I recently read an article that resonated with me titled "Killing Innovation with Corner Cases and Consensus". Key point:
A corner case is an objection that may be:
- technically reasonable
- may have a probability of occurring
- its probability of occurring is lower than your probability of running out of money
Read the whole thing.
James Governor read it and posted "Corner Cases Can Kill Innovation 2: The Big Dogs Are Too Big" which makes an entirely different point:
...the needs of a tiny minority of customers dictate overall product generation, skewing the overall direction of innovation.
The Innovator's Dilemma comes to mind.
