The Big Themes:
- Digital question marks left and right: It’s the old Boston Consulting Group matrix. Figuring out how to regenerate and develop their future cash cows.
- Everybody’s innovative: Most firms are incrementally innovative vs. transformationally innovative. To create this muscle allows me to keep up with the market.
- The path to extinction: The withering on the vine is pretty apparent. Can these leaders be bold enough to say the very things that take their companies down a different path?
- We started with this notion of the word: The word is “I.” An incredibly powerful word but where does “I” come from?
The Big Quote: “In terms of universal truth, this is one that struck me as something I’ve encountered quite a bit in the last number of weeks.”
