Episode B6.008 Agile Project Management - Part 5 Launch & Generalization

RESULTS RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week. We have a few announcements to make about growth of the IBGR Network. 

First, we are doubling the number of new and returning visitors to the site. July was twice June’s numbers and we beat July’s numbers over the weekend.

Second, with the addition of Gambia on Sunday, IBGR is now heard by entrepreneurs in 100 countries. That is 51% of all the countries on the planet. 

Third, we have declared war on Covid19. That is not on the disease itself, just a worse variant of the flu. Our declaration is aimed at those politicians and bureaucrats that are making arbitrary, non-science based decisions on economic activity. People with no skin in the game, collecting checks from our taxes are deciding which business lives or dies. If you do your own research, a stark reality will become apparent - what is happening in your country is not based on science - it is based on power and control.

Check these articles out as reference points:

• Lockdown Restrictions Are A Test To See How Much Tyranny Americans Will Accept
• THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID19 - DON'T LET THE BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS GIVE YOU A LINE OF BULL.

Put all of this together and we are your advocates against the forces of statism and command economies. We understand entrepreneurs are a different breed that don’t live by the leave of others - why? Because everyone at and associated with the station are entrepreneurs. We are building a network of ideas, insights, and tools that will help you navigate the pandemic and beyond.

Show Objectives - The Why
​This is all about crafting the message. Given the success you had in getting to Stage VI, you will receive the benefit of the doubt making change easier. In their mind you are on top of what it takes to grow the company and this will work like everything else to date.

However don't let this make you lazy, you still have to sell the change so don't assume anything. Sell this like the crowd is hostile and you will be successful. Once it starts and the employees are involved, the enthusiasm will become contagious.

Key Issues - Owner/Manager Perspective:

1. Announce the Burning Platform,
2. Clear vision for process and results,
3. Announce the guiding and core teams,
4. Layout the project plan,
5. Long term impact on the business

What You Need to Know - The What

• ​EPISODE E6.007 PREPARING THE COMPANY FOR CHANGE

What You Need to Do​​ - The How
Craft a message why the company's past success means the need to rethink the business.

1. "We did a great job proving the business idea and the results speak for itself."
2. "This next challenge is different - we have to discover the next move rather than just execute."
3. "We have adopted the principles of Agile and using this approach to build the future in small sprints."
4. "This next evolution is not a mere doubling our revenue or profit, our next move will grow the company exponentially and make us the dominant player in our market"
5. "I am going to be actively involved in this evolution and so will you. I will be a member of a Guiding Team that will provide the group guidance and remove obstacles"
6. "Each of you can expect to be part of the evolution as well by being asked to join a Core team - the group that will actually do the research, provide recommendations, and implement the future."
7. "We will take the next quarter, the next 3 months and break the evolution into 3 Phases - Discovery in month 1, Build in month 2, and Implementation in month 3"
8. "We expect that every change from the evolution will be fully operational by month 4 and in 6 months we will expand our offer into new markets bringing in new customers."
