“Open platforms and experimental amateurs eventually beat out the spendy, slick pros. Relying on incumbents to produce your revolutions is not a good strategy. They're apt to take all the stuff that makes their products great and try to use technology to charge you extra for it, or prohibit it altogether.” TryingUseStuffTechnologyProduceProductsRevolutionBeatsStrategyExtrasPensPlatformsIncumbentsSlick Author:Cory Doctorow

“People say that ideas aren't important in business. Okay, people say, maybe an idea for a new product, but the rest is all execution, making it happen. Not so.

“Most of the experts agree that strategy will have to become more "adaptive", meaning that strategies will change faster based on information from people on the corporation's front lines - dealing with customers, fending off competitors. This won't represent a new revolution, but rather the continued speeding up of the one that's been going on. Everything will move faster, and competitive advantage disappear more quickly than ever.” PeopleMovingRevolutionAgreeStrategyDisappear Author:Walter Kiechel
“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness — and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling — their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.” IfsShouldBelieveArtIdeasDifferentWarStoriesJoyLiteratureAbilityRevolutionWeaponsShameStrategyLaysNotionRefuseVersionsSellingCorporateEmpiresCollapseSheerOxygenBrillianceMockInevitabilityStubbornnessBrainwashedSiege Book:War Talk Source: War Talk
