Podcast: Resource Constraints Impact On Innovation
Dateline: Sunnyvale, CA
Segment 1: Resource Constraints
We all get caught in a "rut" when it comes to our thinking
- what customer want
- how long will it take to complete the project
- how many people will it take
- how much will it cost
By forcing constraints, you can force the team to change its assumptions
- Bring focus
- Forces to look differently at the options
- Search for alternatives that fit within th constraints
Challenge the team
- Define a budgt constraint
- Place a constraint on the team size
- Set a deadline
Segment 2: Killer Question

- How could I cut the development time in half?
- How can I deliver the industry leading value chain for 50% less?
Segment 3: Closing Thoughts
"A foolish consistancy is the hobgoblin of little minds." Ralph Waldo Emerson
