Success Formula
idea + timing + plan x execution
= reaching the target
= reaching the target
idea + timing + plan (set of initial assumptions) x execution ((volume & speed x validating assumptions - failures) + (volume & speed x validating learning based new assumptions - failures)) = reaching the target
The key element of this formula for success is the multiplication between idea, timing and plan AND execution (x) ie. the team and efficiency of processes. If execution is zero, there will be nothing. The higher the execution volume and speed are, the better the likelihood of success is.
