Michael Porter On Strategy (Again)
If you haven’t read this Fast Company interview with Harvard Professor and business strategy guru Michael Porter, you should … if not for your own business acumen, then for the fact that the senior leaders of your organization (and likely your internal clients), probably will.
The error that some managers make is that they see all of the change and all of the new technology out there, and they say, "God, I've just got to get out there and implement like hell." They forget that if you don't have a direction, if you don't have something distinctive at the end of the day, it's going to be very hard to win. They don't understand that you need to balance the internal juxtaposition of change and continuity.
