The Speed of Change
When you are in the technology, business "change" is an important
topic. A product or idea brought out too early will not result in
change, a "great product" that is not understood, accepted or has a bad
interface will not bring change, a product that you think will sell to
10% of the market that only sells to 1% of the market may not survive
and therefore will not bring change, a product introduced too late will
not bring change. Why do we focus on change? In my case that is an easy
question, the practice of architecture is a great profession with
admirable goals, "firmness, commodity, delight". But traditionally,
architecture has been archaic, error prone, litigation prone, high
risk, and reliant upon a very inefficient, hard to predict construction
processes that result in owners taking over projects with little
information on how to operate and maintain their buildings. For the
last 25 years I have worked to come up with technology solutions that
will result in helpful change.
