Second Mover Advantage
How many search engines came before Google? The problem with being a first mover is (1) you have to create everything yourself and (2) you have to convince customers to take a chance on your crazy new product. This article (and this one) pokes a hole in the idea that there’s a sustainable first-mover advantage for businesses. That is, being the first search engine or social networking service did not give those innovators any advantage in the market; in fact, most of those first generation companies are gone (Excite & SixDegrees).

'Wired for Innovation' and the Trouble with business value
In fact, if you have read anything by Brynjolfsson before there is a good chance it was his work on the “productivity paradox.” Firstly the book resolves the “productivity gap”. This was the observation in the late 1980’s that despite all the investment in productivity enhancing IT there was no resulting increase in productivity in the production and GDP statistics. I stopped reviewing books in this blog a while ago but, having said a few words about Domain Driven Design Using Naked Objects last time I want to say a few words about another book I’ve just finished reading: Wired for Innovation: How Information Technology Is Reshaping the Economy .

Why Write Unit Tests?
Focusing on this aspect of testing brings about Acceptance Testing and products like Selenium & Fitness . If you've ever done a google code jam , this is exactly what the bug reports look like by the way.) Why Write Unit Tests? I've made a small video to go with this post Approval Tests have allowed us to focus on the parts of testing at a much higher level of abstraction.

How do you do innovation?
Of course there is one obvious answer: 20% personal projects, its the 3M example – and now Google. Some of these projects eventually make it to full products, like Post-it pads and Google News. Regular readers of this Blog will know I don’t have much time for “big brains”: I don’t believe that the CEO, CTO and a few managers can sit in the boardroom for six hours and come out with a new product. There is a lot of hot air spoken about innovation. Indeed, there is probably more talk about innovation than there is actual innovation itself.

Software people got there first: Wiki’s, blogs
It isn’t all about AJAX and Google maps, a lot of the other technologies that are broadly seen to be in Web 2.0 In fact, when it comes to all these knowledge management tools software developers control the means of production - to use a phrase of Marx. Web 2.0 is having some fallout in the business world.

Don’t bring me your problems, or Appreciative Inquiry to the rescue
Your language becomes full of negative things - “Sales were down”, “Software was buggy”, “Delivery was late” - you loose sight of the miracle that you just shipped a 1,000,000 application, or you sold $1m of product. Actually, a bit of Googling on appreciative inquiry and GTE brings quite a few references so may be a well researched case. Ever since I became Do you ever find out about something and ask yourself “How didn’t I know about that before?” For the last week or so I’ve been reading about the theory and practise of Appreciate Inquiry .
