Wildly Agile Business

(The great web 2.0 bear trap thingie)

Great times for start-ups indeed.

Use low cost and easy to use web apps and communication tools and all you need is a laptop and money for a cup of coffee at Starbucks... (OK, add some for a muffin or two to survive ;)

Cool. Interesting times etc.

But - one laptop and money for a muffin, start-up threshold approaching zero - that translates to a new and wildly agile business world!

And it has just started.

Then find out that this widely used term is very seldom precisely defined, leaving popular (and perhaps faulty) descriptions to thrive. Confusing to say the least.

Imagine a Bigger Market and You'll See a Bigger Market

by: Guy Kawasaki

Scientists in two studies at the University of Virginia discovered that softball players and golfers who had good days perceived balls and golf holes as larger than the players who had bad days. The question is, Did this difference in perception cause the player to have better days or did the day's performance cause the players to perceive the ball and holes as bigger?
