Strategy as Tires: Well, I learned some new math, so into the mix, it goes. .
20:03 . . .
Strategy as Tires: We will be staffing a third lane for our bowling alley. That will be a focus during the holiday shutdown this year. .
20:05 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: We have this holiday shutdown routine down. The pandemic will change things, but we have these pandemic impacts down. What new challenge can we address during this year’s holiday shutdown?
Strategy as Tires: It’s that time of year again, but with the pandemic shutdown, it is harder to get enthusiastic about the impending holiday shutdown. But, yes, we will still shut down for the holiday period. .
23:44 . .
Strategy as Tires: Thanks to all of you for getting the work done under trying circumstances. .
23:46 . .
Strategy as Tires: Yes, we still have to get ready for next year. .
23:48
. .
Strategy as Tires: Have you updated your work and life plans. Yes, you have to do it for the coming year. It has to be done before the holiday shutdown begins.
Strategy as Tires: Do we make this decision once, or more often? How often in the case of those made more often? Every decade? Every two years? Every year? Every month?Every week? Every day? Every shift? Every hour? Constantly? .
11:39 . .
Strategy as Tires: As the decision calendared or event-driven? .
11:42 . . .
Strategy as Tires: Is the decision independent? Dependent? Does the decision feed downstream dependencies? .
11:45 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: What is the time orientation of the decision? Are you reacting? Are you trying to get ahead of your predictions of near term needs? Or are you being proactive in regards to future needs? .
11:51 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: OODA loops are strategic. You have to be trained to observe. You have to be trained to orient. You have to be trained to decide. And, you have to be trained to act. There is nothing tactical about any of that.
Strategy as Tires: When you averaged your customer and prospect populations, we told you not to do that. So you traded off those populations. For what population do you intend to code? .
12:25 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: You seek to serve easy? Is that what your population wants? Yes, that is the theory, but we don’t go there. The population your company serves is quite a ways from easy. Are you requesting a transfer?

Strategy as Tires: So did you find all the lines parallel to the line for your feature? Your competitors are not parallel? Their factors, their correlations, their tails don’t match yours? So competition is no excuse? .
12:42 .
Strategy as Tires: So you called the excuse line. They had no excuses?
Strategy as Tires: Are you interpreting that as to apply to a local or distributed perspective? .
4:33 . .
Strategy as Tires: Are you using implicit or explicit language? .
4:35 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: If they cannot make the meaning explicit, they insist that you can go with meaninglessness. AI tried to be humanly smart, but of late has given up on both humanly and smart. .
4:37 .
Strategy as Tires: So we are post-meta? .
4:38 . . .
Strategy as Tires: I saw another discussion of chasm today. Given that almost all innovation is continuous these days, there are no chasms. .
4:43 . . .
Strategy as Tires: The B2C early adopter was sold that innovation via content channels, rather than personal relationships. .
4:45 . . . . . .
Strategy as Tires: When you read the first edition of a consultant’s book, realize that the second edition will alter the content. The writer has more experience with the concept when they write the second edition. Or, the world changed out from under the first edition. .
4:46 . .
Strategy as Tires: It would be great if the second edition printed the things that changed in a different typeface.
Strategy as Tires: I hear that you’ve been talking about work outside of work. Stop it. .
7:00 . .
Strategy as Tires: Secrets? If it is in code that you can install on your own machine, it is not secret. .
7:01 .
Strategy as Tires: This week we are closed. Enjoy. .
7:03 . . . .
Strategy as Tires: Yes, that means don’t log on, don’t call, and don’t text. Nobody will be calling you this week. If you are in dire need, call us. Those particular numbers are always answered. .
7:05 .
Strategy as Tires: Some things cannot be bought. .
7:06 .
Strategy as Tires: Between the bookends life happens. .
7:07 . . . . .
Strategy as Tires: We birth categories. They grow up and go on without us. They birth stories. Those stories go on without us as well. Some of them go places we never went. Some of them go places we would never go. .
7:09 . .
Strategy as Tires: Back to the math. Yes, math is born and goes on without us. We tend to catch up 100 years later.
