The future depends on what we do today. Mahatma Gandhi

Globalization and the IT revolution have changed everything.

Time and distance have collapsed. The consumers’ thirst for what’s new is insatiable. Markets are changing faster than ever. The challenges are enormous. The question is how best to compete.

As you ponder your future, searching for answers and the right direction, here are five questions to consider:

1. How strategic is your thinking?
2. How adept are you at changing?
3. Are you making the best use of the new social media tools for your business?
4. How broad is your world view?
5. What is the one, most significant action you need to take to move your business forward?

The future is arriving, ready or not. Getting it right isn’t easy but hey, who said it was going to easy?
