I once took a group of Pentagon leaders to SpaceX. I watched it nearly break their brains.
Rockets designed, built, and launched on timelines that would give a two-star general a stroke. The secret wasn't a bigger budget. It was one rule: fail fast, learn fast, and never fail twice for the same reason.
At the Pentagon, a mistake triggers a committee. At SpaceX, a mistake triggers a hardware fix by the weekend.
Here's the uncomfortable translation for your business: if your deck takes six months to approve, you already lost — you just don't know it yet. AI didn't slow down to wait for your governance process.
Speed is the only weapon left that still works.
I wrote a whole chapter on why the fast eat the slow now. It's in REPLACEMENT. 👇
