Time to Pivot???

Home / Blog / Time to Pivot???

I recently read (well listened) to a book that one of my good friends (thanks Justin) turned me on to. It’s called the Lean Startup. Well, I instantly could relate to the author of this book. He worked in software, was a developer, and had a hard time letting go of his ideas. It hit a little too close to home, to be honest with you 🙂
Well, one of the big concepts he talks about in the book is the “pivot”. This simply is changing what you are doing. Now, this could be as simple as who you market to, or some functionality within the product that is missing or not needed. It could also mean going in a totally new direction.

Right now, I’m taking a hard look at what I’m doing, and realizing, it might be time for a pivot for JaveLLin. I’ve been working really hard, for far too long on my SAP solutions, and I’m just not getting the traction that I expected. So, now the soul searching begins… where would I go next… some of the ideas include a platform independent solution, or maybe walk away from the service world completely. Anyway, I’d love to hear any thoughts you might have… or any good areas to begin looking into. I’m far from done with this endeavor, but I need to be looking to the future. I’d love your thoughts.
thanks for reading,

One thought on “Time to Pivot???

  1. Glad you liked the book! It definitely shakes things up … but it also provides a pretty solid framework for figuring out what to do next. We should grab a (virtual) beer soon and compare notes.
