This is fantastic advice! One additional thing I do is
Identify people they don’t work with, that you would naturally assume they would. Typically this means:
Your understanding of how processes flow in this industry has some gaps, or some thing you thought was crucial is a solved problem that people don’t think about; or
There is tension and some history here, tread lightly while you figure out the office politics; or
You’ve identified a legitimate opportunity! Be careful here though, you need to understand if some higher ups have misaligned incentives to keep the status quo before you suggest changes.
