Somnec, Polls and a New Foundation

“I think there is some serious question or doubt [about pollsters’ credibility]. Pollsters have always hung their hat on this – if we can predict elections, we can predict other things. This is a blow to the industry. It’s not insurmountable, but it’s a blow for sure,” Mr. Mossop said.

Can the pollsters adapt?  What does everyone who's depended on them to confidently provide prognostications do in the interim?

It's when we start questioning the premises we've clung to that we begin to realize we've been hibernating in an organizational structure stasis while the world evolves around us. 

How we do governance.  How we design the work day and manage transit flows.  Work-life balance.  Information flow - messaging vs communication, selling vs adaptation.  How we define value.

Lots has changed while we've been complacently going about our routines.  The hurdles we now have to overcome are daunting, but not insurmountable.

There's only one way to go the distance - and that's by pulling in the same direction together.
