It's important to remember that innovators in business don't always get a platform.

All too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.

In an increasingly non-linear economy, incremental change is not enough-you have to build a capacity for strategy innovation, one that increases your ability to recognize new opportunities.

In most companies, the formal hierarchy is a matter of public record - it's easy to discover who's in charge of what. By contrast, natural leaders don't appear on any organization chart.

There's a simple, but oft-neglected lesson here: to sustain success, you have to be willing to abandon things that are no longer successful.

Online hierarchies are inherently dynamic. The moment someone stops adding value to the community, his influence starts to wane.

The biggest barriers to strategic renewal are almost always top management's unexamined beliefs.
