“People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.”
--- Warren Bennis
Reinvention isn't Innovation. Innovation might be the latest hot product from the Apple Factory, an unusual new restaurant concept or a unique method of assembling a product or delivering a service. Many companies are wildly innovative but reinvention goes far beyond a new product or service. The importance of this topic can be demonstrated by a piece of research from the IBM Study of the Global Marketplace came to my attention. The study makes the case that 66% of all CEOs believe their present business model is sustainable for fewer than three more years while an additional 32% believe the lifespan of their current business model is less than five years. That's an astounding 98% of CEOs who believe their current business models are ultimately unsustainable.

· Why being open and in control is possible
· When are we a candidate for reinvention?
· How do we change everything we do to take advantage of technologies that might not even exist yet?
· How and when do we start pulling the plug on the things we’re doing now?
