“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the
hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have
done. Innovation is saying NO to 1,000 things.”
― Steve Jobs

Why ?
We need to convey a message for the inspired
VISION.
Helps you with prioritisation and focus on long-
term thinking vs short-term thinking.
Serves as a guide for any decision-making
process. Aka say NO easily.
It helps communication and keeps the team and
the stakeholders aligned.

Communication: A deck, a doc, Repeat, Discuss,

There are different frameworks for different
