In this brief strategic advice segment, the speaker emphasizes the necessity of combining structured programs—defined by clear drivers, milestones, and deliverables—with high agility. While the overall strategic direction should remain constant, the speaker notes that detailed plans must be flexible to accommodate operational imperatives that may reallocate resources initially earmarked for other tasks. The core message is that agility is essential, but it must not compromise the intended end goal.

So you need to have structured programs with clear drivers, milestones, and deliverables, whilst at the same time you need to be very agile. So whilst the direction doesn't change, you need to accept that the detailed plans might change because you will have some operation imperatives which are going to take some resources which were initially allocated. So the keyword here is agility, but agility without losing the, you know, where you want to go.
