"If, on a graph, the plotted data does not match the
initial hypothesis, make the line fatter."
-- J. Meals
Or, to repeat myself, yes, it's rather easy to come up with these models and tweak them to sell your team|book|conference|etc.
I'm still waiting for an example where such a model predicted something non-obvious.
- RichardPrice 14y agoAn amusing quote, but I don't think Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Pincus, and the CEOs of the other companies are all being deceived by fatter lines on a graph!
- moe 14y agoWell, since you seem reluctant to provide an example, I'll try it with a question: Did Myspace have growth hackers?
- RichardPrice 14y agoReluctant to provide an example? In my comment above I said that all the companies at the conference were examples of effective growth teams. I suggest that we respectfully agree to disagree.
- moe 14y agoExcept I didn't ask for "effective growth teams" but for instances of successful "growth hacking" (where the conclusions were not utterly obvious to begin with).
