- So what’s a monkey in space? Moonshots can change the world, but you can’t jump to the end. Before you can put a man in space, you need to put a monkey in space and doing so allows you to learn The entire space program as a series of events that was built on the success and failures of the projects that came before them X-15, Mercury, Gemeni and then Apollo Before we could put a man in space we had to prove that we could put a monkey in space. The space race, like innovation, was totally new territory. What they set out to do had never been done before and the stakes were very high. They needed a way to learn and to mitigate risk This is a key concept, especially with lawyers…remember that they don’t want to take risks. Risk mitigation is a necessary part of legal innovation…monkeys, or smaller controlled projects and/or tests are a way to mitigate this risk
- And so NASA Tested Run through the names of the monkeys and the dates they died on Most of the monkeys survived the flight but did not survive the landing Yorick successfully flew into space and survived the Landing on Sept 20, 1951 These flights and others, success and failures educated the NASA and allowed them to iterate….editing is something that already exists is so much easier than creating…you have to be able to start…the monkeys gave them that permission Monkeys gave Nasa the organizational courage to continue on
- SO we all know what happened, we landed on the moon…Neil hopped off the Eagle and landed on the surface of the moon. But what I always find so interesting is that there were so many other things that were created along the way…amazing spin off technologies that were invented or refined or made possible by the space race This is something I think about a lot….you never know what you will find or create when you set off to build something…be looking for those spinoffs…
- Failure is the best teacher…let me tell you about some of our failures We created a group of hybrid analysts that analyze processes and have the tools and skills to analyze legacy process and build apps and new process to support them. This has been a fantastic success for us….except here’s the problem… we weren’t sure if it was going top work and now the demand is through the roof…we can’t build them fast enough. Additionally, and this is more troublesome, our organization was not set up to support these all these apps. We don’t want the builders to have to support them as they are busy building, so now we need to figure out some creative solutions for keeping the lights on and adding feature requests. We have another project where the initial “test flight” of the application was successful. As we began to scale up with increasing complexity we have learned that the design and possibly the platform cannot support what we need. So we are currently deciding next steps on this….we rolled this to a very small group of users, and they love it! If we had rolled it to everyone, we would have been a much bigger mess,, losing credibility and money at a much larger scale
