Righttrack's Sarah
Goodfellow examines the balance between manager and leader.
Righttrack's Derek West
explores the pitfalls of corporate values, vision and mission
statements and how to create ones that can really work.
Experiential learning scenarios often
place participants in imaginary extreme situations. Jon
Davies comments on the link with the Chilean miners rescue.
The Innovator's Dilemma, first published in
1997, is of particular interest to those with an involvement in
new product development and business strategy. The
central idea is that outstanding companies that do lots of things
right - are in tune with the competition, listen to customers and
focus on developing new technology - can still lose their market
leading position when faced with a disruptive change in
technology or market structure."
