My BIG Technology Framework - Free template
As I'm working with a few teams and MBA students with My Big Technology Framework (a thorough technical assessment of what level of maturity and business impact any given technology has), I decided to share the Mural template I use to collaborate with them. It's a

Are you working on 80%-OK or 99%-OK problems?
Another concept I’ve been mulling over this summer is the distinction innovators face between problems that can afford to be mostly solved (80%-OK) before delivering their core value and those that demand near perfection (99%-OK). Take self-driving cars, for instance. Back in 2018, I predicted they’d

🟢 My Big Technology Framework - Part 6. Final insights
For the next few weeks, I'm taking up the challenge of explaining all the mechanisms at play that lead a technological invention to become an innovation in the market. Which is probably more difficult than what physicists do when they try to explain the universe : )

On wicked problems and when 'methods' become dangerous
I discovered a long, fantastically written, and deep article from 2019 on Design Thinking and the story of IDEO from x in 2019. At this point, you're probably bored to death by these discussions, and the few of you still using this methodology have understood its limits and

The difference between premium and luxury goods
I was discussing with a customer in the luxury market what makes luxury "luxury." It's a discussion I always find fascinating as there is no hard definition for this huge economic sector. If you don't mind me going down this rabbit hole, this is

🟢 The remarkable nature of Veblen Goods
The notion of "Veblen Goods" rarely appears, yet it describes products or services with a singular quality. In a nutshell, the higher their price, the higher their prestige and desirability. This phenomenon directly contradicts basic economics, where, as the price of a good increases, the demand for it
