Love It! Congrats so much! Rita's is the #1 expert in innovation and is validated an insightful philisopher and diligent scholar of business leadership development techniques who adapted the idea of inflection points to the realities of the today's fast-faced corporate world known for its brutal competetion, however with Rita, it also brings tremendous rewards to those who approached the matter with knowledge such as she has developed. Totaly recomend.
I am loving this interaction so much as I am an Engineer in Electronics with a master in system process controls and now working in healthcare using my systems-re-engineering concepts in the healthcare industry. I am interested in connecting and furthering my expertise with experts like you guys. Is there any possibility to join a research team of organizational re-engineering studies if they exist.
Great conversation. I stumbled on this hidden gem after finishing Richard's book. I've just purchased Seeing Around Corners to learn more of your ideas.
Dear Rita, thank you for sharing the interview. I would also like to express my thanks to Zeynep for sharing her valuable research and insights on the crucial aspects of pay and employment. Your contributions are appreciated. 🙏
Wonderful discussion between two fantastic thought-leaders! So eye-opening yet common-sensical (if one takes a moment to stop allowing conventional wisdom inertia to drive management decisions). "Blindingly obvious", indeed!... I hope this chat helps push leaders to accept the call-to-action to challenge the status quo. Keep up the great work, Rita and Zeynep!
Things have a constituent envelope. Continuous innovation does not change the choice architecture. Discontinuous innovations are based on a new theory, different choices and the choice architecture would be different.
Choice architecture is a learned behavior. Epistemic cultures are taught by practitioners. Actually, that culture drives the use cases, requirements, and its user interfaces. Choice architecture underlies all.
The first thing is a hyperbolic subset. More of it becomes a normal distribution. That normal population grows, so that normal distribution, that more of more becomes a spherical distribution. These distributions, these spaces, act differently, particularly their populations.
@@rgmcgrath Yes, I am familiar with Bent's work from my time at Copenhagen Business School having dappled in solution selling of large scale projects, particularly when I was working with IBM. I am well, having closed my chapter in China and semiretired in Penang, Malaysia. However, I miss the intellectual stimulation of academic colleagues, so your potcasts become a welcome distraction:). Enjoy your work very much!!!
Mr Stadler is, in my opinion, not able to formulate clearly some simple (but important) ideas. He also does not answer any of the questions in a meaningful, comprehensive way. Excellent questions and interesting points made by Mrs McGrath.
Regarding construction vs assembly, I think people are getting sick and tired of copy-paste LEGO-style residential buildings popping up everywhere. Doesn't chime well with Flyvbjerg acknowledgment of the artist/architect in charge / vision. But maybe he is a bit too amoured of the "starchitecht" figure (ie Gehry) and a bit out of touch of what the public prefers (over time). Otherwise good discussion.
Thanks for the comments - there are always tradeoffs with these things. I think if it makes the difference between affordable construction and not, people will be open to less architectural whizz bang.
Here's some consequences: Fewer children mean less crime, since the bulk of serious crimes are committed by younger people. This will translate into smaller public safety expenditures for police and prisons. Also, fewer children translates into less public spending for the educational infrastructure. With fewer children, fewer homes and multi-family housing units outside big metropolitan areas will be built, which means less expenditure on the infrastructure around real estate developments. Fewer streets and highways will be built. The public sector as we know it will contract. War, in the sense we now understand it will most likely fade away, since you need young people to fight wars. On the other hand, more public expenditures will needed to take care of an increasingly older population. AI and robotics will help take care of the elderly. Japan is leading in this field
The message at the end of video, goes right to the point as an extra bonus Actually, it explains practical constraints for getting to diversity. Great insight and advise.
With the exception of the rule concerning breaking the rules, that in many occassions are built by others putting you at a disadvantage, i find the other rules really depict a very, very old and very ineffective way to be a leader. People are not stupid and can, at least in the long term, see if someone is a fraud even if he/she has the best marketing in the world. In addition , introverts that do not like to network relentlessly have proven to be excellent leaders. They certainly have their place in our society that must be respected and from which we could all learn a lot. The opinion to use power like Trump and others did, just shows how some people age not well, exactly as their ideas....
