The $100 Billion Collaboration Plan

Before the fact, some innovative or breakthrough ideas are inconceivable. After the fact, I often have two experiences: one is the of-courseness of the idea; and the second is, "where was the innovator looking from that he/she/they saw this possibility and others did not?"

Even after the possibility is fully explained some may not be enrolled. I had that thought when I read Alan Cohen's Opinions and Insights from Cisco. He posits that a change in the meeting process, culture and technology can add $100 billion of productivity gains to the workforce worldwide. I wonder how many will jump on that possibility and garner their share of productivity gains.
