The Agile Scaleup

BofA Stock; Wiki Help; Who’s #1; Feb 22, 2:22pm ET

Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better.
                                              Bill Bradley

Bank of America is betting some employees won't want to quit if that means leaving thousands of dollars of stock on the table.
                                              CNN

Leading@Scale – Feb 22, 2:22pm – 5:22pm ET 
No charge, this is our next major virtual Summit co-hosted with YPO and EO globally. Featuring Warren Buffett’s protégé; the producer of the award-winning My Octopus Teacher; the YPOer who crowd sourced $6 billion in gold; and 5 other top-notch biz leaders – we’ll show how the powerful principles of nature, as detailed in Teeming 2.0 (my fave book of the century), are not fantasy or fiction – but alive in the most progressive companies. For more information and to sign up your team, this will be the most important 3 hours of exec ed so far this year! 

BofA Grants $1 Billion Stock to All Employees 
This CNN piece describes how Bank of American is granting restricted stock to virtually all its employees to attract and retain talent.  They are banking on this working better than the cash bonuses they’ve been using (ave. $750 last year). The value of the restricted stock ranges from $2900 ($45 stock) to $27,000 and vests over 4 years starting in 2023. Replacing quarterly bonuses with longer term gain-sharing plans aligns with our 5 design principles in Scaling Up Compensation. Design your comp scheme to work better for you! Thx to Scaling Up Coach CEO John Ratliff for sharing.

Wikipedia for Business 2022 – Released this Week
It’s critical your Wikipedia listing is accurate and useful. Subtitled: The Rules & Latest Developments that Businesses & Communicators Need to Know to Succeed, author Josh Greene, CEO of the Mather Group, is also our Wikipedia advisor. He helped us correct many inaccuracies in our listings – including my birthdate and age! More importantly, Wikipedia, since it’s often the first thing that comes up when people search, needs to be a part of your overall SEO and online presence strategy. Grab a copy for $4.95 (Kindle version) for your CMO.

US First; China Second -- # of Gazelle Firms
With a specific definition of firms yet to be public but likely to become a “unicorn” (over $1 billion in valuation), the latest global list was released on Tuesday. US ranked first (and San Fran the top city) with 201 of the 525 globally; China ranked second (Shanghai and Beijing 2^nd and 3^rd cities) with 171. See this short China Daily article for the industries most represented and other details. Thx to Mirko Wormuth for pointing me to this article.

3000 Years of Business History in Two Minutes
Notes this Bain & Co article and video “Over the next 10 years, we will see the nature of the firm reshaped by the cumulative impact of external and internal forces.”   Go to the 3-minute mark of the video and watch the next 30 seconds – in short, middle management is gone, division of labor is ending, and companies will need 2 engines. I agree and it’s why we’re hosting the Feb 22 event noted above – this is the new “nature” way to scale and it’s happening now – tune in and outlearn the competition. Thx to Paul Berman for sharing the link.

Planning to Exit?
It’s the most critical decision a business owner will make in their lifetime – and over my 40 years of helping firms I’ve seen owners taken advantage of time and time again – leaving tens of millions on the table. You’re up against sophisticated buyers who have done hundreds of acquisitions – whereas this is often your first rodeo. And these buyers have a formula for ripping you off – and it works. Seeking help, owners find the big M&A firms, especially those specializing in your industry, are more beholden to the buyers than the sellers (they will tell you otherwise). They are not your friend in the process, just another transaction. Email me to get a white paper on what to avoid when exiting verne@scalingup.com.

Airbnb CEO; CEO Optimism; 100x; Feb 2, 2022 2:22pm ET

Always look for the fool in the deal. If you don’t find one, it’s you.
                                              Mark Cuban

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
                                              Stephen Covey

Feb 02, 2:22pm ET– Making Scaling Simpler
We’re choosing 100 scaleups to participate in a 20-citywide initiative called 20,000 Scaleups in June. Piloted in London and Sydney, it brings the power of the MIT program I founded to your entire leadership team, giving them an opportunity to interact with other CFOs, COOs, VP Sales, HR, IT, etc. If you have aspirations to reach $100 million in revenue or valuation (maybe you’ll exit before) – then sign up and tune-in Feb 02, 2:22pm ET where I’ll explain.

CEO Optimism is High for 2022
Fortune/Deloitte’s latest survey of Fortune 500 CEOs (175 responded) found 65% are expecting growth to be strong or very strong. Top 4 constraints: labor, pandemic, supply chain, inflation.

