QUOTES:[07:21] “Until a few generations of product back, it was okay that enterprise infrastructure product user experience wasn’t the best.  Now, it is no longer acceptable. Now the user experience of an enterprise infrastructure product really matters. And by user experience, I mean not just the UX but also APIs; the quality of APIs, how easily you integrate it with something else, does it comply with standards that make it easy for other products to be integrated?”[24:31] “We never talk about how internal alignment is as important, if not more, when it comes to innovation. It has to be aligned with the capabilities of the company, the culture, and the operational processes - it has to be aligned with what the new idea is. And more than that, it becomes about people. Does the company have the right people who have done similar things and have the know-how?.”Links We Mentioned:Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996 Follow Pavan Singh https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavansingh/ Work with Crowdlinker: https://www.crowdlinker.com/contact
