<strong>Revealing</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Treasures</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Amazon</strong><br />

<strong>Amazon</strong><br />

Treasure #2:<br />

Don’t Fear New Ideas<br />

Experimenting with new ideas is a critical part of innovation<br />

Risk averse organizations produce crap<br />

Sometimes experiments don’t quite turn out <strong>the</strong> way you<br />

expect<br />

<strong>Amazon</strong> is very comfortable with ideas not catching on<br />

They have clear metrics of success (orders, revenue)<br />

Risk is critical, but you have to minimize it at every chance<br />
