“With the level of uncertainty we see today, more people are asking,
              how can you develop a strategy in a world that keeps changing so
                fast?  They are afraid that a set of rigid principles will hinder their
              ability to react quickly.  I argue that it is precisely at such times that
                                              you need a strategy.”
