I'm impatient for change. A good quality on which to build businesses. The status quo and self-satisfaction being the two greatest enemies of value creation. However you define value.
I write this post on technology that didn't exist to me this morning, on an app I didn't know about last Wednesday.
I do so, not because I am certain it will improve the quality of the process or the results.
But because I am not.
And because the cost and risk of exploration are acceptable.
Learning what we don't know is more important than learning what we do. A simple truth I am reminded of in every conversation in which I listen more than I speak.
Cost and risk, however, are subjective. And should always be measured against a fixed point of reference. Which is that the cost and risk of maintaining the status quo are always higher than we think.
And deny us the thrill of waiting, four-year old like, for the delivery of this wondrous window into the future that I now hold in my hand.
