People Are All There Is To An

It's Important To Remember That Innovators In Business Don't Always Get A Platform.

**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.

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.

As Human Beings, We Are The Only Organisms That Create For The Sheer Stupid Pleasure Of Doing So. Whether It's Laying Out A Garden, Composing A New Tune On The Piano, Writing A Bit Of Poetry, Manipulating A Digital Photo, Redecorating A Room, Or Inventing A New Chili Recipe - We Are Happiest When We Are Creating.

Most Of Us Do More Than Subsist. From The Vantage Point Of Our Ancestors, We Live Lives Of Almost Unimaginable Ease. Here Again, We Have Innovation To Thank.
