Baby and bathwater – The Daily PPILL #199

We don’t want to throw away the baby with the bathwater. Get rid of the soiled, unwanted; keep the precious.

This is why most entrepreneurs talk about “the pivot” and not a leap.

A leap means lunging into the void, leaving everything behind, with all your energy; and then not knowing for sure where and how we’ll land.

A pivot is cautious, and is economic. It keeps most of the things in place, hopefully the ones that are valuable, that have taken us a lot of effort to build, and that continue to function. And then, it changes one thing.

Honda pivoted from inexpensive road motorcycles to dirt bikes, IBM has since pivoted from mainframes to PCs, to services, Netflix pivoted from DVDs to online streaming, and now producing content.

The pivot allows us to change, keeping the baby.

(Don’t ask me what the watermelons in the photo are, your guess is as good as mine).

Customer Success and the Layer 8 error (Repeat) – The Daily PPILL #264

In a world where products are increasingly being replaced by services, it is important to understand the role that customer service plays and how it can affect the rate of user attrition. In the XaaS universe, where everything is offered on a monthly payment basis, the only metric that really matters to measure the performance of a company is the...

Lipstick on a pig – The Daily PPILL #259

I was chatting with a Channel Partner's sales person a few days ago. This particular gentleman has been in the business for decades, and probably have seen it all. When we started talking about co-selling with the vendor, the topic of "account mapping" (the practice of finding accounts, that belong to the partner's customer base, that could be a...

Partner Programs as an extension of the Operating Model – The Daily PPILL #249

Most partner programs look alike, and some of them look like they would've been thrown together from whatever was available. But organizations that don’t place enough care in how they design their partner programs may be wasting a huge opportunity to create and lock-in value. One of the fundamental pillars of the strategy of an organization is...

Homes in a development – The Daily PPILL #245

We picked a home in a development. Hundreds of houses. At first, all of them start out the same. Coordinated color schemes, same driveway, same lights. Just grass and a house. As time goes by though, every owner starts to add their own thing. Making their home their own. The patios, the furniture. Perhaps a swing. And little by little,...

Using AI in the Channel – The Daily PPILL #244

What's the best way to make sure that an employee's skills are fully utilized? Most times it is just asking them. So when I posed myself the question on how to use AI in the Channel, that's exactly what I did, I asked an AI. Here is part of the conversation: (These are verbatim cut-and-paste from the Chat GPT interface, except for the italicized...

Quote week: Pushing the envelope – The Daily PPILL #239

I know how it feels. That moment when everything seems to be rolling along. Things getting done without exceptional effort. No major challenges, enjoying sustained relative success. Those times are great. They give us a chance to catch our breath, build some resources, and an opportunity to reposition our stance; but they don’t necessarily make...

Developing winning strategies – The Daily PPILL #229

I have no doubt in my mind, that having a sound strategy that is shared and understood by all stakeholders, and then execute flawlessly, is the way to lead an organization towards success. Yet so many organizations fail to find that winning strategy, or even if they do, plans are not followed through and the effort gets lost. But the...

The best eight books I read in 2022 – The Daily PPILL #225

This may be my last post for 2022. I am planning to use this time to gather my thoughts and prepare for 2023. I am also planning to make a slight change on The Daily PPILL. Most of the feedback I have received from you, is that you like the fact that they are fairly short and that reading them is not something that requires a lot of time or...

Ignore this post – The Daily PPILL #224

According to my new friend, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular subject. But there are three types of ignorance. The first one is totally innocent. It is just a lack of awareness of a situation or fact. The "you don't know what you don't know" That's nobody's fault, most of the time. Then there...

And, roll the credits – The Daily PPILL #219

After the story is told, and the bang-whiz is over, there is this long list of people who were indispensable to make it happen. It is so long, that most of us skip over it and on to the next binge-watching title. In film business, everybody is on the credits. If someone does something well, you'll know their name. If they suck at it, you'll also...

Please, get out of the way – The Daily PPILL #218

Do you know that person, who would be better if they were not trying to help? Yes, the one that messes it up, or just gets in the way of the "real doers". Here is a different take on that. There is this person who I have been trying to reach for weeks. I have persisted, regardless of the cold shoulder, and the silence. I have made all kinds of...

