"Speed is of the essence", as one of my colleagues argues. I cannot agree more. In a time where technology allows instantaneous and ubiquitous communication, one needs to act fast. In many cases, people like to have everything buttoned up, perfectly analysed, looked from all possible angles, etc. before moving ahead.

Well, that is not needed in many cases. Pareto already showed that “80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes”. Hence, you don’t need to know some or all details to take good decisions. In the spirit of my colleague, I would add to this: "it is better to be 80% right but fast and on time, than 100% right and too late".


Happy Eastern,

What about being fast AND perfect ?
