			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google innovation chick, Marissa Mayer, says in <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=1524">her stanford show</a> :</p>
<div style="padding: 10px; background-color: #eef; border: 1px solid #bbf">
<ul>
<li><strong>Innovation</strong> &#8211; Not instant perfection. Launch early and often get to the market.</li>
<li><strong>Share everything you can</strong> &#8211; Information is KEY and powerful.</li>
<li><strong>You&#8217;re brilliant, we&#8217;re hiring</strong> &#8211; Hire generalists than can speak to all areas of your organization. Specialists create silos.</li>
<li><strong>A license to pursue your dreams</strong> &#8211; Give people a choice us to where they would like to invest their time and thinking.</li>
<li><strong>Ideas come from everywhere</strong> &#8211; The power of many wins.</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t politic</strong> &#8211; Use data. Consensus of data wins not power or hierarchy.</li>
<li><strong>Creavity loves constraint</strong> &#8211; Stay in the sandbox and focus on direction/output.</li>
<li><strong>Users and usage are key</strong> &#8211; Money will follow.</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t kill projects</strong> &#8211; Morph them. Adjust or tweak and more on.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>I really like what she says even if I don&#8217;t feel very concerned by the two last points.</p>
<p>For me one of the most interesting thing is the 20% time to work on personal projects. It&#8217;s the proof that google trusts their employee to make good use of their time.</p>
<div style="text-align: center">

</div>
<p>This came from a friend&#8217;s powerpoint with the title &#8220;Google applies agile methodology&#8221;. Well, I&#8217;m really skeptical about that. I think it&#8217;s much wider than that. People do not need to apply any specific methodology if they&#8217;re smart and willing to do their work. They&#8217;ll get organized by themselves.</p>
<p>By the way, you should look at the <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/">other Stanford videos</a>. They are really great. It&#8217;s not especially for &#8220;entrepreneurs&#8221; but for anyone willing to learm from other people experiences.</p>
