I really like your answer here.
I wonder if you wouldnāt get the best of both worlds if these thin workstream budgets were proposed separately regardless of operating as an independent workstream?
Thereās actually more than 4. For season 14, weāre likely looking at 7 substreams:
- Growth (Jonas+Sean today)
- Product marketing (Sean today)
- Brand/design (mostly unowned, this is where merch falls)
- Comms/PR (YAP global)
- Content (mostly unowned)
- Events (distributed across workstreams & contributors)
- Strategy & Ops (admin, budgeting/payments, onboarding)
Iād argue that at this phase in our workstreamās development it makes most sense for all of these sub-functions to live within MMM because they can then benefit from better coordination & a cohesive strategy+execution in the setup phase but itās possible that at some point this calculus will change, especially if CSDO is able to scale its processes to accommodate more workstreams.
If we were to split out all of these as their own workstreams now, weād likely gain speed (because weāre removing bottlenecks) but lose cohesiveness and consistency of strategy & vision.
