THE JUICY T

All the strategy decks, budgets and KPIs in the world may have trouble accounting for the changes we're all experiencing within our industries, organizations, teams and even ourselves. The moving goal post has been exhausting for many...hence the BUMP, SET, SPIKE theme for this quarter's gathering. How do we set our teams, leadership, employees, and yes ourselves up for "success" in the current outlook?

The BUMP: the daily grind of small-but-meaningful disruptions that communicate consideration of human values over AI efficiencies; the initiative to creatively problem solve and consider all possible hurdles; operating from a "porcupine-defense" strategy to be prepared for all possible scenarios and equally as prepared to respond (not react) to the data

The SET: creating intentional community of allies around the people program strategy table; understanding the org's top priorities, gathering data to align with those priorities

The SPIKE: cross-functional operational excellence; approved communications plans that really work; end results that you can stand behind


Pack your volleyball pads, y'all (not literally...maybe we can do a fun summer culturelympics, but not today...). We're gonna throw some proverbial balls in the air and leverage teamwork to bump, set and spike those balls over the net.
