Hey Niels,

Fully agree, in this time of troubles, the answer is not to compromise but to make decisions. I rather spend the money on a few great products than to spread it on double that number.

Hi DT,

I especially agree with number two: “Make fewer products”
Although this should be a continuous process, companies are forced the reconsider their portfolio. I think can also see this happening. Companies sell parts of the company that don’t belong to the core business and they start to focus and that thing they are good at.
