I often look at the Objective and see if there are words that could be quantified. In the example above, “love” becomes NPS4 and “sales” becomes referrals. Both are measurable outcomes.
Radical Focus SECOND EDITION
Christina Wodtke
I am describing a strategy as a design rather than as a plan or as a choice because I want to emphasize the issue of mutual adjustment. In design problems, where various elements must be arranged, adjusted, and coordinated, there can be sharply peaked gains to getting combinations right and sharp costs to getting them wrong. A good strategy coordinates policies across activities to focus the competitive punch.
Good Strategy/Bad Strategy
Richard Rumelt
I emphasize to product people all the time that there is no single product discovery process just as there is no single product development/delivery process. There are many different discovery processes, all for different situations. For example, a [discovery sprint](https://svpg.com/discovery-sprints/) looks very different from customer discovery, but you should be skilled at both.
Moreover, it’s important to realize that it’s not about process. It’s much more about putting in place the necessary culture, and training your team on the critical techniques.
