I disagree. Ideas are a dime a dozen. The how (execution) is what always trips people/companies up…[/quote]

The execution again, isn’t creativity. It’s execution. People and companies trip up in the execution for a wide variety of reasons. Being a bad idea is just one of them. People being fickle, inept, disinterested, unmotivated, are more. Sick, just a mistake, or just flat out failing are others.

Think FedEx. The idea was item, the execution is paramount, but the execution wasn’t the creativity. And increasingly, with plug and play components, the execution is becoming a commodity.

There will always be jobs for those making those items, or improving them, but increasingly, we’ll see an ever greater shift towards people that can leverage abstract factory patterns with plug-and-play components.

It may be 10 years out. Maybe 20. But think of how many people you work with are really just doing stupid language tricks.
