I always bristle at this. Nobody does something without some semblance of a plan. It's what connects each action to the next. Especially in an organization, momentum is a thing. The tendency to contribute critically instead of originating (applied game theory), is a thing^. Edison, Ford, et al didn't wait to figure out the right thing. They did something with a vision. Often times waiting around for something that feels right instead of brainstorming wireframes, is the wrong choice.
^Is there a term for this yet?
