Execution – where the idea actually sees the light of the day.

Noticed that? I said three phases but listed two. We always miss this one. Between Idea and Execution is Convincing – a phase where we influence other catalysts to buy in to your idea. Convince them that it makes sense to experiment. Only then can the execution even start. Click Here to Read Article …
