Count a hundred years, and Craig J Venter will be in the pantheon of the people who had the most influence on the planet. Watch his video at TED.

An amazing quote - by either Seth Godin or by Arthur C Clarke. In any case.. it’s something to remember when designing a product, service etc…

The original idea should feel so real that people believe in it.. Then even if you don’t completely make it real, people will live in the experience..

This idea isn’t new! Movies and Plays have done it for ages, and most recently, Second Life proving quite conclusively that - as we move from an age of Solutions to an age of Experiences, feeling real may be as good as being real…

Now where’s my avatar when I need it?

This is the guy who brought Amazon back… and he’s awesome

What an incredible man and presentation!

This idea is loosely borrowed from the extreme programming paradigm of software development.

Essentially the idea of planning in Extreme programming is - Just plan the next step, Then execute, Learn and then Refine the plan. This saves time and cost.

I have a brief suggestion:

No matter what kind of project planning you do, whether extreme or “normal big bang” planning, After you finished your work on any stage.. Go back to your planning and update the plan with what you actually spent in terms of resources and time. The next time you have a project that includes these elements, you can copy paste the relevant sections of the “executed plan”, and have a more realistic idea of how things will unfold..

A side benefit - you know who you want on your team the next time around as well if you do this.
