What does delivering value more reliably and sustainably look like? image
as with many other elements: build in smaller batches, built frequently and align often. Especially when dealing with other people, but it also goes for LLM output etc. Align up front.

Congratulations on your article and welcome to the consulting space. One of the great challenges for this kind of work is that the contracts limits being adaptive. The one I’m starring at have content requirements for the the strategy documents.
