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).

Pulling off the Band-Aid – The Daily PPILL #373

Consulting is an interesting role. We go about our lives being somewhat experts at what we do, and we think that we have all the answers. That's why most of us think that doing the same thing as a consultant will be a piece of cake. Having been on both sides of the table, I am here to tell you that it is, actually, a very different skillset. Most...

On Tools and Weapons – The Daily PPILL #371

Hungarians, are the descendants from the Huns. "Barbarians", they called them. So what could be more fitting than this thing showing up in one of the drawers in my Hungarian cousin's kitchen? A hatchet, just like AI, can be either a tool in the right hands, or a weapon in the wrong ones.

Decision making – The Daily PPILL #370

The topic that is occupying my mind lately, is the nature of exponentials and how they play into business. I am working on some long form content, which makes it hard to publish my regular Daily PPILL while I also take care of business. But I thought, why not dig up some of my favorite posts? Here is another one: Making the right decision is...

Momentum, the Unstoppable Force (Repost) – The Daily PPILL #364

16000 trips – The Daily PPILL #359

Most stuff we use wear out as we do. Every single time we do our thing, we leave a little bit of it in what we made. The soles of our shoes wear thinner, the edge of our knife gets dull. But some things get better every time we use them. I rode with an Uber driver the other day who had 16,000 trips. You can be dang sure that this gentleman has...

Embrace the imperfection of models to make better decisions – The Daily PPILL #355

Just to make sure we know what we are talking about, I am referring to a "model" that attempts to mimic somehow the behavior of a system, market, customer, etc. No smoking hot individuals here. Every model is fundamentally wrong. It is a feature of every model. Models start with something as simple as a "rule of thumb" and, through time, they can...

Drummers and platforms – The Daily PPILL #354

What's the purpose of platforms? With so much talk these days around the responsibility of Social Media companies in what their members say or do not say, it is worth looking at what is meant with platforms and what's their reason for existing. I used to play the drums, quite a lot. And drummers know a few things about platforms. They give us the...

Absolute and relative – The Daily PPILL #351

What matters? Is it the actual number? Or is it compared to something? As many times, the answer is, "depends". When we are trying to determine if we reached a goal, if we "made it", we have to go with the absolute number. "Black or white", "night or day"; it has to be clear as that. If we have succeeded on our quarterly goals, we either made the...

Re-post: Less is more – The Daily PPILL #339

In any competitive industry, there's ever-pressing need to improve products and services, and we can get caught in the relentless pursuit of the added feature. But this is not always what the customer wants. I am not referring to the price-sensitive customer who is happy to get the minimum possible as long as she gets a good price. I am talking...

Effort vs. Talent: Figuring out the path to success – The Daily PPILL #331

How many times have you heard "such a talented person"? Some people say there is no talent, there is only effort; that the only way to become proficient, even reach mastery in something, is through sweat and tears, deliberate practice, and with a lot of determination driving you through the challenges. I disagree. There are certain things that...

The balancing act of freedom and accuracy in the Digital Age – The Daily PPILL #326

We love to demonize the press. The "mainstream media". They are out to manipulate us. Some of the more extreme argue that we should just get all our news and information (and therefore facts) from the uncensored, uncurated social media platforms, like Twitter. "Straight from the horse's mouth". I cannot say that there isn't a piece of this...

Back of the envelope calculations – The Daily PPILL #324

You don't need to go deeply into differential calculus or any heavy math to apply one of the Enrico Fermi's most known techniques. Fermi gave us the first nuclear reactor and studied cosmic radiation and spiral galaxies. But the one thing that Fermi gave us that we can use every day is what is called a "Fermi Calculation". Probably not "invented"...

Re-post: Partner Programs as an extension of the Operating Model – The Daily PPILL #309

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...

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...

Whole solution Product-Market fit – The Daily PPILL #299

Can there be Product-Market fit when the Value Proposition of the product (or service) doesn't yet match the targeted underserved market need? Isn't that the whole definition of it? There may be some occasions where this mismatch can be resolved by other means, and I am thinking of the Channel. While the Channel is usually thought about as a way...

The assumptive friendship – The Daily PPILL #286

You know when you are being presented a product or a service, and the next thing you know is that you are giving out your credit card number? It is usually after a transitional question that goes something like: "which credit card would you like to use?". If that ever happened to you, you just been handed an "assumptive close", a technique that...

In 2010, I was attending a photography workshop in New Jersey, and one of the guest speakers said something that applies to almost any other discipline, and that has stayed with me for all these years.

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.

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,...
