One of the maxims I adopted from a mentor was that good execution of a mediocre idea will beat poor execution of a great idea. So far, it's been true everywhere I look.
We're surrounded with decent execution of horrible ideas.
Meant with all due respect, but.. I think you've got it backwards? Great ideas have no innate value, they're easy to come up with.
Disputable. Many people have many ideas. Just the mass alone diminishes the general value of ideas.
> A poorly executed good idea can easily out perform a well executed bad idea.
Also disputable. For the evaluation, result matters most. And a bad idea which still solves a problem, is better than a good idea which just exists in its own isolated bubble, doing nothing worthful.
The tech-world is full of fancy oversmart ideas and their implementations. Yet many of them fail because neither a good idea, nor some half decent implementation alone have enough worth to survive.
That'd be something I've never seen. Any examples?
