I donno. Most great ideas fail and success rate is mostly dependent on execution. That is why I believe execution gets more weight than idea no matter how great the idea is.
A great idea with bad execution = failure
A mediocre idea with bad execution = failure
A super bad idea with bad execution = failure
However, you can take a semi bad or mediocre idea and execute the heck out of it = success.
So I would look at the success numbers. "far far more valuable" is too subjective. Using your example, I personally wouldn't get into an unreliable vehicle but a faster horse that I know for sure works.
- sombremesa 5y agoWhat is execution? It seems that in some way, it's analogous to success itself. If you make apparently terrible decisions but your business succeeds despite you, would anyone really call that bad execution? If good execution equals success, then is it helpful to know that good execution equals success?
- codegeek 5y agoI define execution as "doing something every day to keep making progress". It could be hiring someone, write that one small piece of code, creating a landing page or marketing content, talking to that customer, reaching out to a prospect, solving a problem for the team etc etc. Anything that is a step towards possible success. It is not a binary thing. Sometimes you do things that has a bad outcome. But if you do it over a long period and keep doing it with lessons learned and you succeed, that is execution.
- sombremesa 5y agoHow does this type of definition apply to something like Flappy Bird? Would you call that poor execution?
