Satisficing, or taking what’s good enough is an approach that deals well with the opportunity cost of perfectionism, helps crystalise business needs, and clears some of the noise around decision-making.

[Can you insert a clock or circumplex here please, divided into 6 equal segments as follows, gap analysis 1-2 weeks, remediation 2-3 weeks, mobilisation 0-1 week, build 2-4 weeks, train1 week, handover 0-1 week].
