game changing

From someone's blog: http://michaelmartino.ca/change-your-game-learning-from-moneyball

Moneyball questions the establishment. It says the wisdom of baseball insiders over the past century is subjective and flawed. Statistics such as stolen bases, runs batted in, and batting average, typically used to gauge players, are a 19th century view of the game.

By re-evaluating the strategies that produce wins on the field, the 2002 Oakland Athletics, with a payroll of $41 million, were competitive with larger market teams such as the New York Yankees, who spent over $125 million. 

Several themes the movie touches on are: 

• insiders vs. outsiders (established traditionalists vs. upstarts)
• the democratization of information, and
• the ruthless drive for efficiency.

We’ve entered into a new world of winners and losers. Trying to play the game with old strategies in this new era will make you a loser. Your business will die.

You have to be smarter than the competition. Hard work is not enough - you need an edge.

How can you question the establishment and win?
