The next two minutes of your life will hopefully leave you with a better grip on why Tetheros exists. Let’s start with the problem.
Strategic collaboration is hard
Modern teams face four major threats to better collaboration:
Illusions of Productivity
Work-strategy misalignment creates busy work.
Teams that don’t know what to work on (sometimes by accident) end up pursuing what they think is best, and the risk that they’re working on items that don’t add value skyrockets.
Logo Donation Budgets
Teams with too many software tools drain their productivity through constant context switching between applications.
Ever moved between email, chat, your task manager, and back so many times you weren’t sure you really got much done? Too many products on your desk can be harmful - especially when they each do one thing only.
Feelings-Based Success Models
Teams that lack measurable goals often use vanity metrics to know if their work is on track.
Projects, initiatives, and efforts that don’t draw clear lines of victory are hard to finish, and you can’t improve what you aren’t measuring.
98% Irrelevant Weekly Meetings
Organizing hybrid teams increases the risk of having unproductive status meetings.
Blurry assignments and deadlinesgive rise to dreadful meetings that only exist to coordinate efforts from a central place.
Only a sliver of the content applies to everyone on the call.
The art of delivering work as a team that matters is hard.
How can teams work together more effectively?
A digital collaboration platform that exposes and strengthens the relationships between strategy and work.
The platform blends task management, strategic planning, and communication into one lovely little package. In the business software market, millions of single-purpose solutions (email, CRM, etc) make it seem like these ideas are separate.
They are not separate.
Work, strategy, and communication are smaller parts of a single conversation.
Treating them as solo solutions risks chaos whereas uniting them brings alignment and boosts operational effectiveness.
Why Tetheros is necessary
Misalignment of effort and impact creates massive waste.
Organizations that prioritize alignment require a well-integrated or comprehensive solution, like Tetheros, that compliments teamwork without adding bureaucracy.
The platform adds visibility**,** which makes it easier for teams to do the right thing.
Having a clear line of sight to the destination allows teams to row the boat in the same direction instead of spinning in place.
Why now?
Operational effectiveness is the most desirable competitive advantage in saturated markets lacking a strong central incumbent.
During this recession…
- Organizations that accept bureaucracy will die.
- Organizations that are good stewards of their resources will survive.
- Organizations that optimize their operations will thrive.
So that’s Tetheros’ elevator pitch (the simplified version). There’s a longer version covering the market, product, business model, and company timeline, but that’s a discussion for later - and for taller elevators.
If you want to see it sooner, consider becoming an early partner of Tetheros, an investor, or a relative of the founder.
