Strategy Series: Do not sweat the details; or take a risk and embrace change

I was originally going to be inflammatory and title this “Details don’t matter”, but at the last minute I walked it back. This topic is consistently a pile of hot garbage. Why? Many reasons. Because technical people are, in general, extremely detail focused, and often binary minded (right/wrong, black/white, yes/no, 1⁄0). Because of this, a great many times we as technical people can hyper-focus on the details, especially when change is on the table.
