Quotes in the Spirit of "Hit ‘Em Where They Ain’t" Week

To wrap up “Hit ‘Em Where They Ain’t Week,” here are strategy quotes that reflect Wee Willie Keeler’s competitive perspective:

  • "Resist the Usual" - Raymond Rubicam

  • “Successful business strategy is about actively shaping the game you play, not just playing the game you find.” - Adam Brandenburger & Barry Nalebuff

  • “Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing to perform activities differently or to perform different activities than rivals to deliver a unique mix of value.” - Michael Porter

  • “Strategy used to be about protecting existing competitive advantage, but not any more. Today it is about finding the next advantage.” - Vijay Govindarajan, Chris Trimble

  • “K is for Keeler
    As fresh as green paint
    The fustest and mostest
    To hit where they ain't.” - Ogden Nash
