The D-Day invasion was without precedence in size, required incredible coordination & logistics, and involved nearly every category of military forces available to the Allies. What made the D-Day Invasion successful was not only the coordination, logistics, and overwhelming military firepower, it was ultimately leadership, bravery and creativity that made the invasion a success. The D-Day invasion offers several leadership and business lessons that are relevant and useful today.

All I can say is I wonder if landings like D day would have taken place if the planners and top military leadership had to lead the invasion.

Four very good points made. Innovation must be tested is the one I thought important. Often times in manufacturing there is too much pressure to get the product out. R and D often would do an excellent job of set up, but when the lines were run for a full shift, there were problems. Had they done three consecutive shifts of practice, problems with settings could be adjusted to minimize problems.

Civilian business could learn so much from the military, like logistics, organization, time management ... and the military could learn a lot from the civilian world, like fiscal responsibility...
