关于本次演讲：
John Chambers 为思科系统公司如何将其核心企业哲学融入历久不衰的高科技成功案例，提出充分证明。Chambers 的基本原则：赶上市场变迁的脚步；提供具有丰富团队合作经验的专业人员；提供适当之基础架构；以及全力支援的政府。据 Chambers 所言，如果您在企业里，将此智慧运用于可实行的市场计划中“就像是一场多度空间棋赛”。他说，仅有偏执狂得以存活下来，而思科十年前的前十大网络 IT 竞争者已不复存在。Chambers 表示，思科十年前即已在想像一个“透过任一设备即能随时随地进行存取”的未来景象，因此“我们不仅是发展路由器和交换器，更要开发储存、无线以及资讯安全的市场”。思科也决定以客户为导向来行事，因为“如能正确倾听客户声音，将能得知市场转型的变迁”。
Chambers叙述两位Cisco 的客户在十二年前针对网络连线提到“一种名为高速乙太网络之新技术将成为未来”的想法，是如何刺激思科去取得并在之后主导该技术。Chambers说道：“如果无法成为任何业界内数一数二的佼佼者，我们就不会涉足该业界。”但Chambers预见了绊脚石，他表示在国内“我们并未提供创新的教育基础”，技术基础架构亦然。“我们在研究方面正逐渐落后，而我们必须打造一个让来自全世界的学生们感受到诚挚欢迎及‘愿意停留’的环境。”他警告：“我以身为美国人为荣，但我的工作机会将会移往具有最好的基础架构、创新能力和全力支援之政府的地方。”
John Chambers provides rich evidence of the way Cisco Systems has leveraged its core philosophy into a durable high tech success story. Chambers' basics: catching market transitions; supply an educated workforce capable of teamwork; providing the appropriate infrastructure; and supportive government. If you'e in business, working this wisdom into a viable marketplace plan "is like a multidimensional chess game," according to Chambers. Only the paranoid survive, and Cisco's top 10 network IT competitors from a decade ago are gone, he says. A decade ago, Cisco was imagining a future where there would be "access anywhere anytime via any device," so, says Chambers, "we weren't just going to build routers and switches, but went into storage, wireless, and security." Cisco also determined to be driven by the customer, because "if you listen to customers in the right way, they'll tell you what market transitions are going on."
