The world is moving, and a company that contents itself with present accomplishments soon falls behind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Any company has got to reinvent itself again and again.
This world is clearly emerging before our eyes. The shifts ahead, the opportunities ahead are massive.
Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.
There is a huge shift taking place in the global awareness in the last 5 years with strong views about globalization and the power structures of major corporations.
Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.
Ultimately, what any company does when it is successful is merely a lagging indicator of its existing culture.
Societies or companies that expect a glorious past to shield them from the forces of change driven by advancing technology will fail and fall. That applies as much to my own, the media industry, as to every other business on the planet.
All companies of any size have to continue to push to make sure you get the right leaders, the right team, the right people to be fast acting, and fast moving in the marketplace. We've got great leaders, and we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.
I think that companies always become complacent, over time. Or most companies, that is.
If it's one thing we do really well as a company, it's that we take big change slowly and deliberately and bring the community along with us.
