When deciding what to do, asking "Is valuable for the company?" is the wrong question. Even "Is this a good idea?" is the wrong question.
There are no shortage of good ideas or things that would be beneficial for the business. I have a list of 100+ things that would obviously make sense for Pilot to do—but we aren't currently working on any of them.
What should you be asking instead?
The right question to ask is: "Do we absolutely need to do thing XYZ to hit our goals this {year, quarter, month}."
If the answer is no, you should probably put more firepower behind your must-win bets, rather than letting your team get distracted by these other good but not essential ideas.
(That's the most frustrating part of all of this: these other ideas are good, and you actually will build them at some point—just not now!)
