🧳 Context, Not Control¶

Our mantra: Give people context, not commands. Trust them to find the best path forward.

🎯 The Three Pillars¶

When building our Management Model, we focused on three core truths:

1. 💡 Innovation Drives Value¶

In a product-led business, innovation is everything. We made it our top priority.

2. ❌ Micro-Management Doesn't Work¶

It stifles creativity and slows teams down. We needed a better approach.

3. 🎯 Vision Must Cascade¶

The company's vision and strategy should be reflected across the entire organization to align everyone's goals.

🔄 From Command & Control to Context¶

We ditched the old command-and-control playbook. Instead, we embrace Context, Not Control.

What this means: - Give people the freedom to manage their own tasks - Trust them to find the best way to support business goals - Provide insight and understanding so they can make sound decisions

🛠️ How It Works¶

Instead of controlling people, we set clear context:

✅ Strategy → Where we're going
✅ Objectives → What we need to achieve
✅ Assumptions → What we believe to be true
✅ Metrics → How we measure success

When people understand the context, they can make better decisions. This leads to high performance.

🌱 Why This Matters¶

Context, Not Control:

• 🧒 Attracts ethical people who thrive in trust-based environments
• 💡 Enables creativity by removing micromanagement barriers
• 🚀 Drives innovation when people have the freedom to experiment

But here's the catch: To innovate, people need to know what we're trying to achieve. That's why understanding our Mission & Vision is critical.

❓ The Question¶

How do we manage projects without micro-managing teams while keeping innovation front and center?

The answer: A Strategic Management model.
