Disrupt or Die

“The newspaper industry had a clarion call on how to respond to disruption, but like most disrupted industries, the industry has failed to adopt these strategies… In industries that are being disrupted, 9 percent of companies make it. Of the 9 percent that made it, 100 percent had set up a separate disruptive business unit.”

“Communities and local people have a general feeling of remoteness from decisions currently being made about their area. They want to have a very local democratic voice on issues like housing, planning, libraries, environment, community services, parks, crime and social disorder.”

How hyper is hyperlocal, Comrades? Fiefdoms for all.

But anyone attempting butterfly in a public pool deserves to fail. Not that I’m bitter…
