There are two important facts that leaders need to come to grips with:

• their decisions don’t necessarily lead to action
• willpower alone doesn’t take people very far when they try to work together

In fact, executive instructions on their own only get people onto the starting blocks when it comes to building products and services, shaping ways of working and enabling collaboration.

Put a group of new people together, and they’re likely to struggle to:

• agree on a common goal
• plan the roadmap for how to get there
• keep a scoreboard of how they’re performing

The key to solving this problem lies in understanding whether the business is plagued more by complexity or by prohibitive processes.

The answer to business complexity is good processes, while the answer to unhealthy or overly burdensome processes is innovation.

The key to both process and innovation lies in the word cadence — a predictable, repeatable rhythm of working that keeps teams focused on their goals and aware of their progress on the journey towards achieving them. Helping companies establish cadence — to embed good processes or stimulate innovation — is the sweet spot in which Th1nk operates.
