Unconventional Thinking
Mark Stevens, a RainDance 08 speaker, has some pretty unconventional thinking that's worth reading on his blog.

Lessons from the World Champion Boston Celtics - Building a Winner
What a difference
a year makes. The Boston Celtics finished 2007 with just 24 wins - the worst record in the Atlantic Division and the second worst record in 62 years of Boston basketball. But on June 19, 2008, they rode through the streets of Beantown with the NBA
championship trophy held high above their heads in front of cheering throngs of more than a million people. It was the biggest turnaround in league history.

So how can a franchise go from worst to first? How do you chalk up 66 wins - one of the top five regular-season records in league history - after being the doormat that everyone walked on for years? How do you attract the star athletes necessary to pull off that feat when you haven’t won a championship in 22 years?

Law firms take note – there is a message here for you that comes directly from Celtics President Rich Gotham, who was the star attraction at this year’s RainDance Conference.
