"Vision without execution" is getting old too.
What exactly are we calling execution? Is it the fleshing out of the idea into focused executable parts? Because we could also call that part of the idea or the vision.
When I think of execution I think of deliverables. Doing what you intended to do or leaving no stone unturned. That involves thinking things out and doing them. The thinking things out part could easily be part of the idea. You can blame the success of some startups on "the execution", but you can't prove it. The success could also have come from the idea that had the most clarity.
It sucks that we're not always able to picture which ideas will be successful, but that doesn't mean ideas suck.
- rhizome 16y agoExecution on the technical side means implementation, while on the business side it means "finding money." It's as simple as that. Drawings/mocks, blog posts, bantering at bizsocial events, etc. don't qualify. Think of it in terms of criminals. Putting someone on Death Row is not the same as execution.
