"Scale immediately or fail slowly. There is no middle ground."- Futurist Jim Carroll

We are on Day 15!

You’ve listened to the edge (Day 13) and filtered out the hype to find a real structural signal (Day 14).
You have identified a real trend!

Now, you face the moment where most legacy organizations fail.

People often talk about something called "pilot purgatory," and the fact that people and organizations get stuck there. It's the tendency to test or trial a new idea - and then get stuck there, never moving beyond the testing or 'pilot' phase. Yup, it's a form of purgatory!

Let's put the challenge in context. For years, I have advised leaders to follow a simple, powerful mantra for innovation in a fast world: Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast.

Most organizations are pretty good at the first two. They "think big" in strategy sessions. They "start small" with innovation labs and proofs-of-concept.

But they completely fail at the third and most critical step: scale fast. They end in a state of perpetual experimentation where they run dozens of small, safe tests that generate interesting things - but never make it out of the starting gate. And in doing so, they mistake motion for progress - they believe that the mere fact that they are testing a bunch of things means they are making progress.

They aren't.

Here's the problem - in a linear world, you could slowly roll out a new initiative over two or three years. You had the luxury of all the time in the world.

But in an exponential world, that doesn't work. You are surrounded by the problem of legacy - existing processes, IT systems, organizational sclerosis, and bureaucratic inertia designed to keep doing things the same way. That means to move fast, you need more effort than ever before - because in this new fast world, you need to move instantly from a "safe experiment" to "massive deployment."

The discipline to do that? Let's call it! Escape Velocity.

I have been covering the issue of velocity and scale for years. When I look back through my own archive of blog posts, keynotes, and Daily Inspirations, I see a clear pattern of organizations that understood how to achieve this momentum. But some did.

Learn what they did differently!

Futurist Jim Carroll has seen way too many organizations stuck in a state of perpetual pilot purgatory.

Open air food factory. Weighing in peas. California

California is a state in the Western United States that lies on the Pacific Coast. It borders Oregon to the north, Nevada and Arizona to the east, and shares an international border with the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. With almost 40 million residents across an area of 163,696 square miles (423,970 km2), it is the largest state by population, third-largest state by area and the largest state economy in the U.S., with a GDP of approximately $4.1 trillion.

This is a black-and-white photograph depicting a group of workers in a large agricultural field. The image shows a group of individuals engaged in harvesting or agricultural labor. They are wearing hats and long sleeves, which suggests that they are working in the sun. Some workers are holding baskets, likely collecting the produce they are harvesting. In the foreground, a scale is visible, indicating that the produce is being weighed, possibly for trade or quality assessment. The background features an expansive field stretching towards a range of mountains under a clear sky. The overall scene reflects a rural and labor-intensive agricultural setting, likely from an earlier era given the style of clothing and equipment. The image is labeled with a code at the top right corner, which might be a catalog or reference number for the photograph.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a moment of manual labor. In the foreground, there is a scale with a round white face on it, indicating that it is being used to measure weight. A man stands next to the scale, actively involved in the task at hand. Behind him, two other men are engaged in loading or unloading goods into barrels or crates. The environment suggests an outdoor setting, likely a farm or warehouse, with visible structures and machinery in the background.

The text on the image reads "© 2018 - JAMES OWENS PHOTOGRAPHY" indicating that James Owens took this photograph in 2018. The use of black and white photography adds a timeless quality to the scene, suggesting it could be from any era when such manual labor was commonplace. The people in the image are dressed in clothing typical for agricultural or industrial work, with one man wearing a hat, possibly for sun protection.

The focus is on the human interaction with the scale and the physical task of loading/unloading goods, which gives the photo a sense of narrative and storytelling about labor and industry. The absence of color allows the viewer to focus more on the composition and subject matter rather than distractions from colors within the scene.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017771725/

The image is a black and white photograph capturing an outdoor scene. It features multiple individuals engaged in what appears to be manual labor, likely related to agricultural activities. In the foreground, there are two men standing next to each other; one is positioned slightly ahead of the other. They seem to be working with or around wooden crates, which may contain goods for transportation. Between these two men, a scale with a weight on it can be seen, suggesting they might be measuring the quantity of items.

In the background, there are additional figures who are also involved in the work, and several individuals appear to be standing or working around wooden structures or materials. The setting seems to be an outdoor area under clear skies, as suggested by the shadows cast on the ground. There is no visible text within the image. The photograph captures a moment of manual labor and teamwork, typical of agricultural work or perhaps construction, with a focus on the scale in the foreground.

Tracking Progress Beyond the Scale ⚖️

The scale measures only one thing your total body weight but it cannot capture the full story of your strength, your physique changes, or your internal progress.

1️⃣ Strength Numbers That Keep Rising

2️⃣ Body Measurements Tell the Truth

3️⃣ Progress Photos Capture Subtle Changes

4️⃣ Energy, Confidence, and Daily Strength
