When it comes to creating — and then launching — new products and services, does your organization have a mindset of “extreme shipping”? Or “maybe we’ll ship this someday”? Our November 2025 members’ meeting featured George Leimer, GM of Yahoo! Finance and former Head of Product and Technology of Yahoo! Sports. Leimer has also been a startup CEO and SVP of Data Platforms at the Walt Disney Company. He shared experiences from throughout his career on getting cultures in shape to innovate faster.
He also spoke about why SLC (simple, lovable, and complete) may be a better goal for launching something than MVP (minimum viable product.) And the importance of setting unmissable deadlines.
