Service Design: How do you ensure that in a creative situation (like business modeling), your team moves fast, feels inspired to perform and drives the process?

Kerby Meyers, Strategic thinker and communicator, author answered:

Hi:
Sounds like things are moving along well -- nice job.
There will be fits and starts to any venture, so as you assess what's going on here, consider:
* stepping back and realistically determining if you're being fair to this process -- everyone has different work styles and you should respect those differences within the context of constantly making progress
* discussing the situation with your co-founders (can't tell if the creator is one of them) and making sure you're aligned on expectations for this stage -- and whether those expectations are being met
* renewing your broader strategy/vision with the team to ensure that everyone knows what the ultimate goals are (beyond the stages getting there)
* Developing a 30/60/90 plan (or something like it) complete with goals, measurables and tactics that are built around making progress
If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes.
Cheers,
Kerby
