Change Happens

Leadership quote from Peter Drucker:
“Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future.”

Always and never change.  Technology changes, but several theories and concepts never change.  I cannot count the number of business classes that I took which touched on ancient philosophies from Aristotle or ancient strategies from Sun Tzu.  Many of the terminologies employed from knowledge management, enterprise 2.0, and so many others are re-hashes of the same underlying concepts with better descriptions and lessons learned.
