#big-ideas #precision #problem-solving
Google’s X team specializes in crazy world-altering ideas. They have a principle they use called ==“Monkey First,”== which is a framework used to tackle the most difficult problem first. The “Monkey First” strategy says that if you want to have a monkey recite Shakespeare on a pedestal, don’t focus on the pedestal first and leave the problem of getting the monkey to speak till the end. Breaking this rule will waste time trying to solve problems that may be insolvable now.
