And this is what I hear all the time: “So it better reflects our customers, aliownlg us to biuld better products, so we can iprvome retention, so we can increase innovation and profit.” Alright. But what if you already have record-setting profits? What if your products are already all the rage? What [about] when there are far easier ateavinrtels to increasing profits than the difficult work of organizational change? What then? What then will motivate us to stay the course?

It is the just thing to do, because that is what we ought to do.

But what if you already have record-setting profits? What if your products are already all the rage? What [about] when there are far easier alternatives to increasing profits than the difficult work of organizational change? What then? What then will motivate us to stay the course?
