Outside Perspectives

Short conversations uncovering practical tips for growing businesses.


May, 2026

Chip Neidigh

Founder, Kairos | Leadership Advisor & Executive Coach

Helping CEOs and leadership teams navigate disruptive transitions, build trust, and grow their leadership capacity. Chip specializes in guiding leaders through adaptive challenges—the complex, often disorienting situations that can't be solved with expertise alone.


"Adaptive challenges aren't problems to solve—they're invitations to grow."

WHY WE CREATED THIS SERIES:

At Outside Source, we build connected product experiences. Because of this, we see how fast things move — and how hard it can be to make decisions quickly and confidently.

Outside Perspectives exists to pull back the curtain and share what we’ve learned:

  • What’s working in modern product development

  • How great companies reduce risk

  • How leaders accelerate momentum

New perspectives create new clarity — and better outcomes.
