"Open 2019" is mostly about opening our minds to the Edge of Change that is upon us.

I cannot resist a play on words so whether you use "Open" as an adjective, verb, or noun the title of our next chapter is "Open 2019".  A chance to Open the new year with more about our digital transformations keeping us on our crusade to open software, open hardware, and open everything.  "Open 2019" is mostly about opening our minds to the Edge of Change that is upon us.

Please read our Open 2019 Review. "Open" is now the focus of our digitally transformed lives.

To accept the radical changes of "Open" that will usher us into 2019 -- which will lead us to 2020 -- the year in which much radical change has been predicted, we need to start thinking younger in a hurry. Which begs the question, how can we open to growing younger?

How can we be open to growing younger?

I have found only one method of growing younger which is to look at the change through the eyes of our trusted younger mentors. Using their eyes and minds we can quickly grow younger in ours and better understand the change that is upon us.  To younger minds it is not change, it is simply their understanding of the present problems. Our resistance to change is caused by the necessary mind shift we must make to view clearly what has changed. These younger mentors eyes come with a clear understanding of present digital dynamics which makes these mentors indispensable in our acceptance of change.  BTW most of my younger mentors have their own trusted younger mentors and they tell me, "You will not believe what these Kids are thinking". In the ongoing struggle for Open in our changing connection communities, we need to Open 2019 sharing through the eyes of those who have grown up and only know the digital era.

This post on LinkedIn has been very well received and will allow you a peek at an open world through our younger mentors' eyes.
