Atlantic Systems Guild We live in an age of acceleration. Whatever the formula was for business success a few years ago, it won't work today.
Today there needs to be more and more work crammed into less and less time.
There are fewer people doing more and doing it faster in less space with less support and with tighter tolerances and higher quality requirements than ever before. So we have spent the last decade becoming ever more efficient. Now enter the need for change. In the super-accelerated corporation, meaningful change of direction is almost impossible. The very improvements that we made to go faster and cheaper have undermined our capacity to make any other kind of change.
