Traditional businesses are increasingly threatened by disruptors that are more customer-centric and adaptable. To succeed, companies must adopt a "good for now" approach of continuously testing ideas with customers, learning quickly from failures or negative feedback, and pivoting as needed. This involves skills like design thinking, building prototypes, customer validation, and metrics testing to rapidly iterate products and ensure they meet customer needs. The goal is to start with the smallest viable product and stay focused on delivering value for the customer throughout the development process.
