2012 Predictions and Prognostications



In the information economy, zero sum gain is the ideal outcome for those who are interested in capitalizing the given opportunities. ... Regardless of the pseudo-positive news, most of the low to middle tier jobs are not returning to the U.S. For the time being, the opportunities are fewer in number and the pay is certainly much more modest than before.

The Ala Carte Model
Those who are on top of their "information media" mountain, do not always have to innovate. They just have to find new ways to generate new streams of revenue with their content. Building different subscriptions models and producing new content could only go so far.

Thoughts from the Compass Desk
Those who innovate, usually have a challenging time of surviving. If the innovation becomes relevant, their chances of thriving increases. Those who can't innovate, will imitate while waiting for a new opportunity.

If the imitators are able to maintain their peak performance, then they will have a fighting chance to survive.

Thriving in the information economy is about transferring innovative ideas to something that people can connect to. Are you doing it?
