The initial email I sent out had some link issues. There are also a point or two I would like to refer to in another blog post later so here is the orginial email I sent to some folks annoucinng our launch.
Please allow me a moment to proudly introduce my latest venture.
Times are tough and likely to get tougher. There is great uncertainty for many people and businesses today. There is constant change and new technologies to wrap your head around every day it seems.
Yet the folks that have come together with me as part of “a quiet revolution” (AQR) – a new social disruption agency – we see great opportunities in this uncertainty and climate of change and we want to show them to you.
If you are a person or organization with a mandate to actually help or benefit your clients – you have greater opportunities today than ever before.
We choose the descriptor social disruption agency over digital agency due to the opportunities we see and the direction we aim to take in our work. The social aspect is simply putting people first. It also represents our ability to connect, share and collaborate unlike any time before. Going forward we believe companies that put profits before people will continually be at a disadvantage in our now social media connected world.
Those social media connections – including mobiles and new technologies built on and around sharing – are disrupting every industry. If you think your industry is safe because you do not offer information or digital products, you should start researching 3D printers (including the ones for kids…) and change your thinking now . The day when I can trade digital files with friends and turn them into physical items I need is on the horizon. If you have yet to be impacted by these disruptions, it is only a matter of time. These disruptions are creating new business [model] opportunities for those willing to embrace the changes taking place.
The combination of putting people first and new technologies is democratizing industries. These changes are even playing a hand in powerful political revolutions.
You can look at these times as scary and uncertain, or full of potential and opportunity. We are in the latter camp and we welcome you to join us.
a quiet revolution: listen carefully …they’re happening everywhere
