EXPLORE
▫︎Cross-functional multi-disciplined teams
▫︎ Lots of small bets
▫︎ Safe to fail experiments - only failure, is failure to learn
▫︎ Enough funding to do something, but no so much as to do nothing
▫︎Create a sense of urgency
▫︎Demonstrable evidence of value to proceed
24

EXPLOIT
▫︎ Kill projects, create end to end value stream customer facing teams
▫︎Continuous evaluation for funding model
▫︎Achieving break even point
▫︎Data-driven fact based decisions
▫︎Maintain a sense of urgency
▫︎ Set a vision, trust the team to get there, clear blockers and support as they proceed
▫︎Make sharing and organizational learning easy
26
SUSTAIN
▫︎Beware of feature factory fallacy
▫︎ Keep laser focus on what is valuable - where we can win
▫︎Do no get lazy, success hides sub-optimal issues
▫︎ Keep discipline with fact based decisions
▫︎What is being used, improved or removed?
▫︎How could we disrupt or get disrupted - do we care?
27
RETIRE
▫︎Has it serviced its purpose? Sunset
▫︎ It is providing value? Kill it?
▫︎Are there better opportunities to invest in?
▫︎ Remove product and system complexity
▫︎ Simplify to support further innovation
▫︎ Free up funds and capability
