In
The Intelligence Edge,
the authors state that business people should be able
“to recognize old and unprecedented patterns,
and know how to take advantage of each.”
Knowledge of history is a huge part
of both intelligence gathering
and new product development.
Knowing what worked and
what didn’t work in the past
guides future decisions.
Take the time
to study the history
of your product and industry.
Knowing the history of any product or industry also makes those decisions alot easier to make.
