Ever wondered how an anchor can sail a ship? It's about conquering the anchoring bias in tech decision-making. 1. **Setting Sail**: A firm, tied to its legacy systems, stood at the innovation and tradition crossroad. The voyage ahead, daunting. 2. **The Anchor's Grip**: Anchoring bias had them tethered. The old system was an anchor, keeping them from the unknown territory of modern technology. 3. **The Wind of Enlightenment**: A wave of fresh insights challenged the status quo. The crew discovered the anchor's weight wasn't in the system, but the resistance to change. 4. **Steering Amid the Storm**: They hoisted the anchor and faced change. It was challenging, with doubt and skepticism brewing. But determination prevailed. 5. **Unveiling New Vistas**: What met them surpassed expectations. Efficiency elevated, productivity spiked, innovation became the default. The once stagnating anchor was now their symbol of growth. What's your anchor? Is it safeguarding you or restraining you? Let's explore the seas of unanchored potential. Share your experience of defeating your anchoring bias. Let's sail together.

Are We Falling into the Trap of Cargo Cult Thinking? Ever heard of the cargo cults from Melanesia? These were communities that, during the colonial era, observed the rituals performed by military personnel stationed on their islands—started building runways, setting up control towers, and signalling to the skies. Believing these actions would summon ships and planes filled with precious goods, they started mimicking these activities themselves, convinced they could recreate the magic formula to bring in the 'cargo.' But here's the kicker: this isn’t just a problematic chapter from history. "Cargo cult thinking" has crept into the way we work, creative brainstorms and strategy sessions. It happens when we latch onto strategies or practices that worked in the past, expecting the same results, without truly understanding the 'why' behind them. We see something that succeeded once, and we replicate it to the letter, convinced it will work again. But we often miss the crucial elements—the context, the deeper drivers, the subtle nuances that made it effective in the first place. Why does this happen? It’s human nature to look for a proven formula, a shortcut to success. We want to feel secure, to believe there’s a reliable path to achieving our goals. But in clinging to these rituals, we risk stagnation. We build runways and expect planes to land without realising the skies have changed. So, what can we do? We can start by questioning the status quo. By being brave enough to ask why something works—not just once, but in every unique situation. By embracing the uncertainty that comes with change and being open to experimentation and adaptation. It's not about discarding what worked before but understanding that yesterday's solutions may not fit today's challenges. Let’s commit to digging deeper, understanding the real ‘why’ behind our actions, and daring to innovate, not just imitate. After all, in a world that’s constantly evolving, blindly following old methods may leave us waiting on the tarmac for cargo that never arrives.

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.” - Michael Altshuler In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel like time slips through our fingers. Days turn into weeks, and before we know it, months have passed. But here's the empowering part: we have control over how we navigate our time. Being the pilot means making conscious decisions about where we invest our energy and focus. It's about setting priorities, defining our goals, and steering our course with intention. Remember, every moment is an opportunity to chart a new path, to pivot, and to take actions that align with our values and aspirations. ✈️

We shouldn't glorify working without purpose. Let's glorify: Clear mission, Vision-driven work, Impactful goals, Alignment with core values, Long-term strategy.
