Is it possible to pivot from failure to success without changing the concept at all? No, you have to kill your darlings to become successful.
It can appear in the pivot that only one specific part of the concept is successful, so focus on that part and let the rest go.
It’s not useful to put energy in multiple ideas if you don’t have the resources for it. You have to focus on one and change your product in to that direction.
As for Slack, the product was created out of a need that arose when working on something else. A first sign that there is a market for your product.

How do you prepare your company for disruptive technological innovations in the market?
You need to ensure competitiveness of your current business while simultaneously preparing for the future. By improving the health of the current business, you gain resources to invest in your competitive position. You have to be prepared to adjust your plans for the future, to constantly improve your position and take advantage of upcoming changes. Innovating should include small day to day improvements that make your customer lives easier.

A common mistake when implementing a digital transformation is plainly hiring a digital expert to lead the way. A better choice could be to appoint a company insider with a proven track record. The insider has understanding of the business, checks the needs of the company and keeps customers demand in check.

Insiders are willing to learn and they understand what they don’t know, this results in a solution where digital serves the business, instead of viceversa.

What is the Serverless Doctrine? Providing a simple way to look at an application/organisation and determine its serverlessness. The main takeaways of this article can be summed up to be:
1: Strife for zero ownership of servers and instances. Configure, Consume services, change the specs to it fit. Only own systems, when the workload is a business critical process.
2. Prioritize minimization of application management over short term development budgets.
3: Scaling from nothing-to-all (and vice-versa) should always be possible in applications. Develop with recoverability in mind, not debugged software.

Node1 is getting a social media re-haul! Next to our content shared by Digital Waves, we want to share bi-weekly updates on Digital Transformation trends in our current sector. What would you like to hear?

Today we start of by an interesting HBR article about that digital doesn't imply disruptiveness. Technology is not the solution, and should be a tool for a client. Therefore, we believe that transformation projects can be as much human as technical. By exploring the context of each unique company, a tailored approach for becoming future-ready can be given.
