Why Occupy Wall Street deserves more attention than the Tea Party
Both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street want to change America. That is where the similarity ends. The Tea Party is a well organized political machine. It has clear leaders, an agenda, and it has raised substantial money it uses to promote political candidates that support its agenda. ...

"Who Creates Jobs? Small vs. Large vs. Young"
Those who argue that "small businesses create the most jobs" have it partly right, but they also destroy the most jobs so that the net contribution of small firms isn't so clear. What is the relationship between firm size and job growth? It turns out the age of a firm is important independent o...

Scenario Planning + Managing Your Inevitable Social Media Crisis
Source: Decision Strategies International I see it weekly if not monthly. Brand or company X goes about their business on a social platform, marketing, putting out fun apps, doling out coupons and yes in some cases, engaging. Then one day, they get attacked by their customers or perhaps an adv...
Great blog entry. People and organizations are regularly locked-in to ways of thinking. These approaches serve them very well at one stage of the lifecycle, but becoming limiting as markets (and technologies) evolve. Work processes, metrics and culture become designed around the original ways things were done - and then it becomes very difficult to do something new.
It takes more than just people who have a fresh look at an old problem to implement change. It takes an approach that addresses the lock-ins, and special teams with permission and resources to operate outside the old bounds. Developing the idea often takes much more effort than merely having it, and unless you have teams allowed and resourced to work in white space forward development will not progress.
A blog dedicated to these issues, and overcoming them to grow is http://www.ThePhoenixPrinciple.com. There's also a Forbes.com blog that addresses this topic at http://bit.ly/daGSlM

Steve Jobs Secretly Has Liver Transplant, Says to Shareholders "How Do You Like Them Apples?"
News broke Sunday that Apple CEO Steve Jobs underwent a top secret liver transplant in Tennessee two months ago. While the source is unnamed, CNBC has confirmed the news is true. I guess when you're an iMac Daddy like Steve Jobs you can afford to keep this kind of shocking news away from you...
