Preparing for Utah

The Broadwick executive team and Directors are heading out to Utah Thursday through Sunday to brainstorm about the future of the company. Today I spent much of the day preparing.

The bulk of the preparing came in putting together a notebook containing information on the topics we’ll be discussing. It’s broken up into six categories–the Company and Product Vision, Creating Growth, Managing Growth, Key Documents, Broadwick Day Information, and Competitors.

Today, I updated the revenue projections, created a projections sheet, put some ideas together on our evolving mission and product vision, brainstormed on how to create revenue growth in the company in 2007, brainstormed on how to manage that growth in 2007, updated our strategic intiatives sheet, updated our staffing plan, reorganized the feature timeline, reviewed 28 of our competitors websites, and created up a list of improv games from my treo notes at improv class that we may play during our down time in Utah.

We’re really thinking at the moment about the company and product vision and hopefully will have some big announcements in a couple months stemming from what we’re discussing today.

I also I re-listened to Built to Last today, which I’ll be posting some notes from in a couple days.

Here’s to learning how to ski for the first time!

Yes, it is 4:16am and I’m still in the office, and yes, I will be at work by 10:30.
