Where are we in the economy?

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

When business is thriving, when revenues are rolling in, and investments are doing well - there is little inclination to innovate - by innovate I mean change the frame, the process, or the outcome.

In the past when I've offered a new idea, a new method, a different outcome -- the thought of the additional work caused an audible groan. "Our numbers are up - we're looking good -- there's no need to change it up, to add more work than usual."

My read on where we are today is this: What has worked won't work now because, precisely because, we have just collectively been through something that has changed us. [Us as a province, as a country, as the world] There is no back to normal. Normal is a technology light year behind us.

Today you might have said: "We have fewer coins to invest but my whole team is on this project and if you are willing to innovate and evolve a new outcome - we choose you."

It's been a good day!
