In this accessible, prescriptive, and widely applicable manual, Google’s first engineering director and current Innovation Agitator Emeritus provides critical advice for rethinking how we launch a new idea, product, or business, insights to help successfully beat the law of market failure that most new products will fail, even if competently executed.
Millions of people around the world are working to introduce new ideas. Some will turn out to be stunning successes and have a major impact on our world and our culture The next Google, the next Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang. Others successes will be smaller and more personal, but no less meaningful A restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that tells an important story, a local nonprofit that cares for abandoned pets.
Simultaneously, other groups are working equally hard to develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some will fail spectacularly and publicly New Coke, the movie John Carter, the Ford Edsel. Others failures will be smaller and more private, but no less failure A home-based business that never takes off, a children’s book that neither publishers nor children have any interest in, a charity for a cause too few people care about.
Most people believe that their venture will be successful. But the law of market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services, businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after launch—regardless of how promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them. This is a hard fact to accept.
Combining detailed case studies with personal insight drawn from his time at Google, his experience as an entrepreneur and consultant, and his lectures at Stanford University and Google, Alberto Savoia offers an unparalleled approach to beating the beast that is market failure “Make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right,” he advises. In The Right It, he provides lessons on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement, and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype). Groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical, this essential guide delivers a proven formula for ensuring ideas, products, services, and businesses succeed.

"'The Right It' builds on the author's extensive work on 'pretotyping': getting meaningful feedback about an idea for a new product or service very soon after having the idea. Validate that there may be a market -- or show that there isn't one -- in days or weeks, instead of spending months or years and lots of money to find out that even if executed brilliantly, the idea just doesn't have a market. Alberto Savoia writes about biting back against the Beast of Failure, and explains why so many ideas fail. The book is funny, and full of really useful advice and techniques that you can use for any product or service -- whether or not it's in high tech. I recommend this book to anyone serious about business, with a stake in bringing something new to market. It's well worth the read."

The Right It Why So Many Ideas Fail and How to Make Sure Yours Succeed eBook Alberto Savoia Reviews
- I've been working with Alberto since 2016 and started a business shortly after to help customers find The Right It. The tools, techniques and tactics in this book are a shortcut to solving the great innovation challenge of our time -
How do we move from innovation theatre to getting valid experiments out the door and into customers hands as fast and cheaply as possible to discover which ideas are the most valuable?
How do we de-risk our innovation investments given the scale and pace of digital change?
After working with enterprise clients, accelerators and scale-ups with Pretotyping at the core of the rapid experimentation approach, and running over 700 Pretotypes using these methods, I can not recommend The Right It strongly enough if you’re serious about getting results fast.
A word of caution These techniques are a mirror on what is really going on in your organisation and will quickly shine a light on innovation busyness vs actual experimentation and discovery.
Jump in and find The Right It. - 'The Right It' builds on the author's extensive work on 'pretotyping' getting meaningful feedback about an idea for a new product or service very soon after having the idea. Validate that there may be a market -- or show that there isn't one -- in days or weeks, instead of spending months or years and lots of money to find out that even if executed brilliantly, the idea just doesn't have a market. Alberto Savoia writes about biting back against the Beast of Failure, and explains why so many ideas fail. The book is funny, and full of really useful advice and techniques that you can use for any product or service -- whether or not it's in high tech. I recommend this book to anyone serious about business, with a stake in bringing something new to market. It's well worth the read.
- I read "The Right It" cover to cover over the weekend, and despite my understanding of the Lean Startup methods, MVPs etc. this book does something amazing It clobbers the actual data driven decision making process into you over and over again, gets you out of mental rumination (if another word springs to mind, you will like the author's use of WTF, money talks, etc.) and presents you with enough killer tactics to empower you to start anything confidently. I fully expect this book to transform my serial entrepreneurial life...and for the better! Highly recommended.
- This books has formulas to help frame your thinking.
MEH -> X%YZ -> xyz -> Pretotyping -> !OPD -> YODA (skin in the game ) -> (repeat )
Translated, this says
1. Make a hypothesis about how your solution fits in the market.
2. Then, guess at any numbers and say what percentage (X) of the target audience (Y) will buy your solution (Z)
3. Now, xyz (lowercase) means take action quickly and get some locally-sourced data
4. !OPD ( the ! means not in programming terms ) so - don't ever use anybody else's data for this part of your thinking
5. YODA ( use different 'pretotyping' tactics to get a potential customer to put some skin in the game and help you refine your approach
These formulas are taught with stories developed through Alberto's years of teaching Stanford students about his thinking informed through a life of both success and failure.
The concepts seem simple. The anecdotes help you absorb them. Stories about SecondDay Sushi and how students simply printed some labels to add to existing products and the Walhüb infiltration of Ikea help you remember the tactics. The ideas seem simple. But, the process of getting into constant action is where the power lies.
Because the vocabulary creates a framework, it would work really well if all the people on your problem-solving team were up to speed.
If used correctly, you'll take more confident action. In action, you collect Your Own DAta and refine your hypothesis about how your solution is a match for the market.
OPD - is other people's data. It's never useful to get you into action. At best, it's fluff used for the business plans of old - but there's no place for data you haven't personally gotten from a potential user of your product.
Skin in the Game - people who say they'll buy your product should actually buy it. It's up to you to figure out how to get them to take an action that is more than just "say" they'll buy it.
TL;DR If you want to get into action, this book will give you some tools to do so more confidently. - Picked this up on a recommendation. Don't know the author or anything, just a random reader. I found this book EXTREMELY helpful and very insightful for organizing thoughts about new startups. If you are looking to start a business, PLEASE read this book first. It will save you a lot of pain and heartache and dramatically increase your chances for success. A very quick read. I loved the authors style. Clearly written from experience. All of the examples were very clear. The last chapter gets a bit preachy, but the nuggets you pull aware from it are worth the $13.
