As a CEO/Board you face a never-ending list of challenges, but only a few of those truly matter to the success of the business. Every business is different, but here are some common problems people come to me with:
How do we grow our headcount 4x-8x without breaking everything?
Sales/Commercial and Engineering/Product are badly out of synch with each other
Make the right decisions today so that we don’t later screw-up our Series B/C/D
We’re not sure how to use AI in our [new / existing] product portfolio
Practical solutions
I prefer to create and customize playbooks per-company, digging into the specific challenges you face (I’m a Playbook Builder, not a Playbook Runner) — but even so I have a bunch of playbooks that work particularly well as a starting point, even in complex situations.
