transform?

1. Forget ideas
Start solving problems

Stop looking for ideas

If your idea failed, it’s
because it didn’t solve an
important problem for a
large enough audience

What problem are we solving
and for who?
What are the basic emotions that problem
and solution are addressing?
What is the overall solution
that would fix this problem?
What are the different functions
a customer would expect this
solution to have?
What could eventually be the
product or service that we are
selling?
What technology is most suited
and relevant to build this?
What are the benefits and
are they strong enough to
have people change their
preference?

2. Involve everyone
Intrapreneurship
CULTURE

FROM
day-to-day
zombification
TO
creating
momentum

Everybody can have your  
“one million dollar”
solution

Imagine that Sony
didn’t let Ken Kutaragi
work on its idea…

Or that Google
didn’t let Paul Buchheit
work on its idea…

In 1975, this Kodak employee
invented the digital camera.
His bosses made him hide it.

You need a culture that
stimulates & rewards
employees to think like
intrapreneurs.

Disproportionate
autonomy
is what people
need to succeed

3. Disrupt your business model
before somebody else does
BUSINESS
MODEL

If we don’t create the
thing that kills Facebook,
someone else will.
“Embracing change” isn’t enough.
It has to be so hardwired into who
we are that even talking about it
seems redundant.
The internet is not a friendly place.
Things that don’t stay relevant don’t
even get the luxury of leaving ruins.
They disappear.

Fast is better than slow.
While slow is adding
unnecessary
embellishments, fast is out

And that means fast can
learn from experience while
slow can only theorize.
Those who ship quickly can
improve quickly.
So fast doesn’t just win the
race. It gets a head start for
the next one.

of digital, fire yourself.
Build an executive team that is digital-

board of directors.
If the board has a low digital IQ,
the company will have a low digital IQ”