100x Return on Financial Incentives
This McKinsey article details 7 principles in setting up generous financial incentives to drive maximum benefit during a transformation of the business – in many cases providing a 100x return on the incentives you provide! The article goes on to note: “Compensation is a key reason why people switch jobs and providing financial incentives can help organizations retain their top employees.”

7 Principles for Outlier Performance
Keeping the design of incentives simple; tying to ambitious (not attainable) goals; and encouraging broad participation of the entire company are three of the seven. Please take 2 minutes to scan all 7 principles and then design an incentive plan for 2022 to drive outstanding results. Note, these incentives need to be built on top of a well thought out compensation plan that represents “Fairness not sameness” -- one of our 5 design principles in Scaling Up Compensation.  Thank you YPO Israel for hosting me this week for a virtual presentation on the topic of compensation (I’m available to speak to your CEO group as well on this important topic – verne@scalingup.com  

Name That Strategy
You don’t have a strategy unless you’ve named it, something Hubert Joly emphasized in his book The Heart of Business (about the turnaround of Best Buy). Scaling Up’s 2022 strategy is called “Blue Ocean’s 22.” What is the code name for your strategy? It’s an important creative decision. No military mission would think to move forward without a name – please name yours for 2022! Then put it on shirts (like my client Mynd has done) and on everything else you print this year. Keep it top of mind.

Firsthand Intel – Airbnb CEO Eating His Own Dog Food
Brian Cheskey, the billionaire ($12 billion) CEO of Airbnb, announced this week he is going to live full-time in Airbnb properties, rotating to a new one every few weeks. Remote work affords many this kind of opportunity and he wants to explore the benefits personally. This Forbes article details his plans. And imagine what he’ll learn, firsthand, about what’s working and not inside his own firm!! All markets and wars are won through intel – what are you doing in 2022 to walk in the shoes of your customers.

Omicron; Tesla; Kroger; Scoreboard Jan 18

Once the omicron variant passes, Covid will be more like the seasonal flu.
                                              Bill Gates

…the company simply had a superior command of technology and its own supply chain.
                                              NY Times on Tesla

Tech Drivers/Disciplines -- Jan 19 Webinar for CEOs/COOs 
Technology is replacing many of the functions of management – and Jim Collins suggests it’s a key to driving “disciplined action” as companies go from good to great. Join me Wednesday, January 19 at 2PM EST for a webinar where I (Verne Harnish) will delve into a system of maximizing the tools and habits at the heart of Scaling Up to empower your team leads to drive results. You will also learn how Align/Scoreboard, as the official Scaling Up software, can help accelerate your execution – and give you real-time mobile-ready visibility (like sports teams have) into their data to make better and quicker decisions.

Data Analytics – Go/No Go Decision on Selecting New Sites
Every sports team has a data analytics function – and so should you. Scaling Up Coach Rob Nankervis shared Monday how an industrial client he coaches is using targeted pieces of demographic data to inform the go/no go decisions in selecting new sites for their expanding B2B business (most think this is just a B2C exercise). They also track metrics on all elements of their Flywheel and Brand Promise. Thus, they have strong optics on where they’re going and how fast they are getting there.

5% Decrease in Price; 10% Increase in Volume?
At one of our coach-led planning sessions, the head of sales suggested that if the company lowered prices by 5% they could increase volume 10% -- revenues would go up. The Scaling Up coach put the numbers in Alan Miltz’s Cash Flow Story software (all our coaches have a global license to use – the only coaching organization which does) and it showed that such a scenario, given the company’s business model, would reduce cash by almost $750k and reduce profit by over $500k. Worst, it would hurt the company valuation by over $3 million. Nothing like a cold fact to end a debate. In turn, if prices were raised 5% and volume decreased 10% (revenue down), it would generate an additional $500k in cash and profit -- and increase valuation by $1.5 million! Better not to guess at things like this. 

Jan 18 Webinar for CFOs…or Anyone Who Cares About Cash 
Alan Miltz, creator of Cash Flow Story, will show how many companies are “growing broke” – and making bad decisions re: price, volume, etc. As one of the 4 Key Decisions, Cash determines the health of your business. And as the economy accelerates in 2022, the risk of running out of cash is much greater. My friend and cash guru Alan Miltz has dedicated his career to making the numbers simple. January 18th he’ll share how you can avoid cash concerns with just seven 1% or 1-day changes – and his tool which makes it easy to test various scenarios quickly.

