Today’s article is a collaboration between me, Ricky Sutton, author of Future Media, and Salvador Klein, author of Three Strikes Theory.

Salvador is a successful executive and entrepreneur, and an investor in my last AI company Oovvuu.

In Three Strikes Theory, he explores how any company, large or small, is only ever Three Strikes from disaster, or Three Strokes from success. 

Today we’ve teamed up to apply the Three Strikes Theory to two of the world’s Big Tech companies, Google and Microsoft.
