and
the
Internet,
and
their
role
in
our
lives,
has
changed
how
we
communicate,

and
share
information,
the
media
we
consume,
and
the
reasons
we
engage
with
each
other
-­‐
online
and
of9line.
The
effects
of
these
changes
are
being
felt
by
all
of
us,
every
day,
all
the
time.

moves
FASTER.
People
are
more
closely
CONNECTED.
We
all
have
DIFFERENT
OPTIONS
and
BETTER
CHOICES.
Our
EXPECTATIONS
ARE
HIGHER.
The
connections
we
make
to
the
issues
and
events
that
shape
our
world
are
being
TRANSFORMED
-­‐-­‐
rapidly
and
constantly.

7. How
organizations
operate,
organize,
and
communicate
must
be
RE-­IMAGINED.
The
passion
and
interest
of
individuals
must
be
RE-­
FOCUSED
and
RE-­DIRECTED.
The
ways
that
we
measure
success
must
be
RE-­ASSESSED.
The
ways
we
promote
big
ideas
and
create
better
solutions
must
be
RE-­ENVISIONED.
