Great list, Grant. I would put Creating Differentiation at the top. Kyle Coleman did a great presentation (at Exit 5 Drive) where he put up four homepages (including his own company's before he started working there). The headlines were hard to tell apart. Sameness = boring = lose the audience.

Grant Johnson Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive Index. I completely agree with you on the importance of #1: Without alignment on key metrics and success benchmarks, it’s like driving without a map. Clarity on what "good" looks like helps track progress.
