In the old economic order of scarcity, companies aimed at specific target segments, armed themselves with the capital, talent and products or services and then fired them in order to acquire revenues, market share and profit at the expense of competitors.
In the new economic order of abundance, communities of like-minded people seek direction within to find the source of their passion and purpose, align the diverse interests of their community members, in order to attract and engage their partners – the customer and supplier -- in a process of co-creation that creates value where none existed before.
The old model is outer directed and involves pushing out. The new model is inner-directed and involves attracting or pulling in.
The old model is serious and hard and energy draining. The new model is playful, easy and energizing.
The old model is a march. The new a dance.
