\# 7 - Jul.2023

Happy Friday (a bit late)!

Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:

Two critical decisions when designing a product. The first one relates to your commitment to deeply understanding your customer needs or finding opportunities that are not well served. The decision is yours to put in the upfront effort to continuously learn and innovate on their behalf. 

The second one is how you position your value proposition. This will lead the different strategies to better bond with the customers you are serving. A mismatch between your value proposition and what customers expect usually results in frustration and promises that are not met. 

Interesting links I found during this week:

- [Building Resilient Organizations](https://forgeorganizing.org/article/building-resilient-organizations?ref=cesarrg.com)
- [Scientists used ChatGPT to generate an entire paper from scratch — but is it any good?](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02218-z?utm%5Fsource=Nature+Briefing&utm%5Fcampaign=252f018698-briefing-wk-20230707&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fterm=0%5Fc9dfd39373-252f018698-46827190)

Podcast I'm listening to:

- [The Drive](https://open.spotify.com/show/63AWQmsSnFNFHUqnRAOFtD?si=d5e1e97521ca4780&ref=cesarrg.com) by Petter Attia. Expert insight on health, performance, longevity, critical thinking, and pursuing excellence.

Quote from the week:

> "Growth may be constrained not by what we are good at but rather by what is essential and yet hard to improve” — on [AI and Economic Growth](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract%5Fid=3053718&ref=cesarrg.com).
