The only thing that can be safely predicted is that sometime soon your organization will be challenged to change in ways for which it has no precedent.
Gary Hamel

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
Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.
Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel
An uplifting sense of purpose is more than an impetus for individual accomplishment, it is also a necessary insurance policy against expediency and impropriety.
Gary Hamel
You can't use an old map to see a new land.
Gary Hamel
Are we changing as fast as the world around us?
Gary Hamel
One way of building private foresight out of public data is looking where others aren't ... if you want to see the future, go to an industry confab and get the list of what was talked about. Then ask, What did people never talk about? That's where you're going to find opportunity.
Gary Hamel
Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
Gary Hamel
In a world of commoditized knowledge, the returns go to the companies who can produce non-standard knowledge.
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
Perseverance may be just as important as speed in the battle for the future.
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.
