I came across this video on Ted.com.  I found Lisa Gansky’s ideas to be very interesting in terms of how things in the world of business are changing.  (Border’s Books could have learned alot by paying attention to emerging trends, in my honest opinion.) If you aren’t willing to adapt to changing market conditions, you probably won’t survive very long. It pays to be aware of emerging trends.

Lisa Gansky is the author of “The Mesh: Why the Future of Business Is Sharing,” and the instigator behind the Mesh Directory (www.meshing.it). For more than 18 years, Gansky has been an entrepreneur and environmentalist focused on building companies and supporting ventures where there is an opportunity for well-timed disruption and a resounding impact. A founder and CEO of several internet companies, including GNN (the first commercial web publication) and the largest consumer photo sharing and print service, Ofoto (now Kodak Gallery), Gansky’s attention is on sustainable ventures with positive social impact. Gansky currently serves as a Director of Dos Margaritas, an environmental foundation focused in Latin America.

The video lasts just about 15 minutes.  Take a look.  Let me know what you think of it.
