At a recent team meeting, an engaging business professor, author and speaker was talking to us about innovation, disruption and change management. We heard about how humans just aren’t emotionally keeping up with the pace of technological advancement happening in the world. It’s difficult to adapt to change that is happening so quickly, yet often seems not to be happening to us.
The idea, the professor argued, is that the constant wheels in motion at any business, no matter how successful, can be thrown off course with the slightest disruption. With nothing new being fed into the loop, forward momentum can stall. Physics doesn’t apply to business operations quite like it does to the laws of motion. Rather, it’s relevancy that rules.
