Amidst the terrible, unimaginable destruction and loss in Los Angeles, the Getty stands.

Within each of its two buildings, an invaluable art collection is preserved, and the Getty Center could reopen as soon as January 21.

Business leaders might consider The Getty as a kind of case study.

It seems this story is more than one of disaster preparedness (although, YES), but an example of the superb use of tools and technology, competencies and strengths, and strategic processes – applied foresight, direct team member participation, prior experience used for learning, assimilation of a multitude of factors into a cohesive readiness — that allowed the museum to remain unscathed as a red ring of flames encircled.

The Getty didn’t try to control the possibility of fire.

They anticipated it.
