Description

In this final of a 4-part episode, Rita McGrath discusses her upcoming book focused on how organisations can design structures that empower decision-making at all levels, embracing a 'permissionless' approach to innovation. She elaborates on the importance of engaging disengaged workforces and optimising for transient competitive advantages. Rita provides insightful tactics for assessing competitive landscapes, using various strategies like onslaughts, guerrilla campaigns, feints, and gambits. She also touches on leadership practices for fostering innovation, including managing personal agendas, devoting time to new ventures, and employing a range of leadership practices to navigate uncertainty and encourage a culture of opportunity-seeking within organisations. Rita advocates for 'intelligent failure' and explores how technology can redefine management to promote human flourishing at work. The episode concludes with an insight into her new book's core thesis, aiming for a release in 2024 or 2025.   00:00 Welcome & Introduction to Rita McGrath's Insights 00:16 Sneak Peek: Rita McGrath's Upcoming Book on Organisational Design 00:57 Decoding Competitive Strategies and Responses 03:53 Exploring Competitive Moves: Onslaughts to Guerrilla Campaigns 09:35 The Art of Feints and Gambits in Business Strategy 14:32 Entrepreneurial Leadership: Driving Innovation from the Top 22:05 Orchestrating Practices for Entrepreneurial Success 28:04 Path Clearing and Handling Failure in Entrepreneurial Ventures 40:40 Anticipating Rita McGrath's New Book & Final Thoughts   Find Rita: Find Valize: www.Valize.com   Find Aidan McCullen for Keynote talks on Innovation, Transformation and Change:   More on the Innovation Show:
