SOB Hall of Famer: Manage to Change by Ann Michael
“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.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for stopping by. Ann’s a good one all right. She goes deep and she’s easy to read.
definately – her concepts are very much on target…
She seeks out great information too — not just the stuff you find everywhere. She’s a voracious and curious reader.
Wow – guys – you’re embarassing me!
Nice to meet you Mike!
Hey, no need to blush among colleagues.

How is the blog going, Mike. Need Ann to help with any changes?
Hi Mike! Sorry – I’m popping in and out – trying to get some things done tonight.

that’s why i related to ann’s focus for her blog – thanks again for pointing to it…

Hi Ann,
I’m doing the same thing.
Duncan said he’d put the header up tonight.
oooooh I’m an opiate.
no worries – me too…
right now i’m researching college’s for my son and i to visit this summer 🙂
well at least you’re not a halucinagenic – then we wouldn’t be sure you were actually here!
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 😉
College Tuition is the newest form of birth control.
lol – we’ll it’s 17 & 14yrs to late for us 😉
Ahhh, but it’s not too late for THEM.
Make sure they’re paying attention. 😛
unfortunately it’s too late! Before you get pregnant or father a child they should make you pay some other kid’s tuition!
I volunteer MY kid.
no let’s find some unsuspecting newly married couple!
yup – i’m actually doing all the research w/ my oldest (it is his future) and letting the younger one tag along…
so type of school, location and costs are all data points we go over…
some school’s costs are just silly money…
I meant NOW let’s find …
I was volunteering MY KID’s TUITION. 🙂
you’re so generous – it’s just like you
give… give… give
I’m signing off guys – have a good night.
Good night, Ann.
Don’t work so hard.
night all…
Sweet Dreams, Mike
Save those pennies!
