START
I talk in my keynotes a lot about the danger of MOMENTUM which is basically this:
An individual, team or company moves in a certain direction and when things change they struggle to adapt to the change.
This thinking is based on Newton’s first law of motion which states that:
"A body at rest will remain at rest,
and a body in motion will remain in motion
unless it is acted upon by an external force."
Don’t for a second think that Blockbuster, Nokia, Kodak and many others went bust because no one inside their organisations realised where the customer was heading.
Of course, they knew (I worked closely with Nokia as it was happening)!
They just couldn’t change the direction of the business due to momentum.
So the challenge in transformation is less about seeing where the future is heading (Nokia and Kodak saw it and it didn’t help) and more about the ability to build adaptability in businesses and know how to change or transform when needed.
This also applies to your LIFE.
