Great accomplishments start with great aspirations.
Gary Hamel
There is no way to create wealth without ideas. Most new ideas are created by newcomers. So anyone who thinks the world is safe for incumbents is dead wrong.
Gary Hamel
In the age of revolution you have to be able to imagine revolutionary alternatives to the status quo. If you can't, you'll be relegated to the swollen ranks of keyboard-pounding automatons.
Gary Hamel
In a world of commoditized knowledge, the returns go to the companies who can produce non-standard knowledge.
Gary Hamel
In a well-functioning democracy, citizens have the option of voting their political masters out of office. Not so in most companies.
Gary Hamel
Perseverance may be just as important as speed in the battle for the future.
Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel
Influence is like water. Always flowing somewhere.
Gary Hamel
Are we changing as fast as the world around us?
Gary Hamel
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.
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
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.
Gary Hamel
In the age of revolution it is not knowledge that produces new wealth, but insight - insight into opportunities for discontinuous innovation. Discovery is the journey insight is the destination. You must become your own seer.
Gary Hamel
Over the centuries, religion has become institutionalized, and in the process encrusted with elaborate hierarchies, top-heavy bureaucracies, highly specialized roles and reflexive routines.
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
Most of us understand that innovation is enormously important. It's the only insurance against irrelevance. It's the only guarantee of long-term customer loyalty. It's the only strategy for out-performing a dismal economy.
Gary Hamel
From Gandhi to Mandela, from the American patriot to the Polish shipbuilders, the makers of revolutions have not come from the top.
Gary Hamel
Most companies don't have the luxury of focusing exclusively on innovation. They have to innovate while stamping out zillions of widgets or processing billions of transactions.
Gary Hamel
All too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.
Gary Hamel
Remarkable contributions are typically spawned by a passionate commitment to transcendent values such as beauty, truth, wisdom, justice, charity, fidelity, joy, courage and honor.
