I recently had a conversation on email with REWORK co-author and 37signals partner David Heinemeier Hansson. That will be the subject of one of my columns for BNET.com later this month, but in the meantime here's an extra in the shape of a question I asked David about planning:
Ian: "I know you guys don’t like long-term plans. But you’ve decided to design your business in a certain way. What guided that process – just raw instinct or something more strategic?"
David: "We rely heavily on instinct. An instinct that has been developed and formed from a decade in business. Some times careful analysis is helpful, but often times you're just trying to justify what your instinct is already telling you. Why not follow that straight from the get go."
