They have a different set of questions that they ask (more on that later), but they take the perspective of how the OSS/BSS will add value to their business unit and sponsors. They understand that these people have a different set of objectives and challenges. The tripods understand that they need to put themselves in the shoes of the business unit and/or project sponsors. And that’s where the higher frames of reference come in. They know that the OSS/BSS is just the means to an end. These are the people that see the technical and see the detail, but also understand the business imperative. They’re what I refer to as Valuable Tripods.
The questions asked here relate to solve the fundamental and often intensely challenging, implementation problems that await every OSS/BSS.īut over the years, I’ve observed that there’s a special cohort that have a bigger impact on their projects and their teams. The details of product and project (and BAU operations). The Think-Bigger Pyramid (Frames of Reference) They’re the 95% at step 1 in the Think Bigger Pyramid below that bring their brainpower to solving the myriad of detailed challenges that it takes to make OSS/BSS projects fly. However, I’ve also noticed that most (randomly plucks 95% out of the air) are focused on doing an awesome job of getting their next project or product or feature or project phase or deliverable done so they can move on quickly to the next set of challenges.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that most OSS/BSS practitioners are unbelievably clever. Or more to the point, just articulating the approach that I’ve just intuitively used over the years of OSS/BSS implementing and consulting.
THINK BIGGER PICTURE CRACK
Somewhat disappointed, I thought I’d have a crack at creating my own. The other 2 gave a couple of insights but still weren’t going to help with any Elon Musk level big-picture thinking. Turns out that 8 out of the top 10 results that Google returned were of no help at all. I’d already set aside three books from my bookshelf and thought that Google might have some other great ideas. In the days prior, I decided to investigate frameworks that might help to get me into a bigger-picture and/or lateral-thinking mindset. We had a planned power outage at our place yesterday, so I thought I’d use that as an opportunity to get out of the details of projects and do a day of longer-term strategy and planning.
