So why do we post that so much?
We talk to you... straight up. Realtime. Just like "thinking out loud". This isn't the way other companies do it. And for good reason.
When we think out loud, we get a response. Often times those responses lead us to a better place. Which = change.
Because we think out loud, you are hearing from us early in the process. Because it is early, it can take some time before products are ready. In that time, the competitive landscape can change. Then we have to change.
Sometimes we are on a path, which we have announced (of course), and we find a better way. That = change.
Many times we announce a product, then realize that what seemed like a good idea... wasn't as good as we thought. Particularly when it doesn't measure up to "our new and better idea". That = change.
If you are a speedboat that never changes its course, you may as well be the ocean liner. Being fast, fluid and flexible means you have the ability to change. And we do.
Everything in life changes. We are just the only ones in this industry that seems to embrace the concept and be proud of it.
Don't let this approach frustrate you. Embrace it. In every instance I can think of, the change was better than the idea or product it replaced.
Now... put your helmets on and expect more change. Like the scorpion... it is our nature.