What HR could learn from the services folks – The Daily PPILL #214

Tech Support organizations added, or changed their titles to “Customer Success”. Those who did it without any cynicism, recognized early that there is much more value when an organization focuses in helping customers reach their goals, than just conforming to a SLA, pursuing a certain “up time”. This thinking has allowed services organizations to...

The woman in the X5 – the Daily PPILL #204

It was one of those busy mornings when we just have to run to get something done. On a quiet street, the side of the road I was traveling on was free, but ahead there was a vehicle parked on the other side of road. I could see an SUV approaching the parked vehicle as I was going to pass it. As it is customary around here, I was expecting the...

Skeuomorphic – The Daily PPILL #194

You know that thing that looks like the old version of it? The "radio" app on your smartphone that looks like an old timer radio, with dial and all? Or the eBook reader that turns pages and has a spine and you can see the edges of all the pages? The calculator app that looks like your HP41C? (HP12, if you are more "modern"). Well, there is a word...

Turning into a Soviet – The Daily PPILL #189

Every single one of us is running their own Agitprop. That's the name used for the soviet Ministry of Agitation and Propaganda. It was an entity tasked with creating the official version of the facts, and drown out every other version. In that effort, they would publicize certain facts that made the government look good, while hiding most of the...

Code injection happens to humans too – The Daily PPILL #179

It used to be, that all of us would watch the same show, the same sitcom on a Thursday night.

The media that we consume shapes our thoughts. And our...

The reply all storm – The Daily PPILL #174

You may know by now, that one of the thins I do is pro-bono work advising small businesses and early-stage startups. I do this through an association whose sole purpose is this, and all their services are provided by volunteers, just like myself. In that peer group though, it is more common to find the seasoned, retired small business owner, or...

When you’re on, you’re on – The Daily PPILL #169

There is a lot of lightning in Florida. A lot. That's why the storm a few days back took out some equipment, and it even manged to damage the circuitry inside of a few LED lights. (Did you ever wonder why you need circuitry inside LEDs? The current has to be REGULATED. Connecting a LED straight to an energy source will turn it into a fuse, and I...

Metrics to manage, metrics to measure, metrics to brag – The Daily PPILL #159

These are the basic three types of metrics. There are metrics that help us manage a process, to know if we are on-track or not. The speed on the dashboard. The number of customers we are working on. Our calorie intake. Then there are metrics to brag about, or "vanity metrics". These are the ones that don't really mean a lot, but they sound...

A rumor spreads – The Daily PPILL #154

It started with a rumor. A lie. As many rumors, they were talking behind its back. Accusing it of things that would never do intentionally. And people believed it, and the hatred grew. In the new neighborhood we live in, someone started an oak tree scare. Someone said that the three would break pipes, and break concrete slabs. The rumor spread....

The plan ahead team – The Daily PPILL #149

There are many parallels we like to trace between business and military operations. Some I think are overstated. Most of the time, comparing our rather relatively inconsequential dealings with what our fine men in uniform do, putting their lives on the line, is almost ridiculous and borderline offensive; but there is one military strategy that...

All things equal (they never are) – The Daily PPILL #144

When things are hard to compare, we simplify. So we take a leap, and we utter the words: “all things equal…” It helps us to make a point, to compare one thing at a time, forgetting about all the things that cannot be compared. And point becomes evident, but not for long. Because when we put everything together again, things are once again not...

We don’t meet anybody by accident – The Daily PPILL #139

So goes the saying: "We don’t meet anybody by accident, they are meant to cross our path for a reason". The connotation is almost invariably of a spiritual meaning behind meeting people. But whether we believe in that literal interpretation or not, just putting ourselves in this frame of mind can change our perception. We could approach people we...

Shipping Containers, work, and TCP/UDP? – The Daily PPILL # 128

Some time ago, I was listening to a Fresh Air episode about the global supply chain and while hearing about the extreme complexity of properly orchestrating trans-shipment and to efficiently store each container, it came to mind how this could be used to explain two of the fundamental transport protocols that make the Internet work. If you are in...
