Matt's new book The LEAP Guide sets out 4 steps in a crystal clear framework to accelerate innovation in your business in the Age of AI.
This is a cyclical approach to innovation that can be implemented immediately, with minimal resources and at scale.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The modern Western way of managing people was created to get the 4 million troops returning after WWII back into work. It doesn´t work for today´s workforce.
- Having an incessant focus on growth leads us to growth at all costs, which studies show increases the chances of going out of business.
- When you focus on growth you forget to look at efficiency.
- Ask your employees what is slowing them down, then provide them with what they need to work more efficiently.
- Efficiency shouldn´t be about reducing your workforce. Make it clear to your employees that they will be given other work to do.
- Create efficiency, then reinvest that into growing the capabilities of your organization.
- The people who do the jobs need to be the ones to map out the processes and carry out the cross-department discussions to identify and eliminate pain points.
- KPIs should be system measurements and be analysed alongside employees.
- Fix problems in a way that ensures they do not occur again.
- 94% of all problems that management deals with are process problems. Empower your people to remove that pain.
BEST MOMENTS
“It means that they can take pride and joy in their work instead of the drudgery of work.”
“Empower people to measure the system, never blame them.”
“Those who write the plan, don’t fight the plan.”
“Design it with the front-line people in mind.”
“Allow the people to experiment, not management.”
“I think this country needs an enema, and I think one is coming.”
