Why Your Business Decisions Are Creating Problems You Can't See
A single tweak to your pricing strategy seems brilliant - until customer complaints flood in. You launch an aggressive sales campaign - then watch your best employees burn out and quit. Sound familiar? Most business failures don't stem from obvious mistakes but from invisible ripples that spread through an interconnected system. What if there were a framework that revealed these hidden connections before disaster struck? Matt Watkinson's "The Grid" offers exactly that - a deceptively simple nine-box system that maps how every business decision affects everything else. Used quietly by executives at Google and Spotify, this framework treats organizations not as collections of departments but as living ecosystems where touching one element inevitably moves all the others. Think of any successful business you admire. Beneath the surface, they're all balancing the same three fundamental goals: desirability (do customers want what you offer?), profitability (does it make financial sense?), and longevity (can you sustain it over time?). Meanwhile, three forces constantly reshape the landscape: customers evolve, markets shift, and organizations transform. The Grid emerges from the intersection of these goals and forces - a simple table creating nine interconnected boxes that collectively determine success or failure. This systems-based approach stands in stark contrast to how most leaders operate. We optimize individual metrics - conversion rates, cost per acquisition, employee productivity - without considering how improvements in one area might damage another. A restaurant cuts food costs and wonders why customers stop returning. A software company accelerates feature releases and watches technical debt cripple future innovation.
