What to Make of Amazon’s Work Practices?

What to Make of Amazon’s Work Practices?

By Mark Suster on August 17, 2015

There is much discussion about this weekend’s article in the NY Times regarding Amazon’s work practices. People seem polarized between, “that’s what it takes to succeed” to “I can’t believe what a heartless, intolerant and misogynistic company culture they’ve built.” I’ve heard the gamut from reading opinions online and even hearing the debate in circles […]

Focus On Your Customers And Not Competitors

By Chirag Mehta on October 1, 2014

A lorry is a symbol of Indian logistics and the person who is posing against it is about to rethink infrastructure and logistics in India. Jeff Bezos is enjoying his trip to India charting Amazon’s growth plan where competitors like Flipkart have been aggressively growing and have satisfied customer base. This is not the first […]

10 examples of fabulously flawed product-first thinking

10 examples of fabulously flawed product-first thinking

By Hutch Carpenter on November 5, 2013

In talking about jobs-to-be-done here, I sometimes think that all I’m doing is stating the obvious. I mean, isn’t it obvious that you’d create something that helped fulfill a need or desire?

HP’s Cloud: The Giant Ship Lost its Way

By Ofir Nachmani on January 9, 2013

HP stands still, not taking the initiatives and real risks expected of a true industry leader. At the Discover conference, I learned why some companies don’t last and why this IT giant is at risk of losing in this new era IT battle.

Objectively Inconsistent

Objectively Inconsistent

By Chirag Mehta on December 18, 2012

During his recent visit to the office of 37 Signals, Jeff Bezos said, “to be consistently objective, one has to be objectively inconsistent.” I find this perspective very refreshing that is applicable to all things and all disciplines in life beyond just product design. As a product designer you need to have a series of […]

Innovation Culture Eats R&D for Breakfast

Innovation Culture Eats R&D for Breakfast

By Hutch Carpenter on October 27, 2011

Research and development is a mainstay of the innovation strategy for companies. And with good reason. R&D can invent new products and technologies that redefine markets. Think electricity, telephones, airplanes, semiconductors, the Internet. R&D can pave the way for whole new industries. Exciting, for sure! But there’s a problem. Too many companies treat R&D as […]

Understanding Changes in the Software & Venture Capital Industries

Understanding Changes in the Software & Venture Capital Industries

By Mark Suster on June 28, 2011

Specifically, Amazon has changed our entire industry in profound ways often not attributed strongly enough […]
