and the slow suffer what they must
TRANSCRIPT
Craig Breedlove ultimately set the land speed record in 1965 in ‘American Spirit’ at 600 Mph. But he needed Jets to do it.
In our search for greater speed we have always had to look outside of the initial technology domain.
It’s only obvious a moment before it happens.
Our search for greater choice has resolved into a search for the fastest way to change our mind or minimize the consequences of poor choices.
Eventually, almost every technology choice turns out to be poor…

When extending or replacing technology is too expensive, we package it to reduce its complexity so that we can make other choices unencumbered.
This is great for technology. But People?
• SPIN: Spin a process to achieve greater speed in one domain.
• SUCK: Embrace the crisis.
• SUCCEED: Extend the process.