Strikes Over Wages Are Back – Scaling Up Compensation 
Grocery chain Kroger’s King Supers has a mess in Colorado with thousands of workers going on strike. With inflation announced at 7% yesterday, the pressure on wages is huge. Please grab an eBook copy of Scaling Up Compensation and get on top of this important decision in 2022.

Tesla’s Flexibility Drives Results Over Rivals
This NY Times article details why Tesla is soaring and other auto manufacturers aren’t. In short, “…the company simply had a superior command of technology and its own supply chain.” It controlled its own destiny by writing its own software. This lets it quickly update the software to accommodate chips that were more readily available. In turn, Mercedes and others, using thousands of different specialty chips, were crippled when a few of those chips became unavailable. Where is your supply chain a problem and how are you going to better control your destiny in 2022 and beyond? Thx to Scaling Up coach Bill Gallagher for sharing.

Bill Gates Latest on Omicron
The above quote came from this CNBC article where Bill Gates suggests after Omicron runs its course Covid can be treated more like a seasonal flu. And WHO and others are suggesting that getting more boosters risks hurting our natural immune systems.

Joyful; Warning; $65 million; Cash Jan 18

Execution pays your salary; innovation pays your pension.
                                              Steve Blank

As leaders, we need to stop thinking out loud.
                                              Jeff Immelt

Jan 18 Webinar for CFOs…or Anyone Who Cares About Cash
As one of the 4 Key Decisions, Cash determines the health of your business. And as the economy accelerates in 2022, the risk of running out of cash is much greater. My friend and cash guru Alan Miltz will show you how to increase cash flow significantly. He’s dedicated his career to making the numbers simple. January 18th he’ll share how you can avoid cash concerns with just seven 1% changes – and a tool to make it easy. Learn more here: https://hubs.li/Q011v51P0

Jeff Immelt’s Advice to Leaders
The 38-minute mark in Ron Lovett’s Culture podcast interview is where former GE CEO Jeff Immelt suggests you need to stop thinking out loud as a leader.   Notes Ron, “When Jeff mentioned it, at first I didn’t react well to this idea.  Then I had my Aha moment.   As entrepreneurs/leaders we are so used to thinking out loud, we need to be mindful of who we are doing it in front of.  People hang off our every word.   When we are speaking out loud with our crazy ideas, this can frighten people or worse, turn into a distracting to-do list.”  Amen!

Warn Your Team
Ron continues, “Now, depending on who I’m with, before I start to think out loud, I will start the discussion with ‘I’m about to think out loud so be prepared to just listen, provide feedback but do not act on anything I say :).’  This has already proven to be helpful.” Sage advice Ron! Please grab your favorite beverage and enjoy this 54-minute wide-ranging interview of a business icon (who fell out of favor – what makes it interesting).

Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things… 
…to Create Extraordinary Happiness. Ron also highly recommends Ingrid Fetell Lee’s book Joyful. In short, she shares how making a few simple tangible changes to your physical environment can bring you and your team/family an immense feeling of joy. Based on what he learned, his newest initiative at VIDA, to further the purpose of revolutionizing affordable communities, is explained next.

Power of Color/Light
The book notes, “…people working/living in bright, colorful places were more alert than those working in duller spaces. They were also more joyful, interested, friendly, and confident.”

As such, “Inspired by the wonderful colors in the doors of Dublin we decided to implement that same strategy at VIDA. We have 12 bright colors which we are using on all-suite doors now. This is providing our residence with a huge sense of community. They not only finally feel cared for but we are receiving feedback that the doors are actually playing a role in brightening residences days which is helping with anxiety and mental health.”  What will you do to add more color to your environment?



10 Aesthetics for Adding Joy
In all, Ingrid identifies ten aesthetics of joy, each of which reveals a distinct connection between the feeling of joy and the tangible qualities of the world around us – so much more than just color/light to add to your physical environment:
           Energy: vibrant color and light
           Abundance: lushness, multiplicity, and variety
           Freedom: nature, wildness, and open space
           Harmony: balance, symmetry, and flow
           Play: circles, spheres, and bubbly forms
           Surprise: contrast and whimsy
           Transcendence: elevation and lightness
           Magic: invisible forces and illusions
           Celebration: synchrony, sparkle, and bursting shapes
           Renewal: blossoming, expansion, and curves
