Exploit innovation - Thrive on disruption - Decide with confidence

Transform & Choose Success

"The most dangerous decision-making fallacy is that informed decision-makers will naturally make better, more objective decisions. Making consistently timely, effective, informed decisions takes hard work. Trust me – it’s worth it.  Effective decision-making is the essential common ingredient behind every successful step, initiative, and strategy that people, organizations, and national governments undertake."

    What are business disruptions?

    The term ‘disruption’ has become a bucket word holding many imprecise concepts and definitions. That’s unfortunate because the fate of many established businesses (incumbents) will depend on their ability to identify, cope with, and exploit disruptive changes. Compounding these challenges is the accelerating pace of technological progress, which guarantees increasing disruptions across markets in the years ahead. Characteristics of disruptions Incumbents continue to face si

    Disruptions, decisions, and leadership

    Change is a constant in business, but not all changes are created equal. Executives and senior managers are usually most concerned about disruptive changes. They speak of difficulties identifying emerging disruptions and the risks of waiting too long to respond. It’s not surprising because, while disruptions are easy to see in hindsight, they’re difficult to identify prospectively. Predicting and respondign to emerging disruptions demands good judgment, courage, and leadershi

    Walmart, Guns and Disruptions

    Disruptions can make or break organizations and their leaders. If you lead or hope to lead in a competitive environment, then coping with and exploiting disruptions will be critical to your success. Innovations, technologies, and events are disruptive when they fundamentally change an aspect of business, markets, and competition. Innovative technologies are common enablers of disruptions, while innovative business models are frequently the driving force behind them. Disru

    Innovations, disruptions, business and war

    Innovative technologies possess disruptive capacity but are rarely disruptive on their own. Disruptions occur at the intersection of technological innovations, strategy, and business models. The challenge has been to accurately predict and recognize their disruptive potential. It’s no easy feat. Technological innovations often disrupt some businesses and business models, while marginally affecting others. Some are disruptive from the moment they are introduced, while oth

    Making sense of artificial intelligence

    When new technologies emerge, visionaries and early adopters often present expectations, assumptions and unproven hypotheses as facts. Marketing and sales presentations similarly obscure their differences, but facts can be stubborn things. While it’s a foregone conclusion that artificial intelligence and smart technologies will disrupt businesses and markets, their specific impacts will be revealed over time. There is much that even the best minds in technology don’t know

    Getting smart about Artificial Intelligence

    One of my primary functions is helping our clients cope and thrive amid disruptive change. In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest hot topic in technology and business. Our conversations with business owners, executives and managers suggest that they are struggling to understand how to leverage AI technologies to improve their competitive position. They’ve also expressed concerns over threats from new and emerging competitors who may be better prepared

    Giving strategy its due in the digital age

    Disruptive technological innovations usually affect business models before companies appreciate their strategy implications. Innovative technologies can lower costs, improve quality, change value propositions and change customer preferences. Companies in affected industries generally respond by upgrading their systems and processes. Market pressures and operational considerations drive these changes, with limited strategic guidance. Analysts often miss this important point an

    It's in the genes

    Our analysis of technology’s impact on the Healthcare and Fitness industries has focused on devices, software and systems. In this post, we shift our attention to gene slicing as a tool to identify and prioritize personal health risks. This technology builds on the sequencing of the human genome, which is the complete sequence of nucleic acid encoded as DNA. The initial effort to map the human genome, the Human Genome Project, was undertaken by a collaborative international
