The health of an organization’s vision is better measured by its ability to cancel the right projects than to start new ones. Saying yes to a new project is the easy part, what’s hard is making tough & visionary decisions in the service of focus. Superpower if you can do it.

For example, a few years ago we made the painful decision to shut down our robotics project. It was producing great results, but we'd discovered we could move even faster in data-rich virtual domains. Most of that team started working on code, which led to Codex & Copilot.

What would have made the robotics project more feasible? Better hardware? Data ?
