True, but will a name change increase growth?
The bottom line is I am fine with accepting whatever the group wants on
this, but I don't want our institutional momentum to prevent a change
if a change is overall beneficial. Institutional momentum can be a very
dangerous thing. I am sure we have all seen its effects.
I think one of our big strengths is a lack of institutional friction in
forward momentum.
