1 One Answer.

1 “A focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has helped many organizations weather the downturn, but this approach will ultimately render them obsolete. Only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success.” —Daniel Muzyka, Dean, Sauder School of Business, Univ of British Columbia (FT/ )

1 The General’s Story. (And Darwin’s)

1 “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” —General Eric Shinseki, Chief of Staff. U. S. Army

1 “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin

1 My Story.

1 “ In Tom’s world, it’s always better to try a swan dive and deliver a colossal belly flop than to step timidly off the board while holding your nose.” —Fast Company /October2003

1 2. Re-imagine: Innovate or Die!!

1 Resist !

1 “Not a single company that qualified as having made a sustained transformation ignited its leap with a big acquisition or merger. Moreover, comparison companies—those that failed to make a leap or, if they did, failed to sustain it— often tried to make themselves great with a big acquisition or merger. They failed to grasp the simple truth that while you can buy your way to growth, you cannot buy your way to greatness.” —Jim Collins/Time/2004

1 There’s “A” and then there’s “A.”

1 Scale ?

1 “I don’t believe in economies of scale. You don’t get better by being bigger. You get worse.” —Dick Kovacevich/Wells Fargo/Forbes/08.04 (ROA: Wells, 1.7%; Citi, 1.5%; BofA, 1.3%; J.P. Morgan Chase, 0.9%)

1 We all live in Dell-Wal*Mart- eBay-Google World!

1 Wal*Mart (!) & Katrina

1 “Ebusiness is about rebuilding the organization from the ground up. Most companies today are not built to exploit the Internet.

1 “Between the local people and the top [of FEMA] seem to be about seven or eight layers of people who need to get a life.” —Mayor Bill White, Houston

1 “Sod all in the middle.” —Kevin Roberts on tomorrow’s flat organizations (Fast Company/03.06)

1 Power Tools for Power Solutions/ Strategies! —TP

1 5% F500 have CIO on Board: “While some of the world’s most admired companies— Tesco, Wal*Mart —are transforming the business landscape by including technology experts on their boards, the vast majority are missing out on ways to boost productivity, competitiveness and shareholder value.” Source: Burson-Marsteller

1 7. Re-imagine Organizing IV: The Professional Service Firm (“PSF”) Imperative.

1 “ ‘Disintermediation’ is overrated. Those who fear disintermediation should in fact be afraid of irrelevance—disintermediation is just another way of saying that … you’ve become irrelevant to your customers.” —John Battelle/Point/Advertising Age/07.05
