While business leaders are always worried about disruption, the reality is that companies have more time to react than they think and that an effective response is available to them. Too often, companies respond to the fear of disruption by taking random actions aimed at catching up to competitors or by postponing investments because they fear the outcomes won't be relevant.

But again and again, we resist looking him in the eye, fearful of how powerful he is. We're afraid that like the gorgon, he will turn us to stone.
