A ramble on planning
So I’ve been thinking about how to best explain how OrangeCoat plans and the best I could I come up with was we plan by doing.
We are spending some of this morning to finish up a proposal that is going out today. It’s an evolution from past proposals. We explain, organize and think about things a little differently than we did in the past. I’m pretty sure we will use this new proposal structure going forward. The thing about it is, we would have never just outlined that structure one day if we had a to-do list item to “tweak the proposal structure”. It grew organically from our needs and while actually working on a proposal.
The same can be said about a bunch of our stuff. We re-write our business plan by redoing our website. We don’t need to spend the extra time to write a formal business plan, we spent a ton of time writing a business plan that also serves marketing piece.
We made a ton of design and UI changes to OC4 after it went live. Etc, etc.
We plan by doing
We practice organic planning
Our business is always in Beta
