Change is inevitable.

The world is changing. It’s changing much faster than we expect.

Joe Schoendorf, a partner of ACCELL partners for 20 years and a former employee of HP and Apple for 40 years, talked about “The Global Shift – Everything is Changing” at Stanford Summit. I strongly encourage you to take 15 minutes of your precious life for watching this session. In the end of the session, someone in the audience asked him about what his biggest mistake was. He answered back by confessing one of his mistakes: Laughing at Bill Joy’s idea of creating workstation. (Bill is a co-founder of SUN Microsystems. ;-) ) Joe, himself was one of the bozos which Guy mentioned in “The Art of Innovation“.

Also you might want to check out another session, “Introducing the New Captains of Innovation” of which Guy was a moderator. I really liked the part when he teased about “Aggregate Knowledge”. Who in the world creates that kind of name for a company? ;-)

Change is already happening and it’s inevitable. It’s time for us to catch new opportunities.
