"Everything You Need is Already Inside"

Bill Bowerman

Most organizations already have the majority of what's needed to supercharge a capability. 

What's key is that they connect, explore and align on a common purpose, impact, and beliefs.

Facilitation of cross-functional teams to co-create a blueprint that breaks down siloes is key. 

People adopt and embrace change more when they see their fingerprints on the design.

African Proverb

Alignment in large global complex organizations can be tough, but it's not impossible. 

The best teams share several common traits:

🧭   They are aligned and committed to their collective purpose

🦸🏻‍♀️   They comprise diverse superpowers that make the whole > than the sum of their parts

👀   The team recognizes, appreciates and maximizes the superpowers of each team member

Voltaire

There is more power in mastering and integrating the functions, than lone spikes of brilliance.

Always striving for excellence and improvement is a noble cause. 

But do so with agility, and recognize when "good enough" is just that, when further efforts to yield incremental impact. 

Peak fitness comes from exercising all the body parts. 

Put your limited time, resources and effort where they'll add the most step-change value.

At WEF 2018, Justin Trudeau famously said:

"Think about it: The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again. There’s enormous opportunity, and enormous potential, in that realization."

Change and the need to reinvent is constant. 

Learning agility is the only skill that will never go out of fashion.
