There are 7 major challenges facing scale-up CEOs as we head into 2025. 1. Balancing profit and growth responsibly and nailing the “growth at the right cost” formula 2. Integrating AI effectively into your product, into your GTM motion, and into your operating cadence to drive growth and efficiency 3. Understanding new pricing models that balance subscriptions and usage in a way that feels logical and intuitive to your customer 4.

Knowing the developing M&A market and understanding the enterprise value of your business from actual investors 6. Incorporating a customer-centric methodology like the bowtie to improve retention and enable long term growth 7.

It is no small feat to be a #marketdisruptor - on any level. At this time, no matter the market or industry you’re evaluating, there are most likely already strong #incumbents with incredible products/services/teams at play. The competitive landscape in business can be VERY intimidating, so how does an #entrant break into and disrupt it? There are things to consider such as product innovation, technology advancements, quality standards, finding a niche, psychology (including EQ = emotional intelligence), operations/scaling, collaboration, underserved markets, client pain points, trial + error and LOTS of calculated #RISK. Sharing the panel stage with disruptors who operate at a caliber challenging the status quo was an experience I will NEVER forget. We all brought varied backgrounds and insights at levels which I couldn’t believe I was so fortunate to share in the discussion! We all encourage you to have the courage to be a disruptor! 💥 Cyrille Q. 💥 Andrei Naeymi-Rad 💥 Dr. Chad Beauchamp PT, DPT, SCS, TPI, CSCS 💥 Ammar Dayani 💥 Prof. Dr. Robert Schiestl

🎭 On 11/11/2024, I stepped onto my first keynote stage at #IO2024 in Lincoln, Nebraska to share a deeply personal story about WorkCrafting and reimagining the future of work. From building fires in my backyard to building new models of consulting with Rita McGrath at Valize, this journey has been equal parts terrifying and exhilarating – exactly as it should be when you're forking towards firsts! The talk, "Subject to Change: An Augmented Innovator's Journey to (Re)Discover Rita McGrath," traced my path from that surreal November day in 2023 when I left BCG through a year of radical experimentation that led to joining forces with one of the world's top strategy thinkers to reinvent management consulting: https://lnkd.in/ed3h3GYC But here's the meta moment that makes me smile: Just one year ago, I was writing in my journal about feeling "determined and more convinced than ever that the best is yet to come." Now I'm living proof that when you expand your fluke surface area and embrace the Zeno mindset, remarkable possibilities emerge. None of this would be possible without some extraordinary humans: 🙏 Brian Ardinger - Thank you for taking a chance on a first-time keynote speaker and giving me the opportunity to share our story with the incredible IO community 💫 🔮Kes Sampanthar ✨ - My best friend and partner-in-possibility, who couldn't join me on stage because he was busy DOING THE WORK with clients (which is exactly as it should be). You've taught me more about thinking, learning, and growing than anyone else in my life. From nerd jams to LinkedIn Lives to building the future of consulting, there's no one I'd rather fork the future of work with! 🚀 Noah Frank & Daniel Wolfson - For jumping on this crazy ride and helping turn our experiments into reality. The bus wouldn't be nearly as fun without you both 🚍 ✨ Rita McGrath - For your partnership, mentorship, friendship, and invitation to help reinvent management consulting. Your frameworks have shaped how we think about strategic inflection points, and now we get to put them into practice together! And this is just the beginning... As we head into 2025, we're accelerating our experiments in augmented strategy, building new models for navigating uncertainty, and creating tools to help others craft their own future of work. The traditional pyramid is flipping, knowledge is being commoditized, and we're entering what Kes calls the Age of Wisdom. Want to join us on this journey? Follow along as we document everything we're learning about Augmented Intelligence and WorkCrafting, share our experiments in public, and build the future of consulting in real-time. To quote one of my journal entries from this wild year: "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I know for damn sure it won't be boring!" #WorkCrafting #FutureOfWork #Innovation #Strategy #Leadership #ConsultingReimagined #FirstKeynote #EmbraceTheUnknown
