Here’s my page about how I am a EOS Visionary looking for a partner/client.

This post might be outdated and has been replaced with my EOS Visionary page. Please refer to that page at SamSauer.org/EOS-Visionary. I am an EOS Visionary who is looking for an EOS Visionary who is overwhelmed, an EOS Integrator, or a company replacing their current EOS Visionary. I would act as a full-time or part-time/fractional EOS Visionary.Let’s break down what I’d do for each of those. If you’re an EOS Visionary Most EOS companies only have one Visionary who sits at the top, ignoring Visionaries who operate as a subordinate. As offerings multiply, a product/service line may merit its own…

“The Visionary [who focuses on ideation for ambiguous problems] and the Integrator [who focuses on execution] couldn’t be more different in terms of how they think and problem-solve. However, when their individual Unique Ability is correctly matched together and they are working toward the same business goals, the results can be exciting.”(Source: EOS Worldwide blog, eosworldwide.com/blog/visionaries-and-integrators-are-essential-part-one)Recently finished Traction by @Gino Wickman. EOS is a business operating system that drives fast, high-quality growth and nurtures the right ideas.While many modern millionaires dismiss ideation as fluff, EOS (arguably the world’s most reputable business OS) recognizes its value and how talent in ideation…

The best chess player was not an AI.The best chess player was an AI with a human (a Centaur Team).Chess engines (AKA chess AIs) determined how good/bad a move is by analyzing the possible positions resulting from that move, and then comparing them to the other possible positions resulting from other possible moves.Chess engines didn’t genuinely understand position dynamics like a Grandmaster did, and that led to some positions where a Grandmaster has a better strategy than an engine due to the limits of such brute force.Chess engines didn’t look at position and think, ‘Hmm, this is a really closed…

As Andy Jassy (CEO of Amazon) discusses in Leadership Principles Explained (a short free Audible audiobook), Amazon was struggling with figuring out how to incorporate 3rd Party listings into Amazon’s marketplace.Amazon later realized that they should just incorporate it into Amazon’s main marketplace rather than have it as a separate marketplace. As he admitted, that was a somewhat obvious better solution to what the solutions Amazon was previously pursuing.That’s a classic example of why an outside perspective can be very helpful. When only inside experts are working on something, they miss out on what an outside non-expert would see.Despite Amazon…

There are many types of intelligence essential in business, and each type is mutually exclusive from its opposite type.It’s impossible for one person to excel in every type.If someone is a genius in one type of intelligence, they struggle with another type.The smartest person is also the dumbest person.Individually, it’d be best to have a balance across every type. Collaboratively, it’s better to seek out imbalance.The most productive teams are ones that have a genius/buffoon for each type of intelligence.

As part of my never-ending Informal Education PhD degree from Non-Existent University, I finished listing to Leadership Principles Explained by Andy Jassy (CEO of Amazon) which is free from Audible. Here are two things I found interesting.1️⃣ Andy Jassy (who also narrates this short audiobook) talks in a remarkably similar way as Jeff Bezos.Andy even seems to do the unusual mouth/throat movements as a pause to his dialogue that Jeff Bezos does from listening to the audio. I previously suspected that Jeff Bezos did that based on having a mild form of some inconsequential mouth/throat condition, but it now makes…

This post is in reference to the video in this hyperlinked LinkedIn post. (FYI, I do not endorse what William Naranjo is selling; I’m just referring to the video.)At least half of the time Elon Musk discusses his thoughts on something for over 2 minutes (that isn’t technical like rocket engine design), it feels erie because I drew those same conclusions that I’ve never heard anybody else explicitly say before.I remember sitting and thinking about the economics of technology taking people’s jobs as a teenager and basically concluded everything Elon Musk says in that video plus some additions. The limiting…

There are many ideation specialists for ambiguous problems in the world. But, they don’t have consistent naming because the people who are such specialists aren’t able to advertise themselves as such because ideation is widely undervalued.The service that these people provide to their employer is still ideation for ambiguous problems, and that’s what keeps their employer/customers coming back for more, but they have to hide behind a less accurate title because many people don’t value/understand ideation enough. I suspect that’s partially because an employer’s/customer’s ego would get in the way if these people did advertise themselves for ideation which I’d…
