Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“In terms of business resilience, it's important to have the ability to repurpose inputs and redirect outputs. It's important to have a good amount of flexibility designed into the businesses operating systems. When a business can answer the if this then that question over and over again with different fill in the blanks, it's got resilience.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“Because the exponential distribution is so mathematically convenient, it is tempting to use it even when it is not appropriate.”
