The Total Football Effect

Key takeaways:

  • Small, cautious steps often fail where comprehensive transformation succeeds.
  • Anonymous surveys revealed FDJ’s teams were dissatisfied with assembly-line processes and hungry for broader responsibilities.
  • AI enables faster delivery, leading to more opportunities for internal praise and success – and big boosts to team morale.
  • Expertise still matters, but it's about expanding capabilities rather than rigid specialization.
