One of Ed's favorite quotes by Prof. Gary Hamel, December 2003:

"Strategic resilience is not about responding to a onetime crisis…it's about continuously anticipating and adjusting to deep, secular trends that can permanently impair the earning power of a core business. It's about having the capacity to change before the case for change becomes desperately obvious."
