oooooph. I just took Bob Sutton’s new Flying ARSE self-assessment test, and I barely threaded the needle between unbelievable perfection and being a borderline arse. It’s a fun little test, and a good reminder that The Brand Called You is but a fragile flower, easily damaged in liminal spaces such as an airliner.
I love the fact that Dr. Robert Sutton, esteemed Stanford tenured professor, is enthusiastically putting up quick and dirty web apps like this, the original ARSE test, and — my favorite — ArseMail. He does them without a lot of drama, ships something quick-like, and then starts iterating them to perfection based on feedback from real users. And he taps a system of connected mavens to spread the word. Sounds like creating infectious action to me. Doing cool stuff and shipping it.
Design thinking and doing, in other words.
Diego,
Thanks for the post. Three is a low score, I scored a four. You taught me a lot of what I know about design thinking, and for better or worse, I seem to be more willing to take risks, and do get less upset by small failures. So thanks!
