Ben and Jackie have been writing for some time now about the one percenters. In fact, they’re writing a damn book about it.
But I’ve got to believe I’m a 0.001 percenter. Evidence? There is no "small community" (yet) with which I can reinforce "strong-as-steel" bonds. There is not great demand (yet) for my advisory practice.
My concepts of practice for the Philippine energy sector are unconventional, not because they are offensive to most people, but because they’re just not the normal way things get done here (as if the usual way has been effective).
Here are just a few randomly selected past discussions, trying to explain my (developing) philosophy:
- Platform of Participation
- Discussions and faster feedback loops
- It’s disruptive; incumbents risk losing control of the conversation
- A new advisory ethic – Transparency, Conversation, Humanity, Correction, Immediacy
- Some key competencies
- It’s not about good ideas – it’s about trust.
The fact that I haven’t found the formula for getting my family fed by putting this philosophy into practice doesn’t discount the value of the philosophy – it means I haven’t found the implementation formula yet – or it hasn’t found me.
