Deliver value to the customers much earlier and accumlate additional value over time. ------ **Apply a comprehensive economic framework** A set of decision guidelines that align everyone with the financial objectives of a portfolio and inform the decision-making process. ------ **Economic Framework** 1. Lean budgets and guardrails 2. Understand economic trade-offs 3. Leverage suppliers 4. Sequence jobs for maximum benefit --- <!-- .slide: id="systems-thinking" --> # 2 ## Apply systems thinking ------ **The Solution is a System** ------ **Enterprise is a System too** ------ **Understand and Optimize the Full VS** ------ > "Everyone is already doing their best; the probelms are with the system... only management can change the system."
