When I first started working in the area of innovation culture 15 years ago, The Innovator’s Dilemma was one of our bibles. It described how the focus, processes and reward mechanisms of managing the core business stymied companies’ ability to lean into the emerging markets and disruptive technologies that would ultimately make them irrelevant. The same tensions continue to plague organisations and leadership teams today.

FROST: The Benefits Of Going Private

FROST: Tracking The Race Tracks
Tim Frost. WILMETTE, Ill. — Each week fans travel to race tracks from coast to coast to witness numerous types of racing.
