Interesting post, Steve. Yes, I do like my buggy whip jibes. I also liked your Bezos quote, though I don't think it actually constitutes an answer. It is simply an observation on one facet of change. The things that are not going to change may sometimes be enough to form the basis of a sound business model for the future, and a sound basis for where a business should invest its money and efforts.
I am quite scathing of the Big 5 and confess my prejudice against them. However, the reality is that few firms cope well with the so-called innovator's dilemma.
