The 6P’s in action

I don’t normally forward the sort of stuff we circulate to our friends and associates as part of our lighter reading, relaxation and entertainment. However, this is such a fantastic example of the 6P’s that I do want you to put aside just six minutes to watch it.

It’s the story of how NASA got a probe to Mars and demonstrates that proper preparation prevents pretty poor performance or, better still, that perfectly proper preparation produces perfect performance.

To get such a small object so far with pinpoint accuracy and perform perfectly over such an incredibly long time meant everybody in the team had to do whatever they had to do exactly right. One slip, one short coming, one mistake could have meant a hugely costly failure.

This is worth showing to every member of your team. It’s an out of this world fantastic effort!
