What is your Mars Project?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: What becomes possible when we stop treating the limits we have placed around ourselves as permanent? Your Mars Project invites you to think further than you have ever thought and do more than you have ever done, guided by your own definition of prosperity. In Psychogenesis, Jack Ensign Addington shares what he identifies as Socrates’ definition of man:...

How to Avoid Floundering in a Sea of Indecision

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Insufficient understanding can send us towards the wrong solution, but waiting for complete certainty can leave us moving along the same course by default. The aim is to determine what must be known, what can remain uncertain and when there is enough understanding to decide responsibly. I spend a great deal of time questioning what happens when people move too quickly towards a solution without adequately understanding the problem....

How Many Jobs Are Hiding in That One Hiring Description?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Job descriptions often combine several related but operationally different functions because having one person cover them can make economic sense. The question is whether that calculation takes into account the actual work, its volume, competing priorities and the capacity one person has to deliver all of it well. I have been looking at job descriptions recently and as I read through what is required I hear myself voicing out loud......

A Decision Does Not Contain a Predictive Component

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: A good decision does not tell us what will happen. It simply reflects the quality of the understanding from which the choice was made. What makes one decision better than another? When we make a decision, we are not saying, “I know what will happen.” We are saying, “Given what I understand about the situation now, this is the course of action that makes the most sense.”...

You Cannot Deviate From a Baseline You Do Not Have

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: A deviation only tells us something when there is a consistent baseline against which to recognise it. Before trying to correct what has gone wrong, it is worth asking whether a reliable standard, rhythm or way of working ever existed in the first place....

Beware: Systems have Delays

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: We often expect system changes to produce visible results quickly, and when they do not, we can mistake delay for failure and intervene again too soon. The better response is not simply to wait, but to look for early signals that the conditions for the intended outcome are beginning to take shape....

When Our Expectations Become Someone Else’s Ceiling

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: What we assume people can do influences the opportunities we give them. Sometimes, the limits we see are the ones our own expectations have helped create. Walt Hunter was worried about his students. After nearly two decades of teaching, stories about declining reading habits, his own difficulty sustaining attention, and the availability of AI-generated essays had left him wondering how much reading he could reasonably expect them to do....

What Could Possibly Come From a Dot?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: We can overlook our abilities because they feel ordinary to us. Yayoi Kusama’s dots invite us to consider what we might develop from the things we take for granted about ourselves. I discovered Yayoi Kusama today. I was drawn in by a piece of art that someone shared and was intrigued by how this Japanese artist, was described as the queen of polka dots....

Knowing Enough to be Wrong

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: We can know enough about a situation to develop a convincing explanation and still be unaware of what that explanation has failed to account for. The confidence created by partial understanding can be more dangerous than knowing very little at all. You can know enough about a thing to think you’re right, but not know enough to know why you’re wrong....

When the Right Decision Makes Things Worse First

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Crocs deliberately accepted declining sales while it reduced discounts, restricted supply and cleared stale inventory from the market. Its experience shows why the earliest result of a decision does not always tell us whether the decision was right. When Crocs found itself with too much inventory and slowing sales, discounting offered the most immediate response....
