"As a strategic weapon, time is the equivalent of money, productivity, quality, even innovation."

"Rather than being an obstacle, uncertainty is the very engine of transformation in a business, a continuous source of new opportunities." "IP assets lack clear property lines. Every bit of intellectual property you can own comes with connections to other valuable innovations."
