Evolve and Thrive or DIE

To win, you must stay relevant, always.  

      The competitive world is moving faster than ever. Innovation is attacking from every corner.Expectations are   constantly changing. All competitive advantages are temporary. Today, success is not about how much         money you have raised, how well you can execute against a plan or how creative your solutions were yesterday.  


Ask Yourself: Are you evolving fast enough? Are yo...

Chain of Habits are too weak to be felt, unitl..

       Break the chains NOW. Make the need to evolve a part of who you are. Make it a part of your company’s DNA. Get Your Head out of the Boat: https://lnkd.in/gheJn3J


       The caterpillar evolves because it is in her nature to do so. She is not chained to her past. As she evolves from Larva to Pupa to Butterfly, she leaves her past behind—she makes her old self obsolete. She is able to survive while focusing on evolving....

MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORY

        Make your own history and invent your future, constantly. Apply the basics dynamically. Don’t deny the potential of the force of insight from data analytics, but don’t rely on technology or data scientists to rescue your future.


        From the days of the Silk Road and forever after, in business it is always the age of “uncertainty” and the age of “flux and agility.” Remember, the choice to shape your own...

“Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.”

        History, the great teacher, suggests that the basics of strategizing, blocking, and tackling have not changed over decades and perhaps over centuries. Strategy formulation has always been a lot more than tinkering with process. History also points to the source of failure: refusal to alter our mindset and approach in order to deal with change and uncertainty.

        The challenge ahead is how to adhere to the basics of business while breaki...

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”

    The future will be ruled by visionary leaders who are not derailed by the hoopla of big data and analytics and are focused on comprehension, innovation, and strategy. Leaders who see information and data as a critical asset and not just a byproduct of doing business will gain the winning edge by discovering advantages and adjusting course as needed.

    The force of insight from data is without a doubt massive and getting increasingly more powerful....

Skip Pichard's Article: What A Caterpillar Can Teach You About Growing Your Business

[image error]Many people think that businesses should develop a strategy and stick to it at all costs ... But Sid Mohasseb, serial entrepreneur, investor, venture capitalist, and former the Head of Strategic Innovation for KPMG’s Strategy Practice teaches an entirely different approach: It’s the ability to adjust your strategy, almost constantly, that brings success. The environment is uncertain and changing, and changing with it is vital.

Sid teaches that we must push for more and evolve from one app...

The FORCE … It is about comprehension, stupid!

“It is the economy, stupid” was the campaign slogan that fueled Bill Clinton’s win over George H. Bush. In the today’s competitive world “it is comprehension” of data and analytics that will drive success.

Newton’s second law of motion suggests that force is expanded as the mass of an object and its acceleration are increased. Force equals mass times acceleration ( F=ma) and when either element increases, the force expands. In other words, faster speed of change imposed on a larger body o...
