Growth Models

Chief Growth Officer at CargoLogik

Useful Links and Resources:

  • Right people, Right seats – feel out the expertise, but gauge for competency 
  • Customer-centricity – No longer an option. Need to understand from their seat, deeply, and with some level of authority/expertise. 
  • Be the Pilot – Control. Always stay in the “driver seat,” esp with BIG clients & stay true to your own product, and venture too. Control the venture outcome. Leverage change management. 
  • Growth – comes in all shapes, and sizes, and is ultimately dependent on tons of factors (many of which are out of your control). Lots of luck and market timing involved. 
  • Product Distribution – Dependent on your own business, tools & tech stack matter. Acquisition channels + sales approach will vary. Think in terms of the client’s commercial experience (i.e. sales process, marketing, etc.)

Document & Data Ownership

CTO at GSBN

Useful Links and Resources:

  • Current situation of the industry:
  • Murky definition on data ownership – Hard for “data consumer” to prove every data owner. Incentive for adoption on data sharing is not clear. Multiple “sources” of truth
  • Suggestions: Standards should be driven by non-for-profit. Data should be paid for use only. A framework on data ownership for the industry could be a good direction.
