The rules have changed. Tossing around on a sea of turbulent change, companies that can’t respond to new situations rapidly are sunk. These “strategic inflection points,” as Andy Grove calls these transitional moments, arrive when conditions change and existing businesses do not adapt.
The coming of the network age is as big a change as any of us are likely to see. The Information Era has arrived. The Machine Age is over.

If you’re looking for a way to weather the economic downturn, the first thing you need to do is realize that it’s a permanent climate change, not a passing storm.
Nonetheless, it’s time to get ready for massive change. Survivors will develop and present agendas for change while things are in flux. Jay’s column on Effectiveness, CLO magazine , February 2009

Much of this discussion was about how to get change to happen, with (I think) a very practical and realistic acknowledgment of the barriers to change. The idea of iterative change came up several times. Where traditional project and change management follows a linear process, what may be more effective for emerging technology is to do lots of little projects, see how they go, and adjust as needed.

I've been dipping into The art of changing the brain by James E Zull (Stylus, 2002) for some time now. However, if you just want to know what the main recommendations are, then here's a summary of the notes I took: Main premise: "Learning is change. It is change in ourselves because it is change in the brain. The subtitle of the book, 'Enriching the practice of teaching by exploring the biology of learning,' pretty well sums it up - this is neuroscience for teachers, written by a Professor of Biology and Director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education at Case Western Reserve University. If you want to explore and validate the neuroscience, then you'll have to read the book I'm afraid.

George Siemens recent post - Formal and informal...control control vs foster discusses the move from mainstream, controlled information to consumer generated information. His examples include: Mainstream media -> YouTube Mainstream press -> Blogs Microsoft Office -> Office 2.0 It's easy for us to look at this and think about it as "those guys" being disrupted.
