I love this time of year; not just the onset of Autumn, and for San Francisco that means a lifting of the Summer fog and sunny days, but also the start of Strategic Planning season for the following year.
Every year it’s great to take stock of where we are at; to hold conversations with stakeholders as varied as development leads, product managers, sales managers, customers, prospects, support; and then to make decisions ranging from minor tweaks of products, marketing and sales approach to major overhauls of strategy.
We are in an interesting time, no doubt about it, and that’s why this year, more than any other year, I am even more excited for this season. We are brainstorming some ideas, from the mundane to the bonkers, but everything’s on the table, people are pushing the envelope, we’re listening to each other, and that bodes well for the year to come.
