We allow ourselves the pleasure of uncertainty and exploration. We acknowledge the mutability of knowledge and enjoy an adaptive approach to problem solving.We prefer being industry outsiders; it lets us test the counterintuitive ideas that insiders can’t.We build de novo capabilities; these become the accumulated advantages that endure the next business cycle disruption.
