Business continuity quotations...
Business continuity planning wisdom “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow." “Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.” “It is far better to foresee even without certainty than not to foresee at all.” “A clever arrangement of bad eggs will never make a good omelette.” “To be a leader is to be awake and alert, to be dissatisfied at all times”.
“Complexity creates confusion, simplicity focus.” “Our life is frittered away by detail.. simplicity simplicity, simplicity.” “It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.” Peter Senge “If there is a way to do it better... find it!”
“The goal of strategic planning is to produce a stream of wise decisions... it also accepts the possibility that the final product may not resemble what was initially intended”.
“Everything important is already known, the only thing is to rediscover it.” Anon “The faithful witness, like…Socrates, Voltaire, and Swift and Christ himself, is at his best when he is questioning and clarifying and avoiding the specialist's obsession with solution. He betrays society when he is silent…He is true to himself and to people when his clarity causes disquiet.” “When I was young I thought that people at the top really understood what the hell was happening…now I know they don't know.” “How many times have we brought in an outsider to tell us what we already knew?” “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it… unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” “Innovators are seldom easy to be around. The most creative members of an organization can be irascible, annoying, touchy, intolerant, prickly, self aggrandizing. Their lack of tact offends coworkers. It also makes them willing to speak up when other hold their tongues. What comes out of their mouths is often quite valuable, if not always easy to hear.'
“You cannot carry out fundamental changes without a certain amount of madness. In any case it comes from non - conformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen.”
