Google tablet to give Apple a touch of its own medicine.

I just had to provide you with a link to this article in The Age online today.

Cheers,

Scenario thinking for innovation and risk

A “scenario thinker” may be able to overcome paralysis in such a situation. He or she will recognize the point beyond which the effort to work out what will happen produces diminishing returns, and will refocus sooner on a different question:
“What do we do if...?” and then: “What does this mean for what we do now?”
