Assuming a specific resource is high cost is often a path to disruption when someone makes a different assumption. ... The disruptor had the advantage of growing slowly (relatively) compared to flipping a switch on a giant installed base. ... One might take away from this case and other examples, that the disruption to watch out for the most would be the one that combined multiple elements of the traditional marketing mix  of product, price, place, promotion. When considering these dimensions it is also worth understanding the full breadth of assumptions, both implicit and explicit, in your product and business when defending against disruption. Likewise, if you’re intending to disrupt you want to consider the multiple dimensions of your approach in order to bypass the intrinsic defenses of incumbents.

Former Microsoft Exec Praises Apple Silicon Endeavor, Calls It 'Most Remarkable'

One of the few things Apple computers had in common with PCs was their Intel processors. But now, with Apple’s shift into homemade silicon, the company’s making a move toward product independence. And Apple’s employees aren’t the only ones impressed with the transition. After Apple announced Apple Silicon at WWDC, countless people commented on the […] https://www.idropnews.com/news/former-microsoft-exec-praises-apple-silicon-endeavor-calls-it-most-remarkable/138494/

Writing is thinking

Steven Sinofsky recently tweeted out this thread where he talks about the virtues of writing in business. His argument: writing is thinking.

Writing is difficult. It takes a lot of time. I’ve been writing posts -- albeit short ones -- on this blog every day for almost 5 years and I can tell you that somedays it is downright painful. Somedays I ask myself: Would I be better served spending this time elsewhere?

It’s much easier to talk, throw down bullet points on a slide, or send out pithy emails. And because, today, we’re all so focused on “agility” and “execution”, it is easy to dismiss writing as being slow and cumbersome. 

But the act of writing is indeed thinking. To write about something you have to wade into the details and actually understand what you’re talking about. It’s far more nuanced.

One of Sinofsky’s arguments is that “execution is in a constant state of diverging as more expertise deals with more details that fewer people understand.” Business becomes “I just know.” Writing can fill in those missing parts.

He goes on to argue that agility is also not mutually exclusive with writing. In fact, when you write, clarify, and collaborate early on, overall execution speeds up because now people get the details and better understand the context.

I’ve mentioned this before on the blog, but my Grade 4 English teacher used to make us write a daily journal. He would tell us that it didn’t matter what we wrote or how long it was, but we had to write something every day.

I did it and I enjoyed keeping those journals, but at the time I didn’t really appreciate was he was trying to get us to do. I do now.

A product that is not differentiated by software, arguably is not differentiated at all.

For all the decades of effort, with few exceptions the ability for a useful UX/UI to transmogrify from one screen size or input method to another has not been realized.
