If you think this is hard, imagine what Mosses, King Jr. and Ghandi went through. Revolutions are not easy, but they can be exciting and even profitable. It’s the nature of mankind that someone will topple the old way of doing things. If you read any of these people, you will see that you can be calm and productive in the face of change. You can also be understanding in the face of people who don’t want to “com to the revolution” ~ I used this term in my last blog article because in the 1960s and 70s it seemed like a funny way to put things. It seems like it’s not that funny this time. By the way, lots of businesses closed and lost their way of doing things. Ask small town news publishers, lawyers and doctors. For over a century they were the most respected thing in town, now they suddenly became irrelevant (Time and Newsweek came by mail, so did Playboy.)

(Oh add Jeffereson and Washington and maybe even Lincoln to the mix… how about Gorbachev, what happened to him ? ? ? )

@ Ami:

It sure does, but be it sucked in the daily challenges or neglecting this point of view, companies/people (both on strategic and front-line level) do forget what it value and importance it adds to the organization.

This asymmetry to me seems more like a tear in the “business as usual”. It applies to both strategists and front line workers. After speaking with over 100 companies who did not see the need for blogs or social media, it seems like this technology wave is much bigger than the Internet/Web of 25 years ago. Now there are actual self made networks, this blog would not be on my radar screen unless I read the post description on Linked-IN. These not only change the way people consume information, it changes where they consume it and how they want to be informed. The next step is influence and I think social networks will eventually become marketing tools (not really review as ePinion). Anyway, interesting strategy story.
