At its heart, business model innovation is about change. It’s a way for businesses to look at what they do and ask, “Can we do this differently?” This isn’t just about adding a new product or tweaking a service; it’s about shaking up how a business operates from the ground up. Why? Because the world doesn’t stand still.

Often, when trying to make progress towards an innovative challenge there are thousands of things you could be doing. Examined individually, each of these actions look like they could bring you closer to your end goal. Or worse, they may each be different goals which all seem equally appealing and worth putting effort into. However, if they are each taking up your time and effort, the result is often time working ineffectively, working towards targets which are not aligned and where you end the

John Lennon wrote that life is what happens when you're planning other things and truer words were never spoken. We live life in the moment and moments are dictated by events. That’s why so many change efforts fail, because they do what feels good, choosing to signal identity rather than leverage shared values. Never underestimate the primordial need to signal identity.

In my last two blogs, I made the argument that given how fast change is happening, your strategy must incorporate and address external change and the ability to change internally. Otherwise, you are creating strategy that ignores exceptionally powerful forces that are creating change and shifting the competitive markets in real time. In the more recent blog, I wrote about what I consider the most difficult thing to change in an organization - its culture.

Many leaders want to be allies for underrepresented groups, but fear their attempts will be awkward or offensive. New research suggests these fears are often unfounded, with acts of allyship generally being appreciated more than anticipated.

One would think that if you run a traditional consumer business that can’t compete on costs with more efficient competitors, you would want to avoid them like the plague.

Multitasking is often a skill identified with a highly productive person, yet today our use of technology has pushed multitasking to ridiculous levels. As you know, it has gotten so bad that we’ve had to pass laws to do less of it, and now research indicates that rather than increasing productivity, it could be harming us. As an expert in strategy development for more than 20 years, I have had a front row seat to how this trend has impaired strategic thinking too.
