Abstract

From the Editor: The Fine Balance Between the Past and Future During the last ten of twelve weeks, I have had the distinct pleasure of delivering speeches both in the United States and internationally. The best part of doing these speaking engagements is that I get to spend lots of time in various industries and with people in a variety of roles. A common theme that I see developing throughout the world, especially amongst the innovation crowd, is people striking out against the “status quo.” At first when I saw this theme developing, I sort of dismissed it as global frustration with politicians and the business class. After all, who can argue against changing the status quo, especially at a time when innovation is such a popular topic? As I considered this palpable change in attitudes, I realized that striking out against the status quo in general may not be such a healthy thing. What may be the healthiest way to look at these trends is as a moderating force that is finally being heard. Several years ago, we saw the demonization of the “one percenters,” and today we have politicians who are definitely against the status quo. While
