Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Finished either way

If we don't change quickly, we're finished. If we change in the wrong direction, we're also finished. So either way, we're finished.

@OP So I guess in your book, changing quickly in the right direction isn't an option? If so, I hope we prove you wrong.

Dhivya has it under control. She reorg’d the place to perform so well our stock price will hit over $200 soon. Just watch. And we are getting more Indians to turn this ship around, so expect nothing but quality from here on out.

Nuanced view of change.

Speed of Change: Business expert Howard Tullman argues that slow, deliberate change is often better than fast change because it overcomes inertia and resistance. While he notes that "you can change, or you will most assuredly and eventually die," he emphasizes that treading carefully allows organizations to overcome consumer pushback, suggesting that gradual adaptation is a viable and often superior strategy to rapid shifts.
Direction of Change: The context highlights that changing direction is critical, but it does not equate a wrong turn with immediate "finishing." Lao Tzu’s quote, "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading," is used to encourage proactive course correction. The Living Compass podcast notes that even a small change in bearing (e.g., three degrees) can lead to a very different future outcome, implying that adjusting direction prevents stagnation rather than causing immediate failure.
Continuous Evolution: Benjamin Franklin’s quote, "When you're finished changing, you're finished," is interpreted by commentators as a call for lifelong growth rather than a warning about speed or direction. Tony Woodall explains that this means stopping growth is akin to being "done" or "kaput," emphasizing that living beings must continuously evolve to remain alive and engaged, rather than failing due to the pace or initial accuracy of their changes.
