Strategy, Innovation, Entrepreneurship And The End of Competitive Advantage

In this week’s episode of The Future of Work podcast, I interview Rita McGrath, Professor at Columbia Business School, author, speaker and consultant. I believe this podcast will prove to be a very good overview for people that are interested in management and innovation, and how they are evolving and changing. Rita is on the front line of these events because she not only teaches on this, but she works with a lot of organizations. We talk about venture capital and funding and how innovation is changing. We look at the competitive advantage and Rita's counter-intuitive approach, which is that competitive advantage is actually dead. She introduces several new concepts and methods for organizations to sustain their strategy, and to scale and sustain innovation. Different aspects of the future of work also are explored, wrapping up with Rita sharing her advice to organizations— and individuals as well — who are looking to adapt to the changes that we are seeing.
