We may be moving to a world of

networks well led, as opposed to

organizations well managed.

Jim Collins, May 29, 2012Inc magazine

What to do?

• Foster a culture which considers trends

• Seek to understand trends & build capacity

• Tap into your networks and members to get ideas and feedback

• Be comfortable that not every experiment will be successful

• Purposefully abandon to create space

Thank you!
