Inputs and Outputs Writing is clarifying Subbu Allamaraju's Journal Inputs and Outputs Sunday, June 26, 2022 One of the best books I read last year was Colin Bryar and Bill Carr’s Working Backwards . Of all the chapters in this book, Chapter 6 on “Metrics” was the most influential for me. It clarifies the difference between inputs and outputs. Gaining weight is an output. Eating healthy and staying active are inputs. Last week’s Supreme Court ruling reminded me of this book as the verdict was just an output, culminating years of strategy, planning, and execution of certain controllable inputs.
