I'm gonna have to stew on this for a bit before I think I can truly understand the shift. But I would on first blush disagree to some extent. I feel like the blah of the current decade is more atributable to the fact that few organizations truly maximize their potential for managing information effectively, and executing based upon that management. Most companies are still run very very poorly, and most knowledge workers are ill equipped, either by skill or environment, to truly do their best work.

But the fact that I started that thought with "I feel" means that I'm probably more in agreement with the author than not.
