This was a timely dispatch. Just yesterday, I read a piece by Tom Soderstrom at AWS, noting that disruption is now occurring 50X faster than it has over the past 15 years. That idea stayed with me—and was reinforced again this morning during a conversation with my client, Bob Brower, former President of Point Loma Nazarene University. He shared his view that most institutions in higher education are not equipped to adapt at the pace today’s environment demands.
I had a question about your Knowledge Worker Map—it seems aligned with the classic People Skills quadrant model. Do you see the same parallels, or am I reading too much into it? To me, it seems certain personalities are more naturally wired for experimentation—and some move faster than others. I'd love to hear how you see it.
