"We spend too much time perfecting assumptions for something unknowable. Three to five years out, no one can tell you what’s going to happen. But with a shorter focus—three or six months—I can show you real value and adapt from there." — Ganesh Jayaram, Chief Digital and Information Officer at American Airlines Ganesh shares a powerful reminder: in today’s fast-paced business world, success comes from focusing on short-term, tangible outcomes instead of trying to predict the future.
