What Richard Rumelt actually said

  1. Richard Rumelt Strategy scholar and author of Good Strategy/Bad Strategy…
    Phyllis’s working specification was a deliberate resolution of ambiguity into an actionable description. It was the bridge from “we don’t know” to “we are building.” Her specification passed on to the engineers a simpler problem—not one that was easy, but one that was solvable. With that assumption in place, design work could begin.
