The Journey’s Path Through Disruption!
When experiencing disruptions, most never recognize the starting line of the journey.
Only as time goes by, those traveling through disruption realize what is behind them is now irrelevant and begin to see in front of them the signs marking the detours to avoid the status quo route, a route that will always end in the traveler's obsolescence.
These detour route markers are welcome signs for those on a journey towards constant relevance. However, those fearful of what could be ahead will ignore the warning signs' realities and continue on the path towards their obsolescence.
So, on all journeys in business and life - the path in front of you is never without detours. These paths are also very rarely without other travelers.
Sometimes, those we find on our journey are great traveling partners, and sometimes, these strangers on the path lack the traits that we have defined to make us comfortable.
Traveling through disruption is not about surrounding yourself with who and what is comfortable; disruptions are about destroying that which is comfortable.
Disruptions are never permission-based. They are either a spontaneous event or a planned surprise and are never welcomed by the status quo.
So, as you find yourself on the journey through your disruption, don't fear what is unclear. Use your open mind to imagine the possibilities along the journey.
All of us eventually will reach a destination of our choosing. However, keep in mind that it's those small choices along the journey's path that, as a collective, guide us to our destination.
Travel well, my friends!

To start with, I request that the new CEO make it absolutely clear to everyone what position and influence the old CEO still has. Also, clarify what equity ownership remains with him? Or any other senior leaders, either terminated or employed at Visual Edge IT, including yourself.
I believe both Ricoh and Konica Minolta are too weak to be serious contenders. They both seem to be in a perpetual state of on-the-job training. If one listens to their leaders within their industrial business units, one can only recognize hope as the foundation of their business strategy, and we all know that hope doesn't pay the bills!
Now is the time for all Konica Minolta Dealers to consider their future. Dealers with multiple OEM lines, in addition to the Konica Minolta line, maybe should consider eliminating the Konica Minolta line altogether. A dealer could have great leveraging power with their other OEMs if they chose one to replace their Konica Minolta MIF.
