In the past, lack of prioritization for the delivery teams led to a mismatch between the planned strategies and the work delivered. When you bring these 2 processes together, the focus shifts prioritizing the work that is needed to deliver the value in the window of opportunity.

In complex multi- year transformation at scale, alignment to decisions across senior executives is critical. However, the processes to achieve alignment can burden (aka burnout) the team and seriously slow decision making. Building trust is a key component to success. Trust allows space for quicker decisions driven by intuition + experience + just enough data. The quote below from the article is something I’ve witnessed countless times resulting significant impacts. In my field, I’d expand the scope of this article to building cross functional trust between executives and their leaders, to trust each others instincts. “In the face of information overload, mounting risks and uncertainty, and intense pressures to make the right decisions, there is often debilitating evidence that delays our decision making. We put the choice off, rather than deciding. Trusting your gut allows leaders the freedom to move forward.”

Where do #CIOs and #CFOs come in when it comes to RevOps? In an era of rapid #AI innovation, navigating the line between tech and business is crucial. As said by Mitch Edwards, principal at the Alexander Group, "...each company’s revenue operations are different and CIOs should understand their companies’ business needs as well as the AI itself." The gist? Don't get ahead of yourself. Start with the problem you're trying to solve, not the tech. And perhaps most importantly, make sure there's true alignment and partnership across the client, technology, and finance functions of the business. #RevOps #Innovation #BusinessGrowth

As Seattle transitions into its rainy season, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with friends at Microsoft, and presented at the Women of Teams Leadership Series, a session featuring the Gottman Institute. Thank you to our wonderful partner Milena Paumen for inviting me and my colleague Mike Novasio! Our discussion focused on the power of the renowned Gottman Method in fostering healthier personal and professional relationships. From improving communication, and building trust, to conflict resolution, the Gottman method offers essential tools for meaningful connections. One particular insight that resonated with the group: 90% of decisions made are emotions based. Understanding and addressing emotions is crucial for both personal and workplace success. High-trust organizations, for example, experience remarkable benefits: • 106% more energy at work • 76% greater job engagement • 50% higher productivity We’ve partnered with Microsoft Employee Wellness and Benefits for 18 years, with Gottman products to enhance employees' holistic well-being, which a valuable step towards fostering a culture of trust and empathy. If your organization is interested in exploring how the Gottman Institute can support your team's well-being and relationship health, feel free to reach out to me. Let’s build healthier connections together!
