The document discusses strategies for successfully deploying IPv6 despite competing priorities. It recommends having a business case, management champion, and execution framework. Specifically, it suggests focusing on lead measures like time spent researching IPv6 instead of lag measures like traffic percentage. Maintaining a scoreboard and weekly accountability meetings can help drive execution. Applying the "4 Disciplines" approach of focusing on the important, leveraging lead measures, maintaining engagement, and ensuring accountability can help solve resource and execution problems to ultimately deliver a successful IPv6 deployment.

The real problem: which gets attention?

1. Big client site down
2.Border router CPU
spiking
3.Install fibre link to IXP
1. IPv6 research/self study
2.Create IPv6 address plan
3.IPv6-audit border router
The “real” work is always URGENT. IPv6 is merely IMPORTANT

The 4 Disciplines to fix execution failure
1. Make IPv6 deployment wildly important
2. Act on the LEAD measures
3. Keep a deployment scoreboard
4. Create a cadence of accountability

Examples of Lag Measures
Increase percentage of our IPv6 Internet
traffic from 1% to 50% by 31st December 2016

Grow the revenue from IPv6-supported
services from $0.00 to $5m per annum by 15th
May 2017
Activate IPv6 on 100% of our public-facing
infrastructure and services by 31st Dec. 2016
