Dexterity

Accountability

• Hire people better and brighter than you are• New approaches for new challenges, but don’t solve the old

problems all over again

• True ownership, actively involved – you cannot outsource the voice of the customer; nor can the business delegate its responsibility

• Day to day not Board to Bored• Give the team the power to decide• Vary money & scope; hold the date

•You no longer control the stack; All boats float, or sink, based on delivery

• Clock is ticking already

• Change will be routine

The Do List

• In God we trust … all others bring data

• Experiment now … disaggregate today

• Fail first, fail fast, fix it … share with your peers

• Find capability gaps … hire for the long-term

• Add new, small suppliers … you’ll need practice

• Transition will be bumpy … plan carefully
