Jim Collins on ideas and movements


Jim Collins has a new book out – How the Mighty Fall. I can't wait to read it. He has also hinted he has some interesting ideas he's researching related to entrepreneurs, or opportunity capturers as I tend to think of them. In his most recent Time magazine interview, Collins says "entrepreneurship is about an idea more than just an organization." It is "creating a movement."

He said similar things in a recent Inc. magazine article.

Sure a great movement needs organization and structure, but it first needs a great idea and others with the same ideas. What great ideas could help transform the dairy industry? I'll be asking for more of those ideas from you in the coming days.
