Stress comes to us all in tiny little assaults throughout the day — the problem is that most of us believe it has to be this way. hbr.org/2020/07/dont-l…

What so many companies get wrong is falling in love with their product and trying to sell it to the demographic that should want it. How about, instead, focusing on what customers are struggling to get done and helping them solve that problem? #ClayChristen #jobstobe done

@AmyCEdmondson Congrats, Amy!

@sarbjeetjohal Seems like yesterday we were sitting down to chat! Always so good to share ideas with you @sarbjeetjohal!

A THOUGHT PROVOKING blast from the past: My fireside chat with @KarDillon about her book PROSPERITY PARADOX in Boston, 2019. his post is especially for those who think Cloud’s cost is almost like a crime. It’s not, it’s just a better choice for so many, at least so far… 😊. Example Karen gave shows that people are not stupid or morally inferior, they just want a solution which fits their needs the best. This whole idea is closely related to THEORY OF JOBS TO BE DONE from Harvard Business Sccool as well. I know @ajassy is a big fan of it, rightly so! Karen co-wrote 3 books (including this one) with #ClaytonChristensen, an American academic and business consultant who developed the theory of "disruptive innovation", which has been called the most influential business idea of the early 21st century. @Harvard @HarvardBiz @Craw @tcrawford @matteastwood @dvellante @cloudpundit @furrier @psalvitti @BillMew @om @EdLudlow @jonfortt #Economics #Growth #Psychology #Friction #Policy #Regulation #Anthropology #Innovation #Cloud #AI

Loved talking with @AineKerr about microstress--and what a great show overall. Here's hoping we helped a few people. :-)
