Problem: 

Sense of disorientation in the face of dramatic external changes with strong centrifugal forces tending toward dispersion

Context: 

Particularly in times of dramatic external change
past approaches appear inadequate
future directions yet unclear
loss of vision, tendency toward dispersa

Discussion: 

"We cannot escape history. We...will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us."
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."

Solution: 

Rehearse corporate history as journey of surmounting challenges toward broader goals
