Pushing Ideas

How many great ideas do you know that die on the table? How many great ideas are barely on life support?

Ideas are great and getting things done is even greater, but the hard part in having an idea come to life lies in the middle. The truth of the matter is that nobody likes to be pushed around, but that's the only way a great idea will ever see the light of day.

Its very survival could depend on it.

The truth of the matter is that the business world is changing. Not year by year, but moment by moment. Big business is being beat-up by two guys, a clever spin on a traditional industry, a rental lease on some garage space in Menlo Park and a couple of iPhones.

What's a business to do?

There's this great little...

The New Marketing Conversation

If Marketers could take one hour to re-think who they are and what they mean to consumers, this is the type of conversation they should have...
