Startup unicorns have grown significantly in the past decade, but economic productivity indicators remain stagnant.
I sit down with Anthony Putignano to explore the connection between venture capital and creative waste in the tech industry. We cover everything from the need for a new playbook tech startups need in order to survive, the democratization of technology, DIY software development, and the challenges of over-engineering. We'll also cover some of the latest hot tech headlines, including the role of social media in job searching, the use of AI in customer service, and the spread of disinformation in the digital age.
By the end, you'll walk away know what the signs of wastefulness in companies are, the importance of focusing on customer needs, the importance of focusing on outcomes rather than credentials, the need for more thoughtful and purposeful innovation and how to do better planning and resource management.
