“Learn, study, create a study group. Take the risk and start. Evaluate regularly what is going well and what could be going better. Interact with another organization to see what they’ve done and how they’ve improved. Use this to improve faster and more efficiently than other groups. Just move forward. And don’t be afraid to start and make mistakes. Tell yourself you have enough information: safe enough to try, and good enough for now.” From Yuluka Kankurua: “Trust the purpose, the team and the collective intelligence.”
