“A fish only discovers its need for
water when it is no longer in it.
Our own culture is like
water to a fish.
It sustains us.”
Fons Trompenaars

“How are we to formulate a dilemma? First: describe the dilemma by using the words: ‘On the one hand… / and on the other hand…’ Second: describe positive elements of both sides of the dilemma (e.g. individual versus group; objective versus subjective; logic versus creativity; analytical versus intuitive; formal versus informal; rules versus exceptions; and so on). In general, most managers and people are afraid of dilemmas, which are more difficult to solve than problems with a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response. Dilemmas necessarily entail a respect and valuation of both sides of the issue and demand more creative and innovative solutions. This in turn requires a closer awareness of and attention to the values underlying different business models and the contexts in which they are used.”

“The authors of Groundswell suggest the POST approach for change, working with people (assess social activities of customers), objectives (decide what you want to accomplish), strategy (plan for how relationships with customers will change) and technology (decide which social technologies to use).”
