<p>Great questions Chris. </p>
<p>Lots of people suffer from "paralysis" for implementation. It's hard to put your ideas out there and risk criticism. But, as the writing comment that writers told me: writing a script or book and leaving it in a drawer does nothing. </p>
<p>Looking forward to it tomorrow. </p>

<p>My Contention is that if you break down the "importance" of Idea Vs. Execution - that you end up somewhere around Execution being 70% important. While the strategy (the idea) has to be sound - MOST companies fail because of execution. </p>
<p>So it's very important to get to execution rapidly. That being said - Strategy can and will sink the ship. So my focus will be to explore the minimally viable attributes of the strategy that can be evaluated to understand a go/no-go decision on…</p>

<p>So it's very important to get to execution rapidly. That being said - Strategy can and will sink the ship. So my focus will be to explore the minimally viable attributes of the strategy that can be evaluated to understand a go/no-go decision on Execution (development). The conversation should evaluate: </p>
<p></p>
<p>Market for product</p>
<p>Partnerships/Channels (y/n) </p>
<p>Development effort</p>
<p>Route to Revenue </p>
<p>COGS </p>
<p>etc.. (Whatever else is important in understanding the value of the idea) </p>
<p>How can a team rapidly evaluate these to determine the correct course of action. </p>

<p>So let's take a little deeper dive. Let's say your idea is "technology-based". Every component of your idea includes technology that has already been "validated" or proven. There is ample qualitative research data to support the technology you would use, but research data to support your idea or new form of technological implementation is lacking. Do we rely on proven data and hope that it carries over into a conceptual implementation? Or do we take the next step and build a model which…</p>

There is ample qualitative research data to support the technology you would use, but research data to support your idea or new form of technological implementation is lacking. Do we rely on proven data and hope that it carries over into a conceptual implementation? Or do we take the next step and build a model which will showcase the implementation? How much should demand drive funding support? Do we need to have a clear demand or can we present a hypothetical demand based on the successful implementation of a technically unvalidated model?</p> Steve Martin practically got…tag:georgialearnsnow.ning.com,2021-11-08:6555741:Comment:688372021-11-08T23:37:37.910ZPaul Terlemezianhttps://georgialearnsnow.ning.com/profile/34skzl1mtlumh
