I found that this book wasn’t as interesting as I had hoped. It was quite an easy read in that there is based around the disk drive industry, and that makes it feel like one cohesive case study. However I didn’t find the observations that insightful. In essence, the advice is take each innovation/product as it comes, and prepare to learn and be very agile. I would expect that any company that is embarking upon a product that is new in the marketplace would plan on being agile and learning.

That’s why it’s only 3/5 – It’s OK. But not great.

I am listening to the audio CD in my car and on iTunes recently.

Jim bought this for me off my wishlist. Thanks Jim! So far, it looks a lot more promising than that silly “Built to Last” piece o’ junk.
