Execution: Just Do It!!

I’ve been involved with several pilots in the Defense Department over the years and to learn that another critical program is being overly reviewed and granted unneeded extensions is frustrating.   Many would say that programs of this magnitude need extensive reviews and meetings to determine the right way to move forward.  I would argue that reviews and meetings waste time and resources.  The time and resources committed to endless meetings could be better served in just executing the pilot.  Remember, a pilot is a test and tests are not intended to be perfect.   By design, pilots are learning experiences that eventually lead to the optimal solution.   Even if we identify the right stakeholder to manage the program, optimal solutions or ways forward will never be achieved in more meetings and extensive reviews.

Just Do It.
