Agile, Digital & the new business paradigm/heuristics
summary
Claim: the digital revolution is driven by Moore’s Law plus cheap CPU cycles and therefore agile is the process that matches digital. Evidence: transistor counts go from thousands to billions, IBM 360 rentals cost ~$250k in 1970 vs tiny Raspberry Pi costs now. Examples: John Deere buys a Silicon Valley algorithm firm for self‑driving tractors; Rentokil uses IoT rat traps; Estonia enables 24‑hour company registration (and fraud). Prescriptions: plan less, release more and build a machine that can iterate while merging biz and tech.
