Let me quote Christensen, from a 2004 Gartner interview: “The evidence really is strong that when a corporation needs that new business to get very big, very fast, they won’t allow it to take that time on the runway—the time to make sure it’s headed in the right direction. They just force it to take off very quickly and almost always, it fails.”
Precisely what we’re doing with the Internet. This is a time of disruptive innovation and some investment in security groundwork is sorely needed. CEOs, let me give it to you straight: You aren’t spending enough money.
