Of course, once you get all your ducks in a row, you may also need to peel the onion to see what is coming down the pike. Sometimes there are issues that need to be put on the front burner, too, to help shorten the launch curve. You really have to think outside the box in todays corporate world. After all, its important to hit the ground running so you can get more bang for your buck.
If youd prefer, we can have a sidebar or table this for later. :)
