Channel your passion into wins
Great article Sidwyn. I will also add that one thing I learned that stuck with me was Heilmeier's philosophy (from a former DARPA director):
* What are you trying to do? Articulate it using absolutely no jargon?
* How is it done today and what are limits of current practice?
* Who cares? If you are successful, what difference does it make?
* What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
* What are the risks?
* How much will it cost?
* How long will it take?
* What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?

Love it, like the clear communication style. I'll check it out!
Simple but effective. Most times we see an opportunity but we don’t think that reaping an impact from it is just 2 steps away. I like how simple you put the steps, Sidwyn!
Most definitely - it's not too hard once the process is laid out. Thanks Fran!
