Intuit FAIL - And All Because Of A Failure To Communicate!
‘Storm in a teacup ‘or fallout not yet settled?
At the very least the story reflects poorly on Intuit’s head of communications who clearly doesn’t understand how communication works in 2024.
And yes I have listened to the whole podcast. The guy clearly doesn’t even understand journalism!
🔗📼 What we’ve got here is failure to communicate
🔗 Intuit’s PR Team Has Seemingly Never Heard of the Streisand Effect
Good post from John @Gruber today - and not wrong. But I think there’s more.
🔗 This is Rick Heineman’s LinkedIN Profile
- 1.144 followers on LinkedIN
- He seems to have NEVER posted - despite being at Intuit for 7 1/2 years
If you are ‘THE’ dude for communications at a place like Intuit - you should understand how social works. The data on his profile suggests he doesn’t. For all I know he might be a Rock Star over on TikTok - haven’t bothered to look - but for Intuit - surely this is a place to have a presence?
He wouldn’t even need to do it himself. He has ‘people’ for goodness sake.
All I know is that IF you are in corporate communications for any enterprise - you need to be at least socially aware. ideally ‘active’ - whatever that means. . If that company is B2C (and I think Intuit is) - then double down on this.
He got promoted just 6 months ago. Maybe he was trying to make a name for himself.
He clearly has.
Just joined a Discord and was asked to ‘introduce myself’. This is what I said …
I have lived at the intersection of ‘people empowerment through technology transformation’ for most of my career.
Problem - most of those people were INSIDE corporations and if you were on the outside - forget about it - you were a user, a ‘target’ and there was one objective … ‘maximize our share of your wallet’!
25 years ago a group of us asked if a Corporation can have a ‘CRM’ - why can’t a Person have a VRM (Vendor Relationship Manager) .. the question remains unanswered and definitely not implemented.
About ten years ago, I started focussed writing and podcasting about ‘People First’ and been doing it ever since.
I have this feeling that Task driven Agent AIs might be the first opportunity to start solving these very real problems.
Finally - I am NOT a coder - fascinated by it - but I know my skills.
My job is to understand what is being produced and explain it to others in terms that THEY can understand and unpack the relevance.
The constant push by industry and as a result - Academia to specialize, specialize, specialize has resulted in way too many specialized specialists and very few âcloud hoppersâ.
Cloud Hopping has always been a differentiator.

Spotted On LinkedIN. I have some thoughts.
In the past We might have thought that expertise is only domain.
Real expertise has always been about synthesis.
