Tectonic Change area

Close up of a frogs head, its eyes and nose sticking up over the surface of the water.

Do you remember what happens to a frog which is drop in boiling water?
It immediately jumps out of the pot.

On the contrary, when placed in cold water which is progressively brought to a boiling point, it remains in the water and dies.

Do you know why?

Because the signal of change is too weak in the second case to create a survival reflex.

Aren't we all a big "froggy"?
Arent't we all a little blind to the signals of change that are all around us?

That's exactly the point we refer to in our Corporation Map if we look at The "Tectonic Change Area" 

This is where some of the most destructive "Business Tsunamis" have originated! like the financial "crisis" of 2008. High waves of Innovation keep washing out the old-fashioned Businesses and Industries, obsolete Management systems, decaying Thinking approaches etc. etc. Today, new warning signals appear and are getting stronger. But a majority of companies continue to ignore them.


We should all learn to better feel and sense the world as it emerges, instead of treying to make it fit in our old perceptions and models. 


"We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in history — a change in the actual belief structure of Western society. No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world."
— Willis Harman, Global Mind Change
