I'm a capitalist by conviction and profession. I believe the best economic system is one that rewards entrepreneurship and risk-taking, maximizes customer choice, uses markets to allocate scarce resources and minimizes the regulatory burden on business.

Businesses fail when they over-invest in what is at the expense of what could be.

To be embraced, a change effort must be socially constructed in a process that gives everyone the right to set priorities, diagnose barriers, and generate options.

For every person who can imagine a possibility there are tens of thousands who are stuck in the greased grooves of history.

For the first time in history we can work backward from our imagination rather than forward from our past.
