American car makers had the same opportunity to change as the Japanese did back during the Clinton era and refused depending on sales gimmicks of gas guzzling vehicles… while the smart companies, fearing they would be left behind created the cars of the future.

@Jon – Great example. Cirque du Soleil was definitely a game changer. I noticed that Barnum & Bailey’s Circus has adopted some elements of Cirque du Soleil into their act now.

I like the example of the Wii – it does what all big game changers seem to do, and merges its core idea or function (computer games) with another idea or function (physical movement or mimicking physical interaction).

Of course there were others before the Wii, they just pulled it off the best. Its easy, intuitive and simple.

Another good example I think you might agree with is Cirque Du Soleil. A combination of circus entertainment with theatre and sophistication that was truly a quantum improvement in the circus market… if you can call it a circus!

Best,
