Accelerate Action

Thanks to AlphaSense for hosting our recent NYC event on the topic “Accelerate Action”! Our panelists, Sarah Samuels (AlphaSense), Rebecca Schrager (Movable Ink), Lee Shemer (Monte Carlo) and Katie Capuzzo (WISE) shared tips for accelerating progress and inspiring action. Here’s what we covered:

• Give it your best 80%. Don’t be obsessed with perfection. Instead, stand the project up and then incorporate outside ideas to finish the last 20%. Sometimes you’ll need to let go of lower priority items to make room for true needle movers.
• Curiosity fuels resilience. Be careful not to get stagnant with your product knowledge or customer relationships. Always be learning and if you have a hunch, ask direct questions.
• Take on the challenge. See a problem? Be open to suggesting solutions. The solution may not be ideal and that’s ok. By ideating and looping in management/peers, you can collaborate to solve the problem.
