From the Author: It''s funny how seemingly unrelated experiences in one''s life ultimately reveal a common truth. When I was three years old I remember my mother frantically running around our apartment and closing windows while a TV reporter spoke about a hurricane that was approaching New York City. I remember how painful it was to learn, years later, how engineers warned NASA against launching the Challenger space shuttle. I remember that the following year a ferry capsized in the English Channel, killing nearly 200 people. The ferry''s bow doors were left open, the sea poured in, the water''s weight toppled the ferry over, all because an inexpensive safety system signaling to the captain that he should not leave the dock had not been included in the ship design. These and other events came racing back to me after the stock market crash that began in March 2000. I wanted to understand how so much corporate value and personal wealth could be eradicated virtually overnight and seemingly without warning. I thought back to the Challenger and Zeebrugge ferry disasters, recalling that before those horrific events, there was warning. I began to wonder if the same was true of business disasters; was there warning, not only before the stock market crash, but also before other business "disasters" like lost markets, failed products, and bankruptcies? Like the hurricane warning I remember and are now so common, could managers and investors be similarly warned of approaching difficulties? By studying innumerable natural and business disasters, I discovered, first, that there is always warning. Second, I discovered that there were companies today benefiting from real-time information that allowed them to avoid surprises and seize opportunities. And when I saw patterns in how successful companies were benefiting and others were failing, a book was born. Mike Fender (Jacket Design); Michael Cogliantry/Getty (Jacket Photo) (illustrator).
