Free Webinar On Business Model Challenges and Innovation
Business Model Erosion and Innovation to combat this phenomenon is very much a topic of concern for strategists and innovators. In this free half-hour webinar sponsored by Columbia Business School Executive Education, I reflect on some of the ways in which companies need to become alert to the potential erosion of a business model. Have a look! Feedback always welcome.

Hans Rosling’s thought provoking analysis of economic development
Back in May, I was fortunate enought to attend the Microsoft CEO Summit, a world-class gathering of corporate leaders from all over the world. One of the presentations that made a big splash was by Hans Rosling, a Swedish academic who studies issues of health and population. Hans Rosling's fascinating presentation is now available for anyone to see in video form (click on the link to open the video).
What I find particularly fascinating about his work is how much, in the past 200 years, business has contributed to making people healthier and wealthier.

Video about “Leading Strategic Growth and Change” now up on YouTube
Leading Strategic Growth and Change is a week-long Columbia Executive Education program that I direct. The course content, as you might guess, covers innovation, how to drive growth, how to lead change, organizational politics, better decision-making and a whole lot of other ideas that help people think more positively and constructively about the volatile competitive environments we all face. I'm delighted to say that a new video about the course is now up on YouTube - check it out.
For those not familiar with executive programs, these are typically short, non-degree granting programs that can be a major turning point in your professional life. They are great for content, for networking and for gaining time to think, that most rare of commodities.
