Change... Count on it
No matter how experienced or learned, for some reason known only to the "gods," we must be constantly reminded that our world changes.
Often with blinding speed, rudely smacking us
about the head and leaving us befuddled —
wondering how our business disappeared, our community deteriorated or our organization
fell apart.
Whether we believe it or not we face extinction everyday just by standing still. The news businessis a clear example.
Coast-to-coast, newspapers are ceasing print production and scrambling for new business models. Seemingly overnight the Internet has become the news medium of choice for millions, with “microblogging, the emerged communications sensation, delivering "what's happening right now" via home computers and cell phones.
Transition
If you are in business today, or a community leader,
you know you must transition away from what you have been into something better, stronger, more competitive, more atuned to today's world.
Transform
You have no choice.
You must transform yourself, your company, your organization, your community. Otherwise the world will simply pass you by.
You must make the change now.
But, into what and how?
Thrive
Take the risk. Make the right moves and you'll
have a chance to Thrive.
We will help you transition
through the transformation process.

Common Sense, a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine, was first published anonymously on January 10, 1776, during the American Revolution. It had the largest sale and circulation of any book in American history at that time. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as, “the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era.”

"Twitter didn't start the protests in Iran, nor did it make them possible. But there's no question that
it emboldened the protesters, reinforced their conviction that they were not alone, and engaged populations outside Iran in an emotional, immediate way that was never possible beforehand. President Ahmadinejad — who happened to visit Russia on Tuesday (June 16) — now finds himself in a court of world opinion where even Khrushchev never had to stand trial. Totalitarian governments rule by brute force, but also because they control the consensus world-view of those they rule. Tyranny, in other words, is a monologue. But as long as Twitter is up and
running, there's no such thing." Time, 17 June 2009
