If you focus on successful cases, you’re getting it wrong. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll learn something. But, if only 1 out of 10 makes it to the riches, you’re leaving 90% of the learnings on the table. You can learn something of any project. Things that went OK. Things that went badly. Things that went really badly. Things that you did right. No questions why there are so many people looking for the next uberization of something.

They took people to a forest. Then they gave them a simple instruction: “Walk in a straight line.” That’s it. No MBA. No strategy deck. No 147-page governance framework. Just walk straight. C’mon you can do it! Several participants were convinced they had done...
There is a famous story about President John F. Kennedy visiting NASA in 1961. While touring the facility, he met a janitor mopping the floor. Kennedy asked him what he did at NASA. “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” Beautiful… Maybe too beautiful to be true. But who cares… the point is brutal. Now, no question how, a few years later, NASA sent three men to the moon using computers weaker than my kid’s lullaby machine. One team. For real. One objective. For real. Not because of an org...
