You are invited to join members of the Executive Connection for our next speaker session, led by speaker Peter Laurie on “Team Based Execution in Uncertainty”.

Team Based Execution in Uncertainty

The business world is accelerating.

While “Innovation” is always great, how do we do this in a time of uncertainty? How do we do this when the team is flat out managing the current changes?

The Theme for TEC 35 this year is “Get back on to the bridge”. This talk is for business leaders knowing that imperative but struggling to find ways to lead their team through the uncertainty of 2023.

Here is Peter’s Post following giving the same talk to TEC 44

Key Learnings and Take-aways

  • Why is innovation so uncertain?

  • If the plan is uncertain, how do we operate?

  • Communicating "common sense"

  • Sending a team into uncertainty - Back-casting, pre-mortems

  • Another take on Objectives and Key Results - No Fail vs Stretch Goals

  • Creating ownership of estimates
