“Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics.”
So would opine my late husband Ian, former Royal Marine. Simply put, having a brilliant plan is not enough. One must lay out the steps needed to implement it successfully. No tank attack can be effective without factoring in, not only the requisite number of troops and tanks, but also the vast convoy of trucks carrying the tons of ammunition, food, and fuel needed to sustain them. Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine rollout does not work without the design and production of the super-cold containers needed to keep the vaccine at the right temperature and a tightly choreographed delivery schedule. In our just-in-time world, Amazon and similar companies live or die on their logistics.
