By John Newby Guest columnist Apr 5, 2021 3 hrs ago Thereâs an old maxim that goes, âA problem well defined is a problem half solvedâ. This is so true in the transformation of your community, in business, as well as in our personal lives. In the technology world, we are taught the theory or principle of âDiffusion of Innovationsâ. This theory tells us it takes the same amount of time for new innovations to become used and perfected by 10% of the early adopters as it will for the next 80% of the population to adapt and embrace it. Simply put, the longer a sustainable innovation is around, the rate or speed of adoption accelerates rapidly. While this is a technology principle, it can be adapted to most innovations, and I also might add, to community and business transformation.
