A 7-slide pitch deck is the wrong way to communicate your strategy. It lets abstraction mask misalignment. It hides the gaps between your user, your model, your momentum. It creates the illusion of clarity — without the hard work of cohesion.

That project you’re working on? There might be a ticking time bomb inside it. Not the idea. Not the execution. The misalignment hiding under the surface. Most teams never align on what “success” actually means — until it’s too late.

Last week, I introduced The Half Sheet — a fast, visual way to turn abstract ideas into concrete prototypes. This week, I’m sharing the framework that gives those Half Sheets lasting power: The Idea Bucket — a shared container where ideas can evolve over time. pointc.co/the-idea-buc...

Today the 2025 Sulzberger Fellows are doing their final design review, pitching the strategic projects they have accelerated over the last 20 weeks of the program.
