Daily Inspiration: "World class innovators check their speed and focus on corporate agility" - Futurist Jim Carroll
You would think that I'm somewhat focused on the issue of speed as a core metric of success.
I come by it honestly.
After all, several of my books play into the theme - The Future Belongs to Those Who Are Fast being one of them. (Another one carries the theme in the subtitle: Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast.)
And yet, this isn't just a simple idea to latch onto to write a few books.
At the time I was compiling my list of 'world-class innovators' during the global economic recession of 2008-09, there was a clear focus on the issue of responding to speed through corporate agility. Check the Google Trends insight chart for that!
All around me, I witnessed organizations and their leadership teams becoming focused on their speed of response to rapidly changing circumstances - there was a lot of talk about the need for corporate agility and flexibility. I saw this within the discussion points raised by the companies who were booking me around that time - the CEO or other individual responsible for bringing me into a corporate event needed examples and stories of how 'world-class innovators', were learning to respond to fast change with fast action.
The idea that the future belongs to those who are fast and that organizations need to think big, start small, and scale fast?
It directly comes from the fact that world-class innovators focus on those ideas as key factors for thriving in a world that is becoming ever faster, and which the era of acceleration is clearly upon us!
