To meet today's demands means not being crippled by preconceptions. Your old ways of thinking can stifle creativity. The task in this electronic marketplace is to unlearn old judgmentalisms that inhibit vision. Not since the advent of the printing press has the world seen such rapid change in the way information is shared, war is waged and how business gets done. To maintain the competitive advantage in today's explosively changing environment means more than having access to information or being able to transmit it quickly. Success has to do with how you process that information and come up with new ideas.
