I envision a particularly gruesome circle of Hell for the CEOs who’s ‘visionary leadership’ and ‘foresight’ gave them the ability to be in the midst of a trend years before anyone else.
I’m referring of course to the CEOs who, in 1998, made you add in their bios that they were e-commerce visionaries (ugh, that word again, twice in one entry!) five years before the Internet opened up to e-commerce. At one agency I worked at in the mid-1990s, we had a client who was apparently designing interactive CD-ROMs ten years before they were even on the market.
Go figure.
So this morning, O’Reilly Rader’s Marc Hedlund reports the receipt of a PR missive about a CEO who’s been thinking about Web 2.0 for more than ten years.
Wow. So not impressed.
