All of the smart people that I know (and I know more than I should I realize) are out looking for new ways of doing business. New models. New ideas. New ways of thinking. New ways of being paid.
It seems that there's a belief out there that the machine grown fat on the complacency of easy profit is suddenly awake and hungry again. Hungry to grow leaner, fitter, to get back some of its spark and energy.
Actually it's a lot like the heart attack victim who survives and heads for the gym mind full of thoughts of gratitude and promises of Iron Man Triathalons to come.
And all of the smart people are looking for ways to train him. Ways to break him of bad habits. Ways to make him fitter.
It won't be pretty - they're interested in ideas not in polish. And it might mean some unholy alliances between schools of thought but this Frankensteinion (?) new world might just lead to something better. And that has to be exciting - right?
