JC's Newsletter - Pragmatism in delivery
Dear friends,Every week, I’m sharing an essay that relates to what we are building and learning at Alan. Those essays are fed by the article I’m lucky enough to read and capitalise on. I’m going to try to be provocative in those essays to trigger a discussion with the community. Please answer, comment, and ping me! If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share it on social networks! Pragmatism in deliveryToday, I want to talk about the importance of being pragmatic. At Alan, we love to think deeply about topics, find excellent solutions, and create perfect models. Sometimes, we could take a step back and be, as in our leadership principles, street smart. That means finding solutions that work for our members, for our customers, for us, and that save time and speed things up. Some examples I found interesting are as follows, and here's how we can think about them.
Of course, we don’t want this to be interpreted as “we don’t aim for quality” or we push for imperfection. It means how to achieve the best overall result, pragmatically to deliver incredible quality to our members & customers (focusing on the outcome for them/us) Some good articles I have read this weekBuilding companies & culture👉 Committing to your Craft (Farnam Street)
