Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death Albert EinsteinWhy Is Growth So Hard? by Geoffrey Moore and Richard Moran. An excellent article which sets your mind towards the growth phase after cutting down almost to the bone. It's easier to cut down existing costs than get new ideas and new products flying. Moore suggests that each company should make a full time position just for creating growth. A bold place where one has to be able to question and resist existing working models and attitudes. But loads of fun if one likes to create something new and be on the top of the latest new, new thing.
By the way the Optimize looked like an interesting magazine. Another good piece worth checking from the same mag: A Formula For Sustained Success.
