The Plague of Passing the Problem

Beware of problems with your company and product leaking from one department to another.

Great blog debates – Toyota edition

I was really disturbed last week to read in HBR.org Jeffrey Liker’s otherworldly appraisal of the Toyota situation (”The Wrong Lessons From Toyota – And the Truth“.

Silicon Pasture Week: what in hell is Collectivus?

One of the newest projects to emerge from the Silicon Pasture community is Collectivus, currently “a test of a prototype before a beta.” I’ve been playing with Collectivus for a couple of weeks now, and I can say this: it is location and check-in a la Foursquare, only people encounter “thingies”...

Scott Berkun reminds us of the value of learning from mistakes

You may remember my project The Mistake Bank. It’s on hiatus now (isn’t that what broken-up bands say?), and someday soon I’ll be putting up a post on what I learned from that project.
