My old colleague Alex Barnett ponders about Bubble 2.0 as mega deals return to the webosphere. He also offers a top ten survival list for this time around...
- Don't be greedy
- If it sounds too good to be true it probably is
- The internet isn't going away
- Ideas are cheap - it is all about the execution
- Keep thinking - don't auto-pilot
- Get into the profit zone early and stay there
- Introduce business processes early (discipline) but keep them light-weight
- Never ever compromise on the quality of your new recruits
- Make the tough decisions early and follow through fast
- Think like a customer
Alex is now at Microsoft Redmond but back in the UK for a visit. I am meeting him tonight and will be quizzing him about number 6 in light of his MS HQ experiences...
here's once advice I seem to be getting a lot lately - from microsoft and cisco conferences --- you cannot do it alone, know how to partner.
