Heard a great story from my colleague today about a sales call he was on a few years ago. They were meeting with an SVP of HR, who took the very hardline position that software can’t change culture. He was frustrated then because he lacked examples to disprove her theory, but the intervening two years have given him plenty ? Facebook, Craigslist, Napster, and iTunes just to name a few.
I thought I’d put it out there as a question for the TR community: what do you think? Can software change culture?
(Some more background on the story and why he thinks it can at http://bit.ly/dyS2Qm)
