Sustainability Solutions to Share with Linchpins # 56

I’m sharing some “million dollar” creative sustainability ideas and you can have them for free. Be a Linchpin and develop something: ship, ship, ship!

Crossing from the early adopters to a larger group
I’ve blogged many times about the chasm. That’s Geoffrey Moore’s term for the gap between the small part of the market populated with people who like to go first, and the larger group of people who want to get involved with something that’s proven, popular and effective. The early adopters ask, “is it new?” The […]
