We know what they mean now, when they say “Where did the time go?” Social Fabric is now in it’s 11th (yes, 10th when this post first appeared) year of helping businesses grow.  We’ve been that steady hand working with both the big organisations and those maverick entrepreneurs – ensuring they stay innovative, social, and happy.

Looking back, here’s 11 of our favourite quotes from some popular posts:

“..In order to make love they’ll have to plug you in…”

from Electronic Organs

“Houston, we may have a problem.”

from Nature Deficit Disorder

“Your friend’s friend’s friend can have an impact on you.”

from Beautiful Nodes

“On the ring (or on the ramp) it’s fellas like George Foreman and Tony Hawk who are innovative enough to know an opportunity when they see one.”

from Mental Fitness

“We may find ourselves constantly switched on to satisfy our insatiable appetite for speed and keeping (or looking?) busy.”

from Need for Speed 

“It is not in debate if there will be a trillionaire, but only who it will be and when”

from Who Wants to Be a Trillionaire

“…Many of us at the moment, are spending money we don’t have, on things we don’t want, in order to impress people we don’t like.”

from Michael Sandel on Markets & Values

“There is something about moral culpability that shifts when someone is alive versus when they are six feet in the ground”

from Black, Saville, & Armstrong

“I hear a global murmur with a sensuous slur of s’s concerning social media, social space, social capital, social innovation, social business, social change, social design, social this, social that, social me, social you, and just plain ol’ social.  What exactly are all these voices saying?  Pretty much all the same thing.”

from Social Something

“While many are now fasting for Ramadan, us other less fortunate creatures, continue to suffer a serious affliction: deficiency in time.”

from Time Famine

“The common characteristics for all [holacratic organisations] includes working in a fashion that is decentralised, self-organising and with distributed authority.  Permitting quick and effective decision making, these models are not fans of job titles but of versatile and changing functions”

From Better Ways of Working

And with that, here’s looking to the next decade of helping organisations gain a healthy appetite for change.
