250. What, specifically, are we going to do better next time?

This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.

 

TRANSCRIPT:

Question #48: What, specifically, are we going to do better next time? I could’ve made this the shortest episode ever by just stating the question and leaving it at that. I suspect it’s obvious what the point of this question is and why it matters. It forces us to abandon the assumption that we’re perfect, and prompts us to make – and hopefully follow through on – commitments. The only reason I have more to say is that I don’t want to pretend that this question is easy to answer. It’s not. The universe of boardrooms is not overflowing with examples of cool new things to try or even little tweaks to conventional processes and approaches. But that doesn’t mean we have to rely on our imaginations. I mean, the whole POINT of OMG is to give you ideas so that you don’t have to come up with your own. And this is episode 250, so there’s lots of material! So, if it’s been a while, take a sec and scroll through the archives of the show and see if a title catches your eye. It might inspire a cool answer to today’s question. Or read The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker or listen to Expert in a Dying Field by The Beths (the song or, even better, the album). Or if you’re getting stuck on details, listen to Perfect Sound Whatever by Jeff Rosenstock. I dunno. Just try something! Also, thanks so much for listening. 250 episodes feels kinda unreal.
