"Sometimes you must adapt the tools to your own context/environment - Don't be afraid of doing that, the team can benefit from that change"

🌟 A product manager shares his experience implementing my Opportunity-Solution Tree (OST) with a non-product team at a bank. Here's what you'll learn:

- Customer-focused problem statements

🔑 Key steps in the process:

A hilarious aspect of corporate life is the performative excitement that you’re supposed to show in every group interaction and it is hilarious because everyone knows it’s fake but everyone still plays along, plus some even get upset if you don’t deliver a compelling performance.

Worthy Read: Entropy: The Hidden Force That Complicates Life by Shane Parrish

"Disorder is not a mistake; it is the default. Order is always artificial and temporary." 🌀

Want to understand why everything seems to get more complicated over time? This article explains entropy - nature's tax on order - and how it affects our daily lives, businesses, and relationships.

Key takeaways:
🏠 Your house getting messy isn't a failure - it's physics. Maintaining order always requires energy
🔄 Everything naturally moves from order to disorder unless we actively prevent it
⚡ Successful businesses and relationships require constant energy to combat entropy
🎯 Focus takes effort because entropy naturally expands our commitments

💡 Understanding two types of stability:
- Passive stability (like a well-designed ship)
- Active stability (like a fighter jet that needs constant adjustment)
