"Our job is to anticipate that world and be ready for it, and that's part of trying to ensure that world will in some form arrive. If you wait for the world to get perfect and then want to answer it, you are part of the problem stopping it becoming - it won't be perfect, but - not disastrous. That's why you're professionals. You are a body who are paid to have judgment. . . . . You're people that think about the future. You actually get trained and paid for it. That's what clients pay us for - is to make professional judgment. That's what we should relish, and anticipate what we need to be . . . . " - Keith Clarke |
