SOB Hall of Famer: Manage to Change by Ann Michael

manage to change

“Manage to Change” provides a forum to discuss how change impacts people and businesses. By sharing observations and asking questions, we try to develop strategies for anticipating change, viewing it positively, adapting, and even changing the rules of the game as often as possible.

To some degree the focus is on information management: What will happen in the world of content creation, marketing, distribution/delivery, and the
business models of media and publishing, as technology advances and consumer demands change?

Notes from Liz: Ann Michael thinks of change in context. Change to her is part of a process.Ann approaches her life and her work with determination, energy, and constant attention to what might move things forward in a positive, supportive fashion. Read her comments, on this blog or the many blogs that Ann visits, and you’ll know that Ann likes to laugh and likes to study business — how it works and how people think. She is an intringuing and powerful combination of likeability, laughter, and downright competence. Read her blog and you will see what I mean.

    Ann
    That statement is really a fun one to think about. You’d be hallucinating and I’d disappear. I know some folks who’d like that A LOT!

    Mike,
    What does your son want to do, besides make his father college poor?

    he currently wants to design video games…

    he’s an anime artist - good one, drew my headshot on my site plus many for others…

    we’re looking at northeast schools - probably cs major and graphic design minor…

    and yes, the costs are definately mind-blowing - and i still have another one to do 3yrs after this one ;)
