Which Path Will You Choose?
As we observe and are impacted by the present economic and political confusion we could find ourselves consciously or subconsciously predicting our future based on the myriad of potentials that are resonating from Wall Street and Washington. We have commented previously that America is in the midst of a greater change; a shift in mindsets from individual stakeholder to community shareholder. I believe this will not be initiated nor greatly facilitated by either Wall Street or Washington and instead is already happening in the business community.
The economic upheaval is revealing the struggle between existing and emerging mindsets in many ways; the most obvious are perspectives of “How can I get more out of this?” and “How can we work together and share value?”. It is not easy to break out of old mindsets and there are good reasons to guard proprietary advantage so sadly many well intentioned collaborative spaces fall into group think at best and spam branding at worst.
One functional tool that is most helpful is a Creativty Incubator. With it’s focus on creating viable solutions and opening people to an opportuntiy to give of themselves not just a specific skill, it is equally enriching to both it’s sponsors and participants.
I hope this wets your appetite a bit and you will join us over the next few weeks and months as we share some of our perspectives as we explore this n greater depth.
