What My Sweet Cream Coffee Taught Me About Enterprise Strategy

Every morning starts with the same ritual: a hot coffee with a splash of sweet cream…my guilty pleasure.

It’s a small thing, but it reminds me of a bigger truth: real transformation rarely comes from one massive shift. It comes from little rituals that add consistency, momentum and sometimes joy.

In my last blog, I wrote about how cloud, AI, and DevOps collide to create both opportunity and chaos. The difference between chaos and progress isn’t always a major re-org or a new platform…it’s often the simple, repeatable habits teams adopt to make strategy real.

I’ve seen organizations gain traction by embedding small rituals, like a weekly check-in focused on overall company health, operations, and key initiatives. It may feel small, but over time it compounds…aligning teams, surfacing friction points early, and driving measurable results.

The big lesson? Enterprise change doesn’t always need to feel heavy. Sometimes, it’s about the light touch that keeps you grounded and moving forward.

So…what’s your version of sweet cream? That small daily or weekly habit that makes the hard work feel sustainable.
