His example compared hypothetical Marine Corps and Army approaches to eliminating spitting on the sidewalk. Although the example sounds silly the results fall right into place. Once you have a “program” – you get a management team, a MIcrosoft Project plan, some kind of methodology, maybe a dashboard, and worst of all quantatative metrics … and no results. Another colleague once described trying to “innovate of schedule” with having many meetings in the hope we can overcome “the mistakes God made when he invented physics”
