No, I hadn’t heard of the concept by that name. Building an organization requires focus which is often indistinguishable from obstinacy. Henry Ford was a classic example. Human nature is the constant amidst any changes that will come down the pike, and that can be planned for in many ways which lead to market awareness and then to market acceptance.
I propose that “Build it and they will come (and buy)” be revised to “Build it, lead them to it, and they will come and buy”. How fast that can be accomplished in our case is purely speculative at this point.
