Last time I wrote about ‘Disruption’ was on 8th Nov 2016 @ 8.12 a.m. Taking the cue from me, Mr. Narendra Modi caused a massive disruption @ 8.12 p.m.! I promise this was not my suggestion!
The fact remains that, whether you like it or not, disruption is here. This disruption will be a game changer for many. For some, it will be positive. For others, it will be negative.
So who is afraid of disruption? To my mind, generally the well-entrenched guys are the ones who love ‘’status quo.’’ They have too much at stake; why would they embrace disruption?
It is the new players, who have the enthusiasm and the energy, to spot new opportunities thrown up by disruption, who like the massive churning that disruption causes.
Another category of people who love disruption are the “have nots.” They feel happy that the “haves” are facing difficult times. They might not gain anything from the disruption. They don’t mind the inconvenience caused to them. They are simply happy that the “haves” will lose their wealth and/or their future income. Perhaps they have some hope that, “Their loss, would ultimately become our gain.”
One category that loves disruption is the middlemen & brokers. They are the guys who facilitate the transition. For them, disruption presents a temporary opportunity to make hay, while the sun shines.
A lot of time is wanted in praising & criticizing the disruption agent. This time could be well spent in understanding the nature of disruption and planning your next more. But then, these are the emotions that make us humans. Otherwise, we would simply be robots.
Personally I see a BIG opportunity to help my clients in realigning their thinking, their personal wealth management model and their business model. Further, it makes life more interesting!
