Nadella's Microsoft is obsessed with data-driven growth hacking

Satya Nadella's message to the Microsoft troops yesterday underlines the way consumerization has changed computing already: To Microsoft, everyone is now a "dual user" who uses technology for work and play. That's two chances to lose a customer if Microsoft products don't delight them.

To make sure that those products do delight, and do what people need, Nadella is turning to some of the tenets of Silicon Valley startups like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, AirBnB, and Netflix: Data science and growth hacking. If you talk to people who work at Microsoft, you'll have heard them use some new language this year, with phrases like "change agent" and "growth hacking."

Getting comfortable with change and being involved in changing things is what Nadella pointed out that everyone at Microsoft is going to have to do; "Culture change means we will do things differently. Often people think that means everyone other than them. In reality, it means all of us taking a new approach and working together to make Microsoft better." One Microsoft, as you might say.
