The Postillion with Michael Phillips
Profiles in Innovation from Around the World
I first want to thank all of my friends, family and readers from around the globe who have offered their prayers and kind words of encouragement for my wife, Sol, for her recovery from her recent stroke. Your prayers are being answered as Sol's recovery has been remarkable and swift. We expect her to to fully recover within the next few months. We have been very blessed.
When major events happen in our lives one often finds time to reflect on what is truly important. Of course my faith, and the love and caring for my family top my list. But, as a Boomer of 56 years, I now find myself asking what would I leave behind in this world as a legacy if God choose to take me tomorrow. This kind of thinking will result in a re-prioritization and culling of how one focuses their time and energies. Only activities, projects and commitments of true and lasting substance can survive such scrutiny. I am happy to now share with you why my involvement with The National Networker Companies (TNNWC) continues to merit my attention, time and dedication.
I have been very blessed to have experienced an exciting and diverse career as a consultant discovering and molding emerging technologies and best practices into integrated and innovative solutions. It has been great fun sniffing out each wave of opportunity and then crafting my surf board to ride it to success and adventure. I have caught some exciting waves in my 36-year career, such as telecommunications, database management, enterprise modeling, strategic IT planning, personal computing, system integration, the Internet, Service Oriented Architecture(SOA), enterprise architecture, cloud computing, and on and on.
The trick has been knowing how to identify the wave, knowing when it is time to build the board, and knowing how to time the wave just right and stand up at the precise moment required for the optimum ride. Many people are uniformed, and don't even know a wave is forming. Some see the wave coming and do not prepare for it and are left behind. And some actually see the wave, build a board and still miss the wave by not standing up on their board at the right time. They are left bobbing in the surf watching with envy as the "lucky ones" surf off to glory.
So what does all of this have to do with my continued involvement and commitment to TNNW? It is simple... I see a new and powerful wave forming. This new wave is driven by the positive energy of providing innovative services to emerging enterprises. An energy that strives to generate good will and improve mankind. This wave had its genesis in the positive energy that TNNW Chairman Adam J. Kovitz brought to humanity's grid when he plugged the world into The National Networker five years ago. This energy grew exponentially over this five year period through the addition of ideas-dynamo and Vice Chairman, Douglas Castle, and the addition of thousands of readers and member companies. There is now a new era for TNNWC about to launch out of the critical mass of this wave of positive energy.
This new era for TNNWC is driven by the principle of providing services and refuge to emerging enterprises who struggle against all of the negative energies and obstacles that are forming a very dark wave... a dark wave that is fed by the negative energies of a looming global economic crisis and the collapse of morality and ethics in business. The results of such a dark wave can be devastating.
The TNNW organization is now on a rescue mission to build an "Ark" of safety for member companies and subscribers. This "Ark" will be a safe haven to keep companies from being washed away by this forming dark tsunami. The TNNWC "Ark" will house innovative services and products to help member companies not only survive, but to thrive during the coming challenges. These services and products will be boundless and will knock down obstacles that block the way to success for emerging enterprises. It is this rescue mission... this forming positive wave of "success integration" to which I pledge my precious time and energy.
My pledge to TNNW includes my monthly article, The Postillion. My column will take on a new focus in support of TNNW rescue mission. My column will now focus on featuring new innovations in technologies and best practices that directly support emerging enterprises. My pledge also includes directly providing consulting help to TNNW organization and support the building of the "Ark." This is a wave I intend to catch... one that you should consider catching as well by offering up your services and expertise. Make sure your company does not get left behind. Become a member of TNNWC today.
I am honored to become a part of this noble endeavor. My involvement will result in a wonderful legacy I will leave behind. Be sure to watch TNNW closely as this new era of service is unveiled. You will not want to miss it!
