Best, Brian-
Do you really think that the consumer is going to, or has changed?? This is laughable. As soon as things get swinging again, particularly people that come into “easy money” again, Real Estate, Finance, high paid construction and crane operators, etc… They will go right back to their old habits. People, in particular americans do not change. We are a society of “gotta beat what the neighbor has” people, and it has been this way since WW2.
Good Luck with change.
Freddy V,
I hate to break it to you sir, innovators, such as Google, Apple, Threadless, Wikipedia, and Twitter (and this is just scratching the surface) have already changed the relationship between consumer, product and service. Now whether you (and/or others like you) know or acknowledge it is another story. The market doesn’t just change in one big bang. It’s constant, ongoing, relentless change. Sometimes invisible if you don’t really pay attention to it. What happens is that one day you look around and all of a sudden the skillsets you have (or lack of) make you irrelavent.
Also if you think the way we did business in 1995 will be the same way business is done in 2015 then I think you may want to look a little harder and closer to what’s going on in the world. You’ll be doing yourself a huge favor.
