Replying to LO19218 --

Rick,

You asked about the work of Porras and Collins. There is not a week that
goes by that I do not return to Built to Last to revisit the concepts they
described. Why? It grounds me in a powerful framework and a compelling set
of data. I use their book to 'make sense' of phenomena in the
organizations with which I am working, even the one for which I work. It
is not the only thing I use. I am well aware that Built to last is an
excellent look backward. It is one tool to use while we remember (as Karl
Weick said) that we are living forward.
