The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

So I was just realizing like no one else has such incredible things happening at this company, but nobody knows about it or like not enough people know.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

So we started, I'm trying to work on that problem more.

The Knowledge Project

It was kind of to overcome this telephone problems.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

Like I just realized, oh, like no one else has the access I do.

Monthly.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

There's about 26 teams that do an MBR, a monthly business review, in a six-pager.

And then that's just like – I think we cap it at six, but the six isn't that important.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

Honestly, I actually think the six-pager is sort of maybe wrong.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

I'm not sure, but –

It's more how much time it takes to read.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

Right.

You know, what's Twain say?

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

Like, it's harder to write a six-pager than it is to write a 12-pager.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

For a lot of businesses.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

And so, like, if you had more empathy for the people who are working hard, you'd let them write the 12-pager and spend more time reading it.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

But it turns out that six pages seems fine.

The Knowledge Project
Ryan Petersen: Building Flexport

So we have, I think, 25 or 26 teams that write those monthly.

The Knowledge Project

And then they do an annual plan.
