Over the last few days I’ve learned some things about how to devise a plan for complex issues in challenging times –

• Move quickly but not recklessly – there is a difference
• Be clear about what you are trying to solve – do you have an issue, anticipating one, preventing one?
• What does the data tell you? Does your solution need to accommodate a breadbox, a wheelbarrow, or a tank?
• What are the factors you need to pay attention to that fundamentally change the plan? Who is monitoring those factors closely?
• Can you buy or borrow? Can you mirror an idea and duplicate it?

• Quickly narrow down your options, focus your attention and energy

Lay out a timeline of multiple options that are deployed based on decision criteria you establish right from beginning

Monitor your emotions (and the emotions of those around you) – don’t operate from a place of fear or panic

Use time and resources wisely even when under pressure to just get it done
