A Culture of
Experimentation:
Fuel for a Mission-Driven Business
with Joseph Ney
#StrategicMomentum
Building a Mission-Driven Business
September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates 3
• Ensuring there is clarity around the mission for your organization
matters but that’s only the start
– Get everyone rallied around the common beliefs and understanding of how
the organization operates.
• Start small, stay nimble and be flexible - it enables you to be
efficient by doing things faster, better, or cheaper (or all three)
• Find those entrepreneurial opportunities among the everyday
businesses that you see around you.
Adopting Experimentation Early On
• A culture of experimentation
helps you evolve and grow while
creating the flexibility that is
necessary to adapt.
• Your observations and learnings
will help you realize that how you
manage things isn’t going to be
right at every scale.

September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
“It's never perfect on day one, but we build it to
adapt to the imperfections and evolve itself, and
then concentrate on making ‘fine tunements,’ if all
that's needed are ‘fine tunements,’ or scrapping and
reloading for the larger-scale opportunities.’”
-Joseph Ney
The “Opportunity Mindset” to Evolve
An opportunity mindset predisposes
you and your team to take advantage
of potential opportunities, helps you
pivot and adjust.
• Be mindful of what works for you and
what doesn’t; understand that it may
constantly evolve depending on the
opportunities that are presented.
• Realize that change is constant, but those
common beliefs you started the business
from remain the same

Embracing the Pivot
September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates 7
• Growth comes down to experimentation, so you have to be able
to pivot.
• Being able to pivot doesn’t depend on having a perfect culture,
top-dollar talent, or high profile positions/titles — just focus on
being agile and flexible.
• But remember, don’t let the mission of your organization get
obscured as you pivot.
#StrategicMomentum
Hiring Talent & Sustaining Your Culture
• When you have clear and
obvious limitations as you scale,
focus on other factors that you
know could be of value.
– e.g. The inability to afford
high-priced talent.
– In particular with Millennial talent,
offer employees the opportunity to
work with cause-related efforts and
give them significant responsibility
early.

September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
Hiring Talent & Sustaining Your Culture
• Hire people who are smarter, brighter, more enthusiastic and
opportunistic than you are.
• But as you grow, realize that not everyone is going to gel with the
way you do things. It’s better for both parties if you recognize
that quickly.
• Making personnel adjustments as soon as you can results in
fewer mismatches in the long run.

Building a Mission-Driven Business September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates 3 • Ensuring there is clarity around the mission for your organization matters but that’s only the start – Get everyone rallied around the common beliefs and understanding of how the organization operates. • Start small, stay nimble and be flexible - it enables you to be efficient by doing things faster, better, or cheaper (or all three) • Find those entrepreneurial opportunities among the everyday businesses that you see around you.
  • 4. Adopting Experimentation Early On • A culture of experimentation helps you evolve and grow while creating the flexibility that is necessary to adapt. • Your observations and learnings will help you realize that how you manage things isn’t going to be right at every scale. 4 September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
  • 5. “It's never perfect on day one, but we build it to adapt to the imperfections and evolve itself, and then concentrate on making ‘fine tunements,’ if all that's needed are ‘fine tunements,’ or scrapping and reloading for the larger-scale opportunities.’” -Joseph Ney
  • 6. The “Opportunity Mindset” to Evolve An opportunity mindset predisposes you and your team to take advantage of potential opportunities, helps you pivot and adjust. • Be mindful of what works for you and what doesn’t; understand that it may constantly evolve depending on the opportunities that are presented. • Realize that change is constant, but those common beliefs you started the business from remain the same 6 September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
  • 8. Embracing the Pivot September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates 7 • Growth comes down to experimentation, so you have to be able to pivot. • Being able to pivot doesn’t depend on having a perfect culture, top-dollar talent, or high profile positions/titles — just focus on being agile and flexible. • But remember, don’t let the mission of your organization get obscured as you pivot.
  • 10. Hiring Talent & Sustaining Your Culture • When you have clear and obvious limitations as you scale, focus on other factors that you know could be of value. – e.g. The inability to afford high-priced talent. – In particular with Millennial talent, offer employees the opportunity to work with cause-related efforts and give them significant responsibility early. 8 September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
  • 11. Hiring Talent & Sustaining Your Culture • Hire people who are smarter, brighter, more enthusiastic and opportunistic than you are. • But as you grow, realize that not everyone is going to gel with the way you do things. It’s better for both parties if you recognize that quickly. • Making personnel adjustments as soon as you can results in fewer mismatches in the long run. 8 September 2018 A Culture of Experimentation with Joseph Ney | Flywheel Associates
