Ever tried baking a cake with scattered recipe pieces? It's like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces! In the world of business, fragmented processes are just like those scattered recipe pieces. Each department or team follows its own set of rules and tools, leading to chaos and confusion. Imagine one team using eggs while another insists on milk! This lack of cohesion not only slows things down but also leads to inefficiencies and errors. Just like a cake recipe needs to be unified for a delicious outcome, businesses need to unify their processes for success. Let's bring all those scattered pieces together and create a recipe for success! #BusinessProcesses #Efficiency #Unity #Success #CloudEQ

After two decades in industry, I’ve found the secret sauce and it’s as simple as Alfredo pasta. Last night my son was craving pasta for dinner and despite all of the reasons why mom couldn’t deliver, he was successful in achieving the goal. Long story short, here are the four steps that he took: 1) Knowing mom had just cooked the night before, he used data to plead his case. “𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯.” 2) He anticipated how he could optimize the opportunity. “𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘻𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘵𝘰𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯.” 3) Through experience, he’s realized that if mom comes home and “settles in” then the probability of cooking dinner is low. “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘶𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.” 4) He also knows, cooking the sauce takes time but he sits patiently at the table anticipating dinner’s arrival. “𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘺, 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢”. So what did he teach us? 1 — Obsess over data and find root causes 2 — Group common themes of opportunity 3 — Focus more on execution than strategy 4 — Keep the faith and stay the course No matter if it’s the dinner table or in your career, these are 4 enablers for leading to success. Obviously, you need empowered, well trained teammates whom you build trust and invest in, and if you add these 4 steps to your recipe, then I can guarantee you will be rewarded just as he was. Bon Appétit! Sorry no actual picture … the pasta was gone before I knew it 🙃

It's become clear to me that a mediocre company with lower quality of service and product will outperform an objectively better company that isn't using predictive market intelligence. AND it won't even be close. It's not always the best product or service that wins. It's about knowing your market better than anyone else. Predictive market intelligence isn't just a nice-to-have advantage. It's key to survival. Companies that harness this power are positioned to completely reshape their markets, leaving those without data-driven insights struggling to grasp market share. Imagine two pizza places on the same street: Pizza Place A: Theirs is objectively better. Top-notch ingredients, chef-designed recipes, rave reviews. But they rely on traditional marketing and gut instincts to find customers. Pizza Place B: Their pizza is passable. Nothing amazing, but it gets the job done. However, they use predictive market intelligence. They know when people are craving pizza, what toppings are trending, and even which neighborhoods are filled with pizza lovers. The Outcome: Pizza Place B thrives! Their targeted ads hit at the perfect time. They offer the deals people want, and their delivery zones are optimized for maximum reach. Meanwhile, Pizza Place A wonders why they're not seeing the customers they deserve. In an increasingly data-driven world, even the "best" companies can find themselves outmatched by competitors armed with superior market knowledge. Predictive market intelligence isn't just about growth – it's about protecting your market share and the ability to thrive in rapidly shifting landscapes. #marketintelligence #businessgrowth #datadrivenstrategy #customerexperience Dylan Payne Phillip Suna Anna Oakes

Fajitas are dope. They are always a head turner at a restaurant given that familiar sizzle and smell as they whisk by diners creating instant "eaters remorse" for the people that were on the fence about fajitas but chose otherwise. However, sometimes the actual steak is overcooked, fatty, poorly seasoned or just plain terrible. The meal is ruined, leaving the fajita patron wishing they had a burger and wings instead. That's how retail consulting/brand repping is. There are a lot of players in the game, many who stand behind their "sizzle" but not many who can deliver the "steak". When choosing a partner to rep your brand, ask probing questions on how to improve profitability, inventory reliability, increase distribution, and sound P&L management. Sizzle will show you their canned dashboards and tell you they played golf once with the buyer, steak will show you exact strategy to drive results for the business.

🍗 I drove about an hour round trip last night for chicken fingers! The boys - and kinda me too TBH - are obsessed with Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and it does not DoorDash to our address. To me, even more impressive than the crispy, juicy tenders and crinkle fries, is the business lesson. Raising Cane’s success story centers on its focus on doing one thing exceptionally well: chicken fingers. Founded in 1996 by Todd Graves in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the fast-food chain rejected the typical industry approach of offering diverse menu items. Instead, it stuck to a simple menu of chicken fingers, fries, coleslaw, and Texas toast. The thing you immediately notice when walking into a Canes is the people - you are greeted with a huge smile, “First time at Canes? How can we help?” The lines move fast and every employee is energized and engaged - there to make your experience a great one. A manager sounded more like a D1 coach last night. Honestly, it is delightful. This simplicity, along with a strong commitment to customer service, has paid off. Raising Cane’s now has over 500 locations across the U.S. and Canada. The company remains true to its original vision, focusing on quality and customer experience rather than expanding its menu. What can we learn? 🍗 Ruthless Focus: Be the best at one thing and prioritize excellence in that thing. Anything that isn’t building the best chicken finger - or blockchain intelligence tool 😉- is a distraction. 🍗 Team and Culture are everything! Providing a delightful customer experience means you want to go back. You feel like you are part of something. Anybody else love Canes? How about that sauce?

Perhaps not as controversial as pineapple on a pizza, but we think people and pizza have a lot in common. First impressions are often different to the real deal and, of course, how people behave. And this can be daunting and overwhelming when forming or managing a new team, or working to deliver a project or change program. Good news...we love people as much as pizza and have a bunch of receipes and ingredients to help you tackle it one mouthful and slice at a time. Probably with a bit of extra cheese too!
