Rawn Shah once told me that knowledge is evolving faster than can be codified in formal systems and is depreciating in value over time. This pretty well sums up the situation.
Humans have the ability to deal with some very complex things, yet too often our societal and organizational barriers block us from using our abilities. In the new economy, it’s not what you know, but what you do with what you can learn, that will be valued. It will take rebels on the edges to do this.

Céline Schillinger, a fellow change agent, says that companies must cultivate their rebels in order to remain relevant to their workers, while staying competitive in their arenas.
These rebels can let them see beyond the organization’s walls. Rebellious people are essential for a new economy that no longer requires the diligence and obedience now provided by networked computers.
The rebel spirit is the competitive advantage for innovation and creativity.
