Listening to Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, Rita McGrath talked about these points – disruption and inflection points. I had a fair idea of disruption – how technology of today are disrupting existing business, bringing changes, etc.

Inflection point was something new for me. In this podcast, she tells how companies, business or even industries should foresee inflection points. Inflection point is a change in the environment that creates a 10 times impact on your business whether for good or ill. As an example, the advent of digitization has created inflection points for sector such media, etc. (

Lesson here is to spot the warnings long before it really hits you or your business or your income stream or the economy.

Going by the sudden slow down of Indian economy, I wonder if we oversee the infection point. Did anyone saw it coming? What about the Reserve Bank of India or other economists?
What if it was informed and the information passed to the Government and then no one bothered to follow it?
