Is Prevailing Wisdom Either One?

Two people.

That's how many people out of over 5.9 million on espn.com picked Butler and VCU to be in the Final Four. In statistics, that's so small a percentage as to be negligible.

It did make me wonder though...what were those two people thinking when they picked Butler and VCU? Were they grads...fans...analysts...wanton gamblers?

It also made me wonder how many of us go with the "high seeds" in business instead of betting on longshots once in a while.

So often I see clients on an individual and corporate level rolling with the prevailing wisdom and not taking the risks that could put them in the finals.

Is there a Butler or VCU out there in your pipeline today? Give it a shot.
