Thought Sparks Wrap Up – November 2022

Discover This!  A collection of ideas to spark your thinking, by Rita McGrath

November Happenings 

After a two-year wait, I finally made it to Dublin to attend the Business Excellence Institute’s awards gala, at which I was inducted into their Excellence Hall of Fame.  It was held at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin – a great group of attendees and delightful conversation, topped off with a Fireside Chat.  And hey, why not have a little fun at an awards program?

We then headed to Vienna where we joined colleagues at the annual Global Peter Drucker Forum at the very glamorous Hofburg (royal palace).  A great gabfest on the topic of performance, featuring many prominent leading thinkers, and a gala dinner as well!

Ford was all-in on autonomous driving, um, until it wasn’t.

NEWS

Fun webinar with Prosymmetry – Resource Misalignment:  A Hidden Innovation Killer.  Watch the replay here.

Discovery Driven Planning – Presentation for the Business of Software Conference, including an overview of a cool new tool that we have developed (The SparcHub System).

Stop Flying Blind!  Simple interventions can immediately increase the richness of information you receive as a leader.

Roger Martin and I debate the nature of competitive advantage.  Is it transient? Yes, and no!

Tool of the month:

“Are you at risk?” Assessment

As I get back out on the road, a question that comes up a lot is how you can tell if a once-durable competitive advantage is starting to fade.  I’ve developed a short diagnostic that you can use to identify the warning signs.
