Bill Gates

Bill Gates

“If you have enough information to make a business case, you're too late.”

Velocity is the name of the game in business. How fast to market? The first with the best wins. Anticipation and vision are key skills in this strategic game. Fast movement with the courage to fail is the wisdom this quote offers. Yes, anticipate failure as well as success. If we wait until all the data is in before beginning we will be passed by. Naturally we will be wrong sometimes. This quote however doesn’t tell us that analysis isn’t necessary or should ever stop. Often, the lesson learned from the last initiative is the core information that allows us to press forward with the next initiative, proving or disproving along the way. The key is that we are moving while doing this analysis. Action!
