  3. A Campaign • Coordinated Operations Against One Or More Centers Of Gravity To Create System Change Leading To Future Picture Realization • Carried Out In Accordance With Strategic Decisions On Center Of Gravity Impact Plans • Limited In Time And Scope • Agreed-In-Advance Termination Points • Normally Needs Multiple Resources: People, Equipment, Logistics, Information, Money • Executed By A Team That Owns Centers Of Gravity And Is Responsible For Producing Desired Effects • Will Probably Not Fit Within A Single Organization Unit • Will Have A Campaign Director ResponsibleFor Results • Permitted and Encouraged To Make Decisions

  4. Campaigns • One To Five Campaigns Make Sense For Most Initial Prometheus Efforts • System Centers Of Gravity Divided AmongstThe Campaigns • The Campaign Teams “Own” The Centers Of Gravity And Are Responsible For Realizing Desired Effects • Even If A Team Needs Help Or Resources From Another Team Or Entity • Campaigns Preempt System Opposition • Break Elastic Limits • Create High Probability of Success • Unify People Across Disciplines and Boundaries • Make Dynamic Change Manageable • Permit Strategically Aligned Parallel Operations

  5. Orchestration • Ensuring That The Right Things Happen At The Right Time To Produce External And Internal System Change • Campaign Activity • Non-campaign Activity • Reducing Or Eliminating Non-essential, Non-strategic Activities • Legacy Work • Balkans

  11. The Campaign Orchestrator • Responsible For Coordinating All The Campaigns, Assuring Resources Available, And Ensuring Decisions Are Made Fast • Could Be CEO Or COO • But Must Be Someone Who Is Available In Real-Time • And Who Will Be Entrusted To Act First And Ask Later

  12. Align Incentives • Reward People For Results,Not For Effort • Align Incentives For The New Organization • Align Incentives To Match The Prometheus Methodology • Campaigns • Three Down Communications • Based On Results, Not Head Count

  13. Fast Fail • Errors In Assumptions, Planning, And Execution Are Likely • The Market Does Not Develop As Rapidly As Anticipated • External Events Can Foil The Best Plans • To Err Is Human, To Persist In Error Is Stupid • Adopt And Follow A Fast-Fail Approach • Consider Exiting When You Slide Into The Time Value Of Action Serial Domain And Success Is Not Genuinely Imminent

  15. Maintain and Use ReservesTo Make A Difference • Forces and Assets Withheld Or Ready To Be Made Available For Employment At A Critical Juncture • Availability Reduces Risk Significantly • Employment of Reserves Should Make Fundamental Change In A Situation • Battle of Britain (Air Chief Marshall Dowding’s Use Of Reserves Despite Opposition From Winston Churchill) • The Unexpected Tour Bus At The Fast Food Restaurant • Can Be Used To Reinforce Success Or To Check Failure • Battle of The Bulge • Failure to Maintain Reserves Frequently Fatal • France –June 1940 • Hewlett-Packard Kittyhawk Project
