“A business or product can be understood as the sum of it’s value adding links.”
– Jay Samit
For me, this quote inspires me to daily ask myself, what are your value adding links in my business/product/network?
Why is this an important question to ask?
If you don’t know where you are adding value, you cannot focus your efforts on those parts of your business.
It seems to me that a critical part of a successful enterprise is knowing where you adding value, especially in an age of scarce resources (money, attention, time).
