What initiatives are driving Harmony’s success that we should double down on? What is hurting us that we must reverse their directions? Below are our proposals and convictions at 2022Q2 Team Offsite (5/10 Mon - 5/13 Thur).
For “1x YES” initiatives, bring metrics to show their consistent and sustainable growths. For “2x YES”, user demands and utilities are reinforcing each other at compounding rates – time is now to allocate twice as many resources for and to prioritize them over any other plans.
For “10x YES”, the market-product-team fit is perfect along with our mission: the market is expanding exponentially every month beyond anyone’s expectations, our product is magical and delightful, and this team is the clear leader against all competitions and peers. Let’s go all-in and celebrate the wins!
Or, hold your strongest conviction with a contrarian view: despite how early in the market, how minimal is our prototype, and how lacking is your expertise – you are betting your career on an initiative against the trend and everyone.
Articulate your best arguments in a paragraph of exactly 3 sentences (with a link to a 1-pager execution plan) below. Seek for someone to take the contrarian view and write out the counter-arguments together. Each will present and answer questions in 10-min sessions before the 20 core teammates and fellows.
Each proposal must have a 1-line summary of a 6-week execution plan for its first stage: budget, lead person, numbers of engineers or business persons, impact metrics. To proceed for execution, 3 strong yes are required as approvals for 1x initiatives, 6 for 2x, and 10 for 10x. For example, “6-week for 1X: $250k, Giv, 1 eng + 1 biz, 3 game partners committed for 100k users; Approved by Peter, Leo, Jack”.
Every attendee must write at least one full argument by 5/3 Tue; vote with your emoji for topics to be prioritized at offsite. The deadline for all writing and voting is 5/6 Fri, leaving time for everyone to read before the offsite.
