In this third part of my four-segment interview with Eric Ries, author of the "Lessons Learned" blog, Eric talks about the concept of continuous deployment and "pivoting." To pivot essentially means to change course. The idea is that companies ultimately zig and zag to success. Eric teaches companies to learn how to develop their judgment so they can make smarter and quicker decisions about changing course before running out of money.
In the interview, I asked Eric to elaborate on a number of articles he has written and contributed to VatorNews.
Here are the articles I refer to in the interview:
Pivot, don't jump to a new vision
The Cardinal sin of community management.
Be sure to watch interview No. 1 and No. 2 with Eric.
Interview 1: Eric Ries on his lean startup awakening
Interview 2: Eric Ries on his lean startup methodology
I keep hearing the word "pivot" over and over again. I find it very interesting that most startups get to success doing something different or even completely different than what they started out doing initially. Loving these interviews with Eric, nice job Bambi.
