That was a great vision articulated by Bill Gates in 1999. But for thoughts to possess speed they must first flow. It is not sufficient that they are created. That would be like the archer shooting his quiver of arrows into the ether - delighting in the speed of the arrows but bidding goodbye to any target. Thoughts cannot flow on their own - they need a stream of knowledge. For the stream to exist there must be energy to initiate the flow. But Drucker has said : "In knowledge and service work, partnership with the responsible worker is the only way; nothing else will work at all.” This implies that thoughts can only move at the speed set by personnel. So Busineess@The Speed of Thought emerges just as a chimera and events since 1999 have proven it to be so.
I shall leave the reader with a thought: What if there were a language for the progress of interaction on an idea across the organization?
