Conventional wisdom will generate conventional success.

If you are in this room, you need to deliver outsized success.  
To do that, you will need to allocate resources ahead of conventional wisdom​.  
Conventional wisdom will generate conventional success and that won’t allow you to stay in this room.  
You need to have courage and be bold.
And when you do that, you may fail.
BUT.  
If you fail, I will back you if, and only if, you are “intellectually honest”.
