Course Outline

Setting the Stage Learn about the background for scaling an organization, understand the differences between air war mode and ground war mode, and why organizations need to use the brake and go slower if they want to go faster later.	The Scaling Mantras Examine the three overarching ideas of scaling: spread the mindset not just the footprint; fear the clusterfug; determine if your organization wants to follow a standardized, replication-based scaling model or follow a looser set of guardrails.
Applying Scaling Principles Explore the five principles of scaling and how to apply them to your organization: develop a story that embodies a hot cause; cut cognitive load; multiply talent with felt accountability; connect and cascade by creating organizational excellence so you have excellence to spread; and get rid of bad so good can spread because bad is stronger than good.	Parting Points Learn why it’s important to use pre-mortems to avoid clusterfugs and how to write one.
