Mechanics of exit strategies

An exit strategy is a means of leaving a current situation, either after a predetermined objective has been achieved, or as a strategy to mitigate failure. Any organisation or individual without an exit strategy is considered “in quagmire” and is generally seen as untrustworthy. 
At worst, an exit strategy will save essential personnel and resources from being expended or unrecoverable.
At best, an exit strategy will deliver an objective worth more than the cost of continuing the execution of a previous plan deemed to fail by weight of the present situation.
