An idea is a base quantity. A bad idea maybe worth 1, a good idea 10, a great idea 100. But execution is a multiplier. Good execution is a 10x. Great execution

An idea is a base quantity. A bad idea maybe worth 1, a good idea 10, a great idea 100. But execution is a multiplier. Good execution is a 10x. Great execution is a 100x.
An average idea with excellent execution is worth a lot more than a great idea with poor execution.
- _dps 5y agoThis model circulates a lot but I haven't understood why; it literally treats them as the same thing. The model is outcome = idea x execution So both are "multipliers" in the language of the model. The formula is completely symmetric in the two quantities.
- thunkshift1 5y agoMy two cents: a good idea is 1, A great idea is also 1. It doesn’t mean jack till its usable. So it would be more like - Good idea (1) x good execution(10) = 10 Great idea (1) x great execution (100) = 100 Ex: my great idea is that faster-than-light travel will REVOLUTIONIZE HUMANITY! Of course I’m an idea guy, so I cant be bothered with physics and engineering and special relativity and all that riff-raff. Let a specialized team figure that out. But hear me out - this is a BRILLIANT IDEA when finished. (That’ll be 100M seed funding, thank you very much.)
- kthejoker2 5y agoMaybe it's more (idea+1.000001)^execution - 1? * Without execution, an idea is worth 0. * Even without an idea, execution has value - go schedule a 45 minute meeting with a smart person with no set topic and something will happen. * Execution is infinitely more effective than ideas at producing value.
