It’s much more useful to study where the bottlenecks are, when and why new ideas are killed, and who the people are that are killing them.If you have 1000 new ideas a month, but 0 prototypes are ever made from them, what good is another 2000 ideas? It’s much better to study why there is no time or rewards for prototyping and focus on getting that number to go up.

So true, I remember so many conversations about the polar bear book.
