Quotebook: The Cost of Change and the Status Quo

Stuck?  Turns out that change is a math formula.

“Here’s the formula.  Change happens when the cost of the status quo is greater than the risk of change: C(SQ) > R(C).”  Alan Webber, Rules of Thumb.

Webber, along with Bill Taylor, was a founder of Fast Company magazine. His book, Rules of Thumb: 52 Truths for Winning at Business without Losing Your Self is a very good read, packed with insights that will have you marking up your copy.
