I’m bored of putting the divider longways at the till in Aldi 🤣🤣

Does anyone know what the current mood music is?

I think I’d like to take this offline, perhaps with a deck to help us going forward - shall I reach out to some subject matter experts so we can map out deliverables?

Does anyone know what the current mood music is?

Is anyone tapped into the battle rythmn? Have we allocated a scrum to Aunt Sally? A real paradigm shift

Apologies for the tight turn around but I just wanted to close the loop here and be sure we were all singing from the same hymn sheet. If you could take the lead OP on how this amazing opportunity pans out then I'm sure soon we could all be living the dream.

I just think we've all got to get on board with the fact that the higher-ups will be asking - is the squeeze really worth the juice on this one?

Put it in the backlog

I don't know OP, it doesn't sound disruptive, have you considered a sprint? If so, reach out.

169 posts - think it's time for a sanity check

Do we need a scrum or scrum of scrums for this? Do we have epics and stories? Are we sprint ready?

Who is holding the pen?

Sorry - had a huge work stack so picked the low hanging fruit to give myself furtherance. Going forward I'll march with the squad towards achievabilty on all war fronts.

Sorry I’m late - I had technical issues. I just wanted to add that before we reach out to any further parties, we need to have a complete drains up and make sure we have all our ducks in a row.

I've just been in a meeting where they are talking about hockey stick for the pipeline???
