slowCompanies move very slowly but people don’t.  It can take a company 1-2 years to make a decision, it takes a person a few minutes at most.

When it comes to collaboration and the future of work the snail-like pace of companies (especially large ones) to invest in technologies and strategies to support their future is going to kill them.  There’s no reason why it should take a company 2 years to deploy a collaboration platform and there’s no reason why it should take 1 year to build a strategy.

It’s the classic David and Goliath situation that Malcom Gladwell talks about in his new book.  We always assumed that it was Goliath who had the advantage when the reality is that it was David.

“Large company” no longer means better company and it no longer means that the company will be successful in the future.  We’ve seen countless large enterprises topple over recently and I fully expect that this trend will continue unless big changes are made.

The future of work is about moving faster and you move faster by connecting your people and information.
