AUDIO: Embrace Change in Uncertain Times Says Futurist

From my September 11 interview with the Central Valley Business Times.

•  Smaller businesses can more easily adapt, if their leaders are not timid

•  ‘These are great times for business, especially if you’re small or mid-sized’ end

Uncertain times can be great times to grow a business, says technology forecaster, business strategist and author Daniel Burrus.

“These are great times for business, especially if you’re small or mid-sized,” says Mr. Burrus. He says smaller businesses – if their leaders are not timid – can out-maneuver larger firms during uncertain times.

He says while times may seem uncertain, there are many events that happen with rock-solid certainty. “There are known cycles,” he says – from the cycle of the seasons to annual events such as Father’s Day.

But, he says, there’s another kind of change that business leaders need to understand — linear change.
