Gary Hamel Quotes

A good strategy with a bad implementation is a bad strategy

**New business concepts are always, always the product of lucky foresight.**That's right - the essential insight doesn't come out of any dirigiste planning process; it comes form some cocktail of happenstance, desire, curiosity, ambition and need. But at the end of the day, there has to be a degree of foresight -- a sense of where new riches lie. So radical innovation is always one part fortuity and one part clearheaded vision.[first-line bold by author][2002] p.23

... all too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.[2002] p.46
