When Jim was retiring from Akamai, some folks go together to document his Jim-isms. I've highlighted my favorite ones from the list...
There's numbers you look up (Accounting), and numbers you make up (FP&A)
It's probably not our finest hour
Hope is not a strategy
We need to have a regular cadence to review this data
Two data points don't make a trend
I am pleased... but not satisfied
Make me proud
All ropes need to touch the ground (so many years later... this yet doesn't make sense to me)
Interrogate the numbers till they confess
Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into
Trust, but verify
If that is a priority, ok... but the size of their envelope cannot increase
Live to fight another day
Don't let go of the last vine till you are holding on to the next one
Precision does not equal accuracy
Thanks. Just a few more things (followed by a list of 10 more things)
