That's it exactly!

And then we iterate on the first 3 to improve/refine the perception where needed.

Narrative is an excellent tool to do that with.

BUT! This is my mind map, and it's meant solely to be a tool for creating better discussions. YMMV, and I'd love to see your iteration of it.

Getting over a cold and fuzzy-headed today, so apologies for any confusion. Completely agree with you and @dhanendran.co.uk - Perception is very much something that can be changed.

But the first 3 Ps are the way that we act, Perception is how it is received.

I like where you're going with this - but it's different on purpose.

The first 3 are things that I have at least some control of. Perception is how that's experienced - the result of HOW we do the first 3.

In the canvas, Perception is on the bottom on purpose - it's the foundation for everything.

When coaching, I mentally classify what people are talking about into issues that revolve around 4 Ps:
🎯 Priorities
🤼 People
⚙️ Processes
👀 & Perception

How and when to sunset features - Roni Ben Aharon (CPO, Craft.io, Booking.com, Wix) Sunsetting features is rarely a celebrated milestone in product, but it’s often one of the most critical. In this episode, Roni Ben Aharon CPO and CTO of Craft.io, joins Lily and Randy to share how hi...

Sunsetting features is crucial for creating space for more impactful product work and involves removing underused features that introduce hidden costs, complicating onboarding, UX, and development cycles.

A problem that crops up time & again: how to make impact when there's no strategy in place? Or when an ambition has been mistaken for an actual strategy?

I'm giving a talk on the subject soon - but I'd love to hear from you.

Please share your experience (outofowls.com/strategy-talk)

Interface for a chat app that includes this conversation: Why do you think that? x Well, I had a terrible vision. x Someone here, and by God's will, I know. We're that sort too, when duty calls we go. In these grave times frivolity's been banned. Fashion is unwomaned and unmanned. We have equal rights in death, disease, distress. And in hunger, filth and human sexlessness. x Definitely true. X Yea... A weak man has doubts before a decision; a strong man has them afterwards. 7:38 PM To be sure, the dog is loyal. But why, on that account, should we take him as an example? He is loyal to man, not to other dogs. x And democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave. x Why do you think that?

I quite like Beeper (aggregator of messaging from various apps, but strangely not yet Bluesky...), but the image on the page for their Beta desktop build is just WEIRD.
