Hypothesize

Imagine, Think, Be Creative

Be Creative – What’s Next You Ask?

Methodology – Hypothesize

Fixed Ideas Need New Ideas, New People; New Solutions. Thinking inside and outside the box, critical thinking, deep learning are all skills that customers appreciate, as they feel that their voice is being heard.

We enjoy brainstorming, storming, testing and finding results. Hypothesize more, or as much as you can. However, results are for another topic; thinking about what you want to achieve with your business is crucial. We aim to generate big ideas, building on them and offer great solutions.

The Scientific Method: Same Process Applies

Representing our brand with a variation or spin on the scientific method is just another way to approach things. You may be wondering where to start, how to start, and who will lead the change. Well, it’s probably you.

The key is to begin somewhere, whether with a small or large change. The importance of hypothesizing is crucial when considering change. So, should we change or not? The question to ask is what cost, risks, and benefits are associated with making this change feasible. What costs are we avoiding my implementing this change? Check out our upcoming articles on our methodology, where we discuss hypothesizing, generating good ideas, and putting them to the test, thorough testing. The results of our testing guide us towards the learning process and the application of our findings.

So, should we change or not? The question is, what are the costs, risks, and benefits associated with making this change possible? What costs are we avoiding by implementing this feasible change? Please refer to the following articles on our methodology. We discuss the process of hypothesizing, generating good ideas, and testing them. The outcomes of our testing lead us towards the learning process and the application of our test results.

Lets’s explore the entire process, starting with hypothesizing (as highlighted in this article, active idea generation), then moving on to testing, learning & applying. We discuss these topics and more in our marketing and methodology articles covering possible changes, navigating challenges, improving vision, and knowing when to seek improvement or transformation. While there are many other topics to consider, let’s start here!

Partners

Finding The Right People: Partners

Methodology – Partnership

We Want To Recognize Our Partners, Contractors, Mentors and Friends. The right people, the right products or services, and the right time are crucial. We aim to ride out the troughs and experience controlled growth in the peaks, always looking for the right time to expand with the right partnership in place.

A great strategy can withstand the storm and even thrive in a downturned market… It is important to remember that partnership, is a foundational characteristic in running an organization. We collaborate with our customers, friends, and family to solve problems in real-time during the peaks, while also preparing and safeguarding our investments for the next trough.

Partners – why partners? As the second part of our foundational message, we welcome new partners and celebrate our past. We have evolved from a garage to a startup to a small business. Someday we will welcome the next step, whatever and whenever that may be. Until then, we encourage you today. Test your business strategy to see what can change. What is considered low-hanging fruit or easy change with maximum benefit, and what is considered limited expense with limited benefit and maximum expense.

There is something right in front of you that can be tried. Try something today. We did, and we are grateful to those who have been advocates of ours for many years. Join us in celebrating our early freelancing business partner: Davis and Sallee Design Ltd., Sallee Corporation clients in our beginning-to-mid years and the Sallee Technology team today. Equally important, let’s recognize those who came before us, those who make this possible everyday. They who provided the vision, a strategy and a never quit attitude: NABRAN Enterprises, Inc. Soon we hope to launch a 501c3 effort to help others in need.

Thank you.

Growth

Grow With Those Around You, Right People, Right Time, Test and Drive Towards Excellence

Methodology – Growth

How do you envision the growth of your business over time? With all the highs and lows, learning lessons… Grow wisely, grow locally and grow independently.

We selected growth as our first six foundational messages; growth represents the potential for change. Embrace growth, try something new today, whether right or wrong (in the sense of ROI), there is always room for growth. You have to find the growth. Take action with Cost-to-Benefit CBA driven backlog leads to transformative change, making it scalable and always present in growth focused, forward-thinking business. What’s unique about growth? Anyone can grow, change, or improve. We utilize a well-known method for improvement, drawing from the scientific method, learning from failures, and relying on empirical evidence.

Nothing new, nothing transformative from a business model perspective. We find that successful change is deeply rooted in change itself, based on what you know today – empirical evidence. There are numerous studies, years of management courses, and extensive learning required to implement, work, and excel in any one of the 15 flavors of Waterfall, Agile, Agile At Scale, Scrum and so on. Why are there so many? Yes, we acknowledge that systems need to scale from garage to enterprise. However, we must ask why there are so many variants.

The answer is simple, making a system that fits your organization can have various outcomes, ranging from bad to good to downright ugly. It is crucial to hire the right people, require skills beyond completing tasks, have team members take ownership of their work, and follow a process of: hypothesizing, testing, learning and applying (said learnings). Yes, we believe it is. Additionally, we believe in taking a pragmatic approach to incremental change, or in this case, incremental growth. We always acknowledge that failures can be difficult, but the key difference lies in the ability to learn from them. If you fail and do not learn, then it is indeed a loss. However, the silver lining is the potential for change that can result from the learning process, regardless of perspective. We see this as the micro-growth necessary to enhance your business, regardless of its size, level, or challenges.

What problems can we help you solve today?
