Heard on the Street - Discovery Driven Planning Changes Leadership Decisions - at Harvard, no less!
One of our dear colleagues at Wharton happened to be teaching at a conference up at Harvard Business School. He was kind enough to report the following exchange to us:
Dear Mac -
I just came back from a long conference at HBS that included a lot of business people and HBS alumni. The discussion came up about best advice for pushing their leadership team, and one of the business people said, “Well, this discovery-driven planning program that I participated in taught me that I needed a new CFO because the one I had wasn’t flexible enough. So I’d recommend that.”
Our friend continues: “As you might imagine, the HBS moderator didn’t follow up that line of discussion.”
