“What is Alphabet? Alphabet is mostly a
collection of companies. The largest of which,
of course, is Google. This newer Google is a
bit slimmed down, with the companies that are
pretty far afield of our main internet products
contained in Alphabet instead. What do we
mean by far afield? Good examples are our
health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the
glucose-sensing contact lens), and Calico
(focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we
believe this allows us more management
scale, as we can run things independently that
aren’t very related.”

24. Fostering Innovation @ Google
Intersection of great people, creative environments and technology
25. Innovation can’t be ordained.
However, you can create an environment where it will
evolve organically
26. "You have to have the
culture, and you have to
get it right."
"The story of innovation has not
changed. It has always been a
small team of people who have
a new idea, typically not
understood by people around
them and their executives."
Eric Schmidt, Chairman, Google

Pre-to-typing → Palm Pilot
Pretotyping is a way to test an idea quickly and
inexpensively by creating extremely simplified,
mocked or virtual versions of that product to
help validate the premise that "If we build it,
they will use it."

Build, Launch, Measure and Iterate
Build

Measure
Measure ‘it’ don’t humanize ‘it’
“Dogfooding”
Be honest. Be brave. Be decisive.
Release train departs regularly.
Every feature launches.
Ready or not. Off or on!
PRE-TO-TYPING:
Make sure you are building
the right ‘it’ before you
build ‘it’ right
TESTING:
Be a learning organisation.
Every opinion is a hypothesis.
Test every hypothesis.
Measure everything.
Beware of HiPPOs.
Don’t fear failure.
Failure is learning.
