Are you Walking in a World of Bicycles? 🛣️ 🚶🏽‍♂️🚲

Every day, you make countless decisions, switch focus constantly, and hunt for the signal in all the noise. It’s exhausting and never-ending.

Steve Jobs once called the computer a “bicycle for the mind.” He was referring to a Scientific American study where a human on a bike was vastly more efficient than the most efficient animal, a condor in flight. Without a bike, humans were ranked middle of the pack on efficiency of the animals studied. The right tool creates a massive advantage.

What are the bicycles in your organization? Do you work off knowledge in people’s head, well established assumptions, and key information found across spreadsheets, systems, emails and documents? It is hard when you are working the business to work on the business. However, the time invested in finding the right bicycles for you will pay off handsomely.

At Ciclo Strategy we have a few bicycles in our garage. For example, we use AI extensively in coding, in assessing our own performance (no-holding back!), and we also use it to help our customers get beyond the blank page in devising plans.

🚲 Best of luck finding the bicycle that fits! 🚲
