How can you effectively manage innovation and strategy in a competitive landscape?
3 first principles my teams live by to balance innovation and execution: 1. Think big, start small. We think ambitiously, but we know that innovative solutions do not have to be large and complex on the day they are born. Remember Gall’s law: All complex systems that work evolved from simpler systems that worked. 2. Be stubborn on the vision and flexible on the details. We don’t paint ourselves into a corner as we execute. We preserve optionality, experimenting with the details until we get it right. 3. Balance versioning with visioning. Versioning uses incremental product improvements that add up over time to improve user experience. Visioning, in contrast, addresses more open-ended questions and emphasizes longer-term thinking.

How can you effectively manage innovation and strategy in a competitive landscape?
The paradox of choice paralyzes many leaders: When you have to choose between everything, you may struggle to do anything. To cut through the noise when aligning strategy with vision and goals, it's important to take multiple factors into account -- especially when talking about a product roadmap or a list of initiatives. Disciplined product leaders use a methodology like RICE or WSJF to organize their thoughts, rate ideas on their business and customer value, and temper their ratings based on confidence and effort.

How can you effectively manage innovation and strategy in a competitive landscape?
The best way to foster a culture of innovation is to show your team how to test product and business ideas like a scientist. 1. Identify a problem 2. Develop a hypothesis for how that problem can be solved 3. Test the hypothesis by implementing a solution 4. Decide what to do next -- iterate on your solution if there was an improvement but more can be done, leave it as-is if you achieved your goal, or cut bait if it moved the needle in the wrong direction.
