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

Only stupid questions create wealth.

Discovery is the journey; insight is the destination.

Somewhere out there is a bullet with your company's name on it. Somewhere out there is a competitor, unborn and unknown, that will render your strategy obsolete. You can't dodge the bullet – you're going to have to shoot first. You're going to have to out-innovate the innovators.

Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.

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

Alan Kay's famous aphorism is that perspective is worth 80 IQ points. An innovative insight is not the product of an individual's brilliance. It's not as if innovators' heads are wired in different ways. Innovation typically comes from looking at the world through a slightly different lens.
