Dustin Curtis – Create the Filter

There needs to be a human fil­ter that pre­vents mis­takes like these from becom­ing part of the company’s expe­ri­ence. The CEO, or the design direc­tor, or some­one with a huge amount of power at Heinz should per­son­ally use every one of its prod­ucts for some arbi­trary amount of time before it is approved to be sold. If it’s crappy, or if it has any defi­ciency, then don’t fuck­ing sell it. There, easy. Now, as long as that per­son at the top with power has some amount of under­stand­ing of what it means for a prod­uct to be awe­some, your com­pany can­not sell crap.

via Dustin Cur­tis – Cre­ate the Fil­ter. I couldn’t agree more, it’s a real skill for a com­pany to allow only the best to be cre­ated, some­one has to have the abil­ity and skill to say “this sucks, just fix it”.
