The Strategic Rebellion is about becoming radically strategic from above and below. The first is the perspective of a busy CEO who once said to me: "Something comes up and I need to understand what's going on. What I get is either a 20-minute song and dance; or someone who sees this as an opportunity to turn "their" problem, into "my" problem."The second is that of the manager or director who wants to be strategic and get the decisions they need but is stuck in a working world of ill-focus indecision around them.The conclusion is being strategic. And being strategic is simply making smart decisions aimed at producing a better outcome. It is radical in its simplicity and can be led from anywhere in the organization. This approach is what drives:THE 2-MINUTE REVOLUTION forces participants to think through and deliver brief, focused, strategic reports to busy executives. The briefer articulates concisely what he or she needs from the encounter and helps the boss understand what they need. In 2-minutes you get what you need to know, presented strategically, and asked directly. REBELLIOUS PRESENTATIONS start with the plea to go analogue – close your computer and think through a few key factors. Think long and hard about your audience. Next, make absolutely sure you are effectively articulating your "Ask". Only then, do we even consider slides - as few as possible - and guided by the most effective data visualization. RADICAL RE-WRITES follow the same principles: audience-focused, deliberate and thoughtful, and short and simple. You must cast aside old habits, new fads, and language that gets in the way. You must be direct, keep your language simple and active, and clearly express what you need. STORMING YOUR MEETINGS is radical. The strategic fix is to involve everyone: Ask "are you willing to put in 10 minutes before the meeting so we can slash the time we meet by half?" A 90-minute meeting in 45 minutes? The answer is always YES!
