Stand and be counted Canada. 🇨🇦 You don’t need to be a partisan, but you need to take a side. Keep your head up when you go into contact.

very funny that City of Vancouver staff, who refused to obey a unanimous council vote to start providing real time updates on a platform other than just X, responded to X's new posting limits by giving up entirely it's fun to just ignore the will of council

Saying that the country has never been more divided is possibly an insult to Canada's rich history of being divided.

Different people integrate at different speeds. This is the only framework I've used that actually accounts for that. What would you change? 7/7

The catch: this model requires a manager to show up at every gate. Not with a form. With a conversation. Most don't. That's why most onboarding fails — not because the system is wrong, but because no one holds the system & the relationship. 6/XX

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Days 61–90: Full accountability. Full team cadence. 1:1 moves to monthly. Ambitious goal tied to team OKRs. And one final test: can they scope their next project independently? Gate question: "What would you do differently onboarding the next person into this role?" 5/XX

100

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Days 31–60: First proof of output. Drop the daily check-in. Add a cross-functional touchpoint. Run one project end-to-end — real stakes, scoped appropriately. First output metric, and they propose it. Gate question: "What did you learn from running it yourself?" 4/XX

100

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Days 0–30: Context before contribution. Daily check-in with their manager. One team meeting. No OKRs — learning targets only. What did they read, question, understand? Gate question: "What do you know now that you didn't on Day 1?" 3/XX

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

We unlock structure in layers, calibrated to what they've proven they’re capable of. The 30-60-90 gate model. Not a form — a conversation at each gate about what's working and what's next. 2/XX

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Most onboarding treats everyone the same. Same meetings. Same tools. Same deadlines — regardless of where someone actually is. That’s not fair & it’s expensive. Here’s why I do instead.👇 #Strategy #People #Operations #Recruiting #Onboarding #Communications #SauderStrategy🗺️ 1/XX

In honour of the opening of the new Anse-à-l'Orme (A3) branch, here is the REM overlaid other Canadian cities. I tried to roughly centre Gare Centrale with the centre of the city to convey just how much high-quality, automated rail has been built in such a relatively short period of time!!

The current two branches of the REM imposed over Toronto, with Gare Centrale roughly lining up with the intersection of Bloor and Yonge. The A1 branch (that terminates in Brossard) extends past the Beaches and into the lake, just south of Birch Cliff. The A2 branch to Deux-Montagne extends well into Mississauga, terminating around Erin Mills parkway, north of Eglinton Ave. The newly opened A3 branch would extend all the way into southern Oakville, close to Sixteen Mile Creek.

The current REM laid over Metro Vancouver, with Gare Centrale centred around Granville Station. The A1 branch extends into West Vancouver and terminates west of Mount Seymour. The main branch extends roughly parallel with the existing SkyTrain ROW, branching out around Edmonds. The A2 branch extends into Surrey and terminates around East Newton. The new A3 branch reaches into Coquitlam, terminating in Port Coquitlam.

The REM overlaid Ottawa, with Gare Centrale roughly lining up with Parliament station. The A1 branch extends east up to the boundary of Orleans. The other two branches extend west, with A2 terminating west of Stittsville, and the new A3 branch extending into farmland.

The REM laid over Edmonton, with Gare Centrale centred over Churchill Station. The A1 branch extends north east along Fort Road, terminating in the Horse Hills area. The other two branches run south of the city, with A2 terminating in farmland southwest of the airport, and A3 terminating due south of Leduc.

Great to see heat pumps being installed @thompsonriversu.bsky.social which will soon be replacing at least 95% of natural gas heating in over 600,000 square feet of buildings via a new district energy system powered by hydro-electricity. Heat pumps at work @techconnectify.bsky.social !

a heat pump is lifted by a crane for installation

a diagram shows how air source heat is then further upgraded to water source heat for use in a district energy system. natural gas will continue to provide 5% of system load.

Personal Note: It’s a real gift to find someone who precedes you who has already done the work you’re starting out in doing. For me, that person has been Richard P. Rumelt. If I’m lucky enough, some day soon, I’ll be able to tell the man that he’s become a Mentor.

The Logic of the Strategy should make sense to other level headed people. To have someone believe you & trust in your strategy, there has to be a Logic, some evidence, as to how you plan to deal with the challenges you face.

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Heraclitus said, “Character is Fate.” Speak plainly. You might gamble & take risks, but be clear about the nature of the bet. You build trust in your long term results by having a story — a strategy, a narrative — about how your actions today fit into a plan to create a better future.

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Some situations are irretrievable, and there isn’t always a clever way out. In order to meet a challenge, you should first work to comprehend its nature. You cannot improve a failing school system unless you have a clear idea why it is failing.

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

To be a Strategist you will have to keep your Actions & your Policies coherent with each other, not nullifying your efforts by having too many different initiatives or conflicting purposes. The truth is the majority of businesses *cannot* be above average.

100

Kit Sauder @kitsauder.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

To be a Strategist you will need to: • Embrace the full complexity of the challenges & opportunities you face • Develop a sense of ‘the crux’ of the problem • Be persistent • Take responsibility for both external challenges & the health of your organization • Seek to balance purpose & values

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
