Follow people like Larry Downes who covers the subject of disruption. 

He may or may not be a good fit for your pitch, but his writing will get you thinking.

Don't think about your technology, your platform, your service, but what is it about your company that is positively disrupting the marketplace you are serving, trying to create, or discovering as you go through your next pivot.

Reading content such as Larry's is aimed at getting you to cast a wider net and help you become a better story teller.

I had the opportunity to work with Chris when Jeff Pulver and I did our 3,100 mile #140Conf Road Trip that was sponsored by Buick and of course the #140Conf Detroit that was held last October.  

I know there's lots to read out there.  

 

Drop something else you are reading, follow Chris for a while, and then decide.

Highly Recommended.
