Leaders attempting to reenergize an enterprise always face a choice: fix problems before embarking on a new path forward, or forge ahead and do both concurrently. Thanks to the software companies in Silicon Valley that long ago decided to ship imperfect software and then fix it, the choice to do both at the same time is fondly known as “Building the Plane While Flying It.”
I use this analogy all time time to guide my team to push out training programs. I often pair it with, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough. However, I use a boat instead of a plane. Flying a plane before it is ready just sounds too dangerous for me :)
