What could you measure What would that cost<br />
How fast could you get the results If you can<br />
afford it, try it. “If you measure it, it will improve.”<br />
Case Study: Logitech<br />
How did Logitech become the fastest-growing technology<br />
company in America Their mouses (mice), trackballs,<br />
and input devices aren’t the best examples of cutting-edge<br />
technology coming out of Silicon Valley, certainly. And<br />
the lack of cutting-edge technology is a key part of their<br />
success.<br />
Logitech succeeds because management understands<br />
that they are in the fashion business. The guts of their<br />
devices don’t change often – but the functionality and style<br />
change constantly. Management isn’t busy trying to figure<br />
out how to innovate a better chip. They are, on the other<br />
hand, working frantically to create a better user experience.<br />
For the frequent user, the impact of a cooler, better,<br />
easier-to-use input device is profound– so profound that<br />
many users are happy to proselytize to their peers. More<br />
sneezing of a Purple Cow. Logitech doesn’t crave more<br />
advertising. They crave more remarkable products. That’s<br />
what their customers want to buy.<br />
