Script
- Legendary Management Consultant Peter Drucker once said,
Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.
- Effectiveness is the degree to which an enterprise does those activities that result in achieving its goals. In other words, effectiveness is the measure of how an enterprise meets the needs of its clientele or customers.
- On another side, efficiency is the degree to which an enterprise gets the most outputs from the least amount of inputs.
- Let's apply these two measures to someone who needs to get from point A to point B. When this person effective, but inefficient, he goes in a right direction, but very slowly. When this person efficient, but ineffective, he goes fast in a wrong direction.
- Everyone would like to go in a correct direction. The huge question is what direction is correct.
- One may choose to go fast in a wrong direction to find whether it is wrong.
- Fail-fast is a heuristic that encompasses (a) starting work on a task or endeavor, (b) obtaining immediate feedback, and then (c) determining whether to continue working on that task or take a different approach or, in another word, adapt. If an endeavor is not working, it is best to determine that early on in the process rather than waiting until too much money and time has invested.
- Another legendary figure, John Lennon, addressed that problem that way,
Only by trying on other people's clothes do we find what size we are.
- Startup pivot is a concept that startup businesses may drastically change their course. Whatever path someone in a job search takes, he or she needs to be prepared to pivot.
