No two organizations are alike. To make transformation a success, we must determine how to apply broader principles to everyday actions. A pilot team helps get those details right.

Transforming an organization from a cash-cow mentality to a growth business requires putting decision-making power where the action is: in engineering and product management. With the help of a pilot team, we can show the rest of the organization how this works.

Attempting to transform an organization without the support of senior executives will fail the moment we approach strong resistance. Instead, use a pilot team to prove what transformation can do for the organization and agree on facts rather than opinions.

Instead of a big bang transformation that loses its grip once the initial attention is gone, let's use a more sustainable way to transform. Start with a pilot team and scale once we understand how it works.

Instead of making the things we already do more digital, let's rethink the way we do things in an organization. Reclaim the ability to innovate and get out of the cash cow mentality with the pilot team approach.
