This is the inaugural posting on our weblog. In this space you will be hearing from Adam Hartung . In this space, I will be exploring many different ideas about what it will take to succeed in the new economy. Adam brings a strategist’s perspectives to this dialogue.
Through these postings I hope to educate, disrupt, amuse, and provoke our readers. The topics about which I write are perhaps the most important facing business managers in today’s economy. They need to be discussed, debated, and acted on.
Here’s some starters. I think the author Jim Collins is all wet and we’ll tell you why. I think Clayton Christenson has a terrific point of view but I disagree with him in a profound way. In general, I believe that business leaders don’t know what to do to prosper in today’s economy, and most of what they’re doing not only doesn’t help, but actually accelerates their company’s demise.
I have strong points of view, but don’t pretend to think that I’m right—I simply think my models and lines of thought are very useful, while most historical management models are not because they were created for different conditions in a completely different time.
I am eager to stimulate a rich dialogue and encourage you to share your thoughts. Thank you!
