Successful innovators are..not risk-focused; they are opportunity focused.

No other area offers richer opportunities for successful innovation than the unexpected success.

Progress is obtained only by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems. When you solve problems, all you do is guarantee a return to normalcy.

It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem - which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday.

Most organizations staff their problems & starve their opportunities.

Innovation opportunities do not come with the tempest but with the rustling of the breeze.

Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.

Don't solve problems. Pursue opportunities.

Innovation requires us to systematically identify changes that have already occurred in a business - in demographics, in values, in technology or science - and then to look at them as opportunities. It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.
