think critically, get focused
- you are inspired
- 4-6 weeks
- find winning ideas
- let “average” ones go
- you own ideas
- winning criteria – can I do things faster, better, cheaper or easier
- business materiality – impact on business must be “material” , not “cosmetic” improvements
- owners are born here – if not, execution can not start
- saying “no” to an idea is fine
- switch team to “investor” thinking instead being employee
- critical review and select ideas the ones worth the time
- leverage external expertise to check financials and technical feasibility (back of envelope)
- agree and commit winning ideas
