Hi lads,
This week for me has been all about moving people and synchronising thoughts and behaviour in order to reach a beneficial outcome. As much as I have been talking with each and every one of you, I also spent a significant amount of time talking to all the Nova team members. Weirdly enough I just realised that both of these inherently different conversations had exactly the same purpose: Extracting insights.
I was mildly afraid that the Nova team would be too resisting and cross with respect to our strategic intents for Nova Global and thus decided to open up to a dialogue that would force them to think a bit more about the scaleability of Nova and their position in this world. The reason I wished to do so was to enable them to commit to a fair discussion after our meeting. Meaning enable them to have an open dialogue that doesn't cause too much friction between our opinions and theirs and that makes them feel that we are in a way much more levelled (on equal grounds) as to what is going on. This so that every minute we had their collective intelligence could be mined for purposeful insights.
On the other hand, I have been talking to each and every one of you to put your most valuable insights - in whichever format - in our working paper. (Please do not forget to do so!). I feel that it is the key to harvesting whatever our collective intelligence has brought up, both on the table and outside of the table. In doing this harvesting I feel that there is a need to translate your personal notes into something much more universal, a format that anyone and everyone could immediately understand. I think that the balance between the personal way of putting things down and breaking it down into hyper-digestible material should illuminate the utility of our working paper.
I look forward to reading your insights
Best,
Stefan
