The way you do things now pretty much works.

Still, every now and again the way you do things takes a beating. A problem crystallises a weakness. A demanding customer or investor or partner asks questions for which you only have um-er answers. An x-ray of stress highlights flaws in your systems or processes or assumptions.

It’s a crisis, but crises pass.

Then everything goes back to normal.

The storm is weathered and the way you did things before works jus fine now the sun shines.

And the new normal is the old normal.

Not this time.

Unpack all the tools, lay them out on the table, and figure out what can be repaired, needs special attention or replacing.

If something’s broken, fix it, if it’s bad, throw it out.

Don’t assume everything going to be ok next time.

Skippy Strategy: The sun won’t shine for ever. Fix things now.
