Companies need to look at how the world is changing and figure out how to adapt to the new realities. Instead they try desperately to shape the change to somehow keep revenue flowing to their existing bloated businesses.
Despite every news story to the contrary, music isn’t in dead. The business model that allowed record labels to dominate is dead. Music is doing fine, artists have fewer barriers between themselves and their audiences and it’s easier than ever to get exposure. Will there be music executives who are millionaires and 20 music “superstars” selling out arenas with annual tours in the decades to come? Probably not. But can Julia Nunes and Jonathan Coulton find audiences today and gain access to venues they never could have in the 80s because the record labels wouldn’t have given a shit about them back then? Yup. And new support systems will rise up to support this new type of music industry.
Increasing access to cheap, new, and exciting entertainment options will make people unlikely to want to shell out $70 every year for an uninspired update of “Madden.” How are video game companies responding? “Let’s figure out a way for them to spend $70 AND pay for downloadable content AND to access our servers to play. And are there any other ways anyone can think of? Otherwise how will be be able to pay our VP of HR and our eight marketing directors for the next five years?”
3-D printing is going to cause profound changes to the manufacturing industry. Self publishing will continue to decimate the established publishing model. While these changes will have beneficial and painful ramifications, the smart response is to do what I learned from improv training long ago…
Accept the reality of the situation and “yes, and…” the fuck out of it. Figure out what you can do great in the new world and do it.
Create the new reality. Don’t cling pathetically to the old one.
