We get an overview of our 100-day accelerator and jumpstart our journey with the iconic DAYONE format inspired by Amazon's "It's always Day 1" practice that has helped build the startup into a trillion-dollar company. What lessons, and more importantly, what specific behaviors and practices can we adopt, for our ourselves and our teams? And how will the 100-Day Accelerator put us on that road? We'll answer these and more on DAYONE.

Estimated time spent out of 100 Days: 3 hours

We use the Sandbox App to find hi-impact ideas and opportunities to launch that would radically improve our work outcomes and impact. The Sandbox App guides us step-by-step how to use practices like customer-centricity, empathy and human-centered design thinking in order to find the most rewarding opportunities - right here where we work, in whatever role or function we have.

Estimated time spent out of 100 Days: 1-2 days

Whenever we need help and support, we have Monday to Friday 90-minute Zoom gatherings where we will learn from mentors, peers and co-participants about live business cases they're working on and how they're resolving various areas where they're stuck (which is likely where we will also get stuck).

We get on the Launchpad App to start a project that will take us through the first 5 of 12 Hurdles as we launch a hi-impact solution (product, service, biz model, system, process, workflow, campaign, etc.) in 100 days or less. We focus on launching solutions for challenges and opportunities that impact our day-to-day work, especially those with the greatest impact on customer experience.

Estimated time spent out of 100 Days: 2-3 days if we're working on a simple launch; 10-15 days for more complex innovations

We're back on the Launchpad App to conquer Hurdles 6-10 of 12, collectively known as our Zone of Solutions. Hurdle 6 starts us off on a vision story of our customer's user journey - i.e., how, why, when, where, with who the ideal customer would use our solution? Hurdle 7 challenges us to translate our customer vision story into a solution architecture that integrates product, customer, business, revenue and cost modeling. Hurdles 8-10 focus us on scaling down the solution architecture into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Build that fulfills our threshold Objectives & Key Results (OKRs).

Agile problem-solving is a ready-fire-aim discipline - so contrary to our deep-seated habit of ready-aim-fire perfectionism and paralysis, the enemy of peak performance and innovation in a VUCA world. In the weeks ahead, our Launchpad Hurdles 11-12 will help us practice, practice, practice. We will form new habits around agile ready-fire-aim, with repeating sprint cycles that address the same questions; each time with a new answer, new learnings applied faster; each sprint getting us closer to launch.

OKR-aligned target win/s for this cycle? Key iterations delivered in this cycle? Key gains vs key drains in this cycle? Key learnings/insights in this cycle? OKR-aligned target win/s for next cycle? Key iterations for next cycle? How can we go faster?

Estimated time spent out of 100 Days: 8-12 days if you're working on a simple launch; 6-10 weeks for more complex innovations.

The App guides us to regular performance reviews of the Superpower-6 critical competencies for peak performance in the VUCA world. This is a self-administered exercise we can do daily, weekly or as often as we like. This is how peak performers get it done - by reflecting and journaling (taking notes!) on how we are progressing on the 6 key superpowers, how specifically we practiced them (e,g., each week), where we got it right, where we didn’t do so well, where we need to improve.

Estimated time spent out of 100 Days: 12-15 hours spread over 12-15 days

Data & algorithms drive smart recommendations about people we should meet from our community who can contribute to or accelerate our success.

Constantly re-aligns our deeply personal sense of joy, meaning and purpose with the shared mission of our company and team - and especially the roles and projects we're working on. GPS (Genius, Purpose, Service) is a personal navigation system to help us find passion, commitment, resilience and grit in whatever we do.

3x daily practices in centered breathing and mindfulness to help us keep our calm and manage stress, anxiety and overall mental health.
