Listening to: Nothing Can Wait - Op Shop

The
Innovator’s Dilemma is one of my favourite business books, so I am looking forward
to listening to this
speech this evening.

Managers have historically struggled to successfully manage innovation. They get
a bewildering array of often conflicting and confusing advice. What has been
lacking is a collection of well-grounded theories that explain the actions managers
should take in particular circumstances. Through his recent research, Professor Christensen
has developed a set of theories to help guide managers as they seek to answer seven
critical questions when trying to build new growth businesses, again and again:

• How can I beat powerful competitors?

• How can I connect with customers?

• How integrated should I be?

• How should I set strategy?

• From whom should I get funding?

• Where should the innovation reside?

• What is the role of the CEO?
