I came across this quote from Charles Darwin recently in an editorial in Fast Company, and it strikes me as a propos in our current climate.  This year is the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species and in that book Darwin said "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.  It is the one that is most adaptable to change."

I was speaking with one of our airline customers recently--and if there's an industry that's been having a tough time for a long time--it's the airlines.  He was telling me about his experience over the past couple of years which included multiple rounds of layoffs of IT employees, but he was also very candid about his use of Daptiv PPM being a key thread for him to hold on to during the turbulence.  He was able to make do with a radically smaller staff because his configuration of Daptiv PPM had allowed him to quickly re-prioritize and re-allocate work to people who remained.

It appears now that the entire economy is in the midst of turbulence, not just a single industry segment.  For businesses, the ability to adapt to change this year will be key to surviving.
