Synopsis

Failing Forward Fast is the book we would like to have had when we started our careers in the Central Intelligence Agency. It describes our transition from recipe followers to practitioners of failing forward fast, where failure and uncertainty are embraced and managed as necessary components of programs. This second edition responds to requests from contractors and government employees for additional insights, including new chapters on decision making, modeling and planning, and the quirks of government program managers. Some of the new subjects include secrets to contractor longevity, the pitfalls of common sense, how to annoy a government program manager, the importance of slumps to long-term success, and the walking dead phenomenon. If you are a government employee or a government contractor, this book will help you accomplish more with the time and effort spent in your day-to-day battle with bureaucracy.
