Gary Hamel
Your organization can start tweeting, but that wont change its DNA.
Gary Hamel
Out there in some garage is an entrepreneur who's forging a bullet with your company's name on it. You've got one option now - to shoot first. You've got to out innovate the innovators.
Gary Hamel
In an ideal world, an individual's institutional power would be correlated perfectly with his or her value-add. In practice, this is seldom the case.
Gary Hamel
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.
Gary Hamel
Like a child star whose fame fades as the years advance, many once-innovative companies become less so as they mature.
Gary Hamel
This extraordinary arrogance that change must start at the top is a way of guaranteeing that change will not happen in most companies.
Gary Hamel
Strategy is, above all else, the search for above average returns.
