I have found there are some people that disagree with the current vision and have a tough time advocating for themselves. The key is to find and nurture these folks so they can voice dissenting opinions and perhaps a better path. It can also be difficult to differentiate these visionaries from people who just don't want to change or who just want to complain. I think a strong, diverse team that has opportunities to speak openly is the best structure for capturing all ideas.

Any idea is just that unless it has a champion to make it a reality. I can tell you from personal experience that it isn't always easy being a champion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-65773717896949301362009-11-02T09:45:06.673-05:002009-11-02T09:45:06.673-05:00I agree that business must understand and use usef...I agree that business must understand and use useful technology.

If you try to copy other people you will never be able to do better than them, you'll only be able to match what they have already done. It's hard at first being the only one, but it pays off in the end when everyone is following your lead.Brittany Moorenoreply@blogger.com
