Change is in the air. Can you smell it?
Disruption is very big business. The keywords are ‘highly ambitious” and “stunningly practical”.
Airbnb will probably be the next Virgin.

All we have to do is look what happened to the old, traditional industries.

Generally - the more you find out, the stronger you stand.
Why? Because positioning is a bit like staking your land.
And it is your difference that's at stake:
1. Difference helps people make a choice between close alternatives.
2. Difference makes people feel more satisfied with their choice.
3. And most importantly, difference justifies paying a price premium.
This means we can never cease to make a difference - not for us, not for anybody else.
