Hindsight

A few bigger projects and initiatives that had very long development times are done now. It's almost anticlimactic, and a little sad. One or two remain and work remains on them, but in thinking about the few that are complete I'm pondering what might have been done differently or better. The rationale to do this is to that hindsight is 20:20 and foresight never is.

Being a firm believer that we rarely learn as much from our successes (we must have been correct, it was a success after-all), hindsight also grants us the chance to see perspectives and dimensions otherwise invisible to us at the time. It creates an opportunity to learn and therefore do things differently (and better) next time.

As a proponent and passionate believer that we should all be pushing for the 10% advantage, or improvment, hindsight is an essential tool as we move forward from challenge to challenge.
