The Tech Strategy Podcast

Amazon, Tencent and When Rate of Learning Becomes a Competitive Advantage (131)


Listen Later

This week’s podcast is about rate of learning as a concept. That is the digital version of what was originally called the learning curve and the experience effect. Rate of learning has gone from an important idea in production-intensive products to a digital requirement. But the key question is when does rate of learning become a competitive advantage? This podcast is my answer.
