Ännu en intressant bloggpost på Creating Passionate Users om Death by Risk Aversion.

Jag kan inte låta bli att älska de illustrationer som Kathy har! Helt fantastiska! Ta en titt!

Ett par små klipp ur texten:

Risk-aversion is the single biggest innovation killer… … Taking risks is… risky. But if not taking risks is even riskier, then WTF?

… if you’re not doing something that someone hates, it’s probably mediocre.

Hon avslutar med ett gäng allmäna tips på hur du kan hantera riskaversion (utförligare beskrivning i hennes inlägg).

  • Regularly review your sacred cows
  • Regularly review the assumptions behind all your decisions
  • Practice LETTING GO
  • Push the boundaries strategically, one-by-one
  • Use blogs to build support within the company
  • If all else fails and the culture of risk-aversion is stealing your soul, consider going into “short-timer” mode.
  • Keep reminding yourself that life is short!
