Corporate Pep Talk

357B9AC6-B311-4610-B6CC-9A56F1778FE0All right, team. It’s time to get down to business. In full transparency, we are at a critical juncture and we need to do some big-time brainstorming and outside-the-box thinking. It’s time to take things to the next level and begin solutioning. We need to closely examine our corporate values and core competencies.

To that end, we are going to empower each of you to get out of your swim lanes, ladies and gentlemen. This is the only way we’re going to be able to move the needle.

We must get buy-in from all you that you will give 110 percent toward achieving our critical goals. We need to be out there on the bleeding edge, opening up our kimonos, and using our best practices to ideate scalable solutions.

Yes, our very survival in this dog-eat-dog ecosystem requires us to get all of our ducks in a row. We need to drill down and reach out in order to achieve the greatest leverage possible. It’s time for a real paradigm shift. We have to be data-driven because this is where the rubber hits the road. The net net is that we need to come up with the next big thing.

So you need to wrap your heads around coming up with our next-gen product offerings. I need each of you to step up to the plate, to be proactive, and to come up with some strong, customer-focused ideas that we can allow to incubate.

I want you to blue sky this without trying to boil the ocean. Remember, at the end of the day, it’s all about synergy.


Written for today’s one-word prompt, “incubate.”

    There is no crying in baseball and no one should be crying over spilt milk either. All good things will come to those who wait, but you must be the best that you can be and never say die.

    We actually DID play office bingo in one job … but the bosses played too. Everytime someone hit a buzzword, someone yelled BINGO! it was FUN.
