Can you guys help me to explain the meaning of the word 'MOMENTUM' in this context? I did check the dictionary but still cant understand.
“Well, with all due respect to Silvia, I completely disagree. I think we have to implement the new system very fast to get the ‘MOMENTUM’ we need. I think three months is too long, in fact”
Thanks so much for your time and kind help!

Vietnamese idioms and words that are often said wrongly
1. “ƯỚT NHƯ CHUỘT LỘT” (Wet as a shredding rat) should be "ƯỚT NHƯ CHUỘT LỘI” (Wet as a paddling rat)
We often use the idiom “ƯỚT NHƯ CHUỘT LỘT” (“wet as a shredding rat”) to refer to the condition of being soaking wet in a thunderstorm, but have you ever stopped to wonder what the hell a “chuột lột” is? “Lột” translates to “shred”, or “peel a layer off forcefully”, but that can’t be applied here as rats don’t shred.
That’s because the correct word should be “lội” (paddle), not “lột”. “Wet as a paddling rat” makes much more sense if you imagine how a rat might swim.
Ví dụ: Hôm nay Hà Nội mưa to quá, Khi lái xe máy tới công ty, em ướt như chuột lột (today Hanoi has a big rain, so I am 'ướt như chuột lột' on the way to the company) :(
