Disrupt this, Starbucks!

A lot of very interesting discussion is occurring around the leaked memo from Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz.

One of the best posts on the topic has got to be by Paul with Anti-Marketing.

Howard seems to realize that his brand is seriously at risk, but how will Starbucks respond?

Perhaps the better question is a more personal one. Is your business ready for disruption?
