Business Tooth and Claw, Corporate Strategy to Win the War

Header image: Corporate Strategy: Tooth and Claw

Corporate strategy sets the overall direction of an organization: which businesses and markets it will compete in, how resources will be allocated, how the portfolio fits together, and what tradeoffs leadership is willing to make.

Those choices matter because business can be tooth and claw. In tooth-and-claw corporate competition, strategy helps the organization win the war for focus without treating every tactical move as a separate battle. A strong strategy aligns structure, resources, and execution before competition exposes the gaps.

Black-and-white illustration of an engineer standing beside a rack of code-hosting servers, representing the choice between Bitbucket and GitHub for version control software at a business.

If you want a large team of enterprise developers to collaborate effectively, you need to find a suitable place to host your code. Choosing a version control and repository hosting service might not seem like a big deal. But the repo host you choose can have serious consequences for your developers’ productivity and ability to build great products.

Both GitHub and Atlassian’s Bitbucket offer paying customers an unlimited amount of private and public repositories. What distinguishes them isn’t their core hosting function. It’s how they affect your project in different ways.

Automate Your Exception Reports: It’s Easy, Here’s How

Header image: Automate Exception Reports

Part of the reality of managing operations at any scale is understanding that sometimes things go wrong. A step gets skipped, a number lands outside the expected range, a handoff stalls. An exception report is how you catch that moment, record exactly what happened, and act on it before a small deviation turns into a real problem. It is the first step in a critical culture where people can identify when and why a process has had a problem, so you can track problems, investigate them, and improve processes to stop those problems occurring.

The hard part is making that first step happen each and every time, with the right amount of detail, and in a way that is quick and painless to take. Done well, this is the art of an exception report: it illuminates your problems and becomes a crucial linchpin in a broader effort to improve processes and, in turn, outcomes. This Process Street guide shows you how to make that capture automatic.

Business Process Analysis (Without the Jaw-Breaking Yawn)

Operations analyst examining a business process flow on an industrial-style workflow machine

Business process analysis is the practice of examining how work currently moves from an input to an output, then using evidence to find delays, unclear ownership, unnecessary steps, and control gaps.

That definition sounds manageable. The subject does not always. Business process management has an image problem: godawful clip art, filing cabinets, and bosses who sincerely talk about wheelhouses, paradigms, and scaffolding. The useful version is much simpler. Look closely at how work gets done, document it, and improve it.

Content Creation Workflows: Why You Need One and How to Build It

Editorial operations lead moving a content card through a physical production workflow board

A content creation workflow is the repeatable path an idea follows from intake and briefing through production, review, approval, publishing, promotion, and measurement. It connects creative judgment to clear ownership, so contributors can focus on the work while the system handles handoffs, status, and evidence.

Without that path, even strong content gets trapped in scattered messages, inconsistent briefs, late reviews, and manual updates. This guide shows how our workflow evolved from a lightweight small-team setup into a connected production system, then explains how to build a durable version for your own team.

Communication Plan: How to Prepare for (and Prevent) Disaster

Communication plan prevents disaster with a prepared response operator and emergency broadcast equipment

Who is Kanye West? A musical genius, a passionate campaigner, or a spontaneous communicator whose unplanned words can outrun their intent? Celebrity outbursts make vivid examples, but the underlying risk applies to any organization: a message sent without a plan can damage trust before anyone has time to correct it.

A strong communication plan replaces improvisation with clear audiences, messages, owners, channels, timing, approvals, and feedback. It helps a team prepare for and prevent disaster during everyday work, campaigns, and crises, when speed matters but accuracy matters more.
