I’ll never forget the moment the Disney team turned around the performance of the Animal Kingdom theme park. This beautiful park opened in 1999, full of compelling backstories and adventure. However, it wasn’t resonating with the Disney guests as expected. The breakthrough solution to this challenge came in the middle of a 2-day strategy session.

An improvement team at my client was struggling to get started on their experiment. They spent nearly a month interviewing people in multiple functions, trying to understand all the possible permutations of the current condition. They discovered that it’s really, really complicated. And that made it difficult to start improving the process. Trying to get all the pieces in place for their first experiment was laborious—so many moving pieces, so many people to include, so many variations to consid

Ever since working at McKinsey, I’ve been fascinated by the financial services industry. In every other industry, you know what your costs and revenues were this year and at the end of the year you can calculate your profit. However, in a sense this is not the case with many financial institutions. When your homeowner's insurance company collects their annual fee from you, they know their revenues for the year.

I started this series asking where “Agile” was headed. (I didn't like what I saw at the Agile 2019 conference.) Part 1 was about the 4 big problems I see. Part 2 was why we need managers. Part 3 was about how people want a recipe. This part is about what “Agile” or “agile” means. I understand that people want what they perceive as the value “Agile” will bring them.

And that, dear reader, is the complete story of human psychology in a nutshell! Just think of all the marketing stuff you are aware of every day. We see commercials on TV, hear ads on the radio, see clickbait on websites, and get promotions via email.

We’re now in the midst of the traditional strategic planning season.

Many of my students have been told that they need to have “confidence” and “fake it until you make it.”. I only half agree with this sentiment. I think it is important to be confident. This is especially the case when you don’t know what you’re talking about. Instead of faking competence, I encourage you to confidently own your ignorance in a particular area and to ask questions.

Nothing hatches without preparation and time; a concept we can easily learn from the animal kingdom and ourselves. But what happens when we spend too much time planning, designing, strategizing, thinking about the journey and struggling to develop the answers to all anticip

Back in the ’90s, One2One—a now defunct British mobile phone company—ran a successful advertising campaign about who celebrities would most like a phone call with. Unsurprisingly, nobody suggested their auditor. However, our research suggests that if the same question was put today to senior finance executives, some people might actually really want a one-to-one with their external auditor.
