There’s a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s 1925 novel, The Sun Also Rises , in which a character is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually, then suddenly.” The quote has since become emblematic of how a crisis takes shape. First with small signs you hardly notice and then with shocking impact. That’s certainly how it felt to me in November, 2008, when I was leading a media company in Kyiv.

I think it is important that we consider future competitive conditions as they are likely to be, not as we wish them to be. Too many people are talking about "new normal", as if they know what the new normal will look like. Just a few years ago, IBM moved almost all of its Raleigh staff from home offices to IBM buildings, with the argument that the occasional encounter or the hallway conversations created collaboration that could not occur when people worked remotely.

When you hear “there’s a crisis,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it CNN ’s report on “ The Gulf spill: America’s worst environmental disaster ?” How about Sports Illustrated’s “ Punch seen ’round the world ” Or maybe it’s when USA Today reported “ Yahoo may be the biggest data breach ” of all time? The reality is, even if your crisis isn’t that big, it feels that way.

[link] In the weeks and months ahead, consumers will engage in a very different shopping experience. That "new normal" is likely to persist for quite some time. As we have seen in grocery stores during quarantine, that experience will include social distancing, required masks, strict queueing procedures, contactless payment, limits on the number of people in the store at any given time, one-way aisle traffic, and a variety of other measures designed to protect our health and safety.

When we think of great leaders their great successes usually come to mind. We picture Washington crossing the Delaware or Gandhi leading massive throngs or Steve Jobs standing triumphantly on stage. It is moments of triumph such as these that make indelible marks on history’s consciousness. While researching my book, Cascades , however, what struck me most is how often successful change movements began with failure.

If you’ve been working in innovation for at least some time, you’re probably sick and tired of hearing people talk about “thinking outside the box”, or the need to create “outside the box innovations”. The phrase has become one of the most overused clichés out there. However, just like so many other clichés, there’s an underlying reason for this being the case even though I personally dislike the term.
