Run with a Rebel Wild Pack
summary
Argues that change succeeds when a small coalition wins — 10% rule: if ten percent of an organization backs an idea it will tip — and shows concrete tactics: get a rebel pack, map decision timing (budgets lock in June), win over bureaucratic black belts (legal, ops), and frame proposals succinctly: what's at stake, what could be, and how it can work. Gives a $10M social intranet example framed as a SharePoint and Facebook love child, recommends prototyping, mastering meetings, soliciting alternative solutions, and steps for recovery if thrown under the bus.
