Design experiments that answer specific questions with minimum time and resources to maximise learning velocity without over-investing in unproven ideas.

The cockpit that sits above your four growth engines. Individual teams can excel at their own metrics, but without orchestration they're musicians playing different songs. This is where everything comes together and where improvements in one engine amplify gains in another.
The wrong tools create friction. The right ones multiply your output without adding complexity. These are the tools I recommend for growth teams that move fast.
Small improvements multiply. A 10% gain across twelve metrics doesn't add up to 120% - it compounds to 3x growth. This is the mathematical engine behind systematic growth.

Four decisions that shape everything else. When growth feels harder than it should, the problem is usually here. Get these right and execution becomes much easier.
Without rhythm, effort becomes scattered and progress invisible. A consistent operating cadence keeps your team aligned and your growth system continuously improving.

A disciplined approach to experiments. Define hypotheses, design MVPs and learn before you scale.
Random testing wastes time and teaches you nothing. Learn how to collect experiment ideas systematically and prioritise them based on potential impact so you always know what to run next.
Track predictable yearly revenue from subscriptions to measure business scale and growth trajectory in B2B SaaS and recurring revenue models.
Maintain an unchanged version in experiments to isolate the impact of your changes and prove causation rather than correlation with external factors.
Win customers through direct sales conversations where reps guide prospects from discovery to close with personalised solutions and relationship building.
Prioritise tasks systematically by sorting them into urgent-important quadrants, focusing effort on high-impact activities.
Track revenue growth from existing customers through expansion and contraction to prove your product delivers increasing value over time.
Track how fast your pipeline of ready-to-buy leads grows to forecast sales capacity needs and spot when lead quality or sales efficiency changes.
Measure the month-over-month growth in qualified leads to predict future revenue and catch pipeline problems before they impact revenue three months later.
Determine whether experiment results reflect real differences or random chance to avoid making expensive decisions based on noise instead of signal.
Define events that start automation workflows so the right message reaches people at the right moment based on their actual behaviour not arbitrary timing.
Articulate the specific outcome customers get from your solution to communicate why they should choose you over doing nothing or using alternatives.
Document your ideal customer's role, goals, and challenges to tailor messaging and prioritise features that solve real problems they actually pay for.
Enable tools to exchange data programmatically so you can build custom integrations and automate processes that vendor-built integrations don't support.
Store raw data from all business systems in one place to run analyses and build reports that combine information across marketing, sales, and product.
Set ambitious goals and measurable outcomes that cascade through your organisation, creating alignment and accountability for strategic priorities.
Store information in browsers to track user behaviour across visits and enable personalised experiences without requiring login for every interaction.
Send a series of scheduled emails that educate prospects over time to stay top-of-mind without overwhelming them with aggressive sales pitches.
Turn satisfied customers into active promoters who systematically bring qualified prospects into your pipeline at near-zero acquisition cost.
Track your user journey through Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue to identify which stage constrains growth most.
Capture specific user actions in your product or website to understand behaviour patterns and measure whether changes improve outcomes or create friction.
Connect tools so data flows automatically between systems to eliminate manual entry, keep records current, and enable sophisticated workflows across platforms.
