Toyota hired Deming to train hundreds of the company’s managers, eventually capitalizing on his expertise to develop the famous Toyota Production System — the primary source of today’s “lean” thinking.

When Jobs returned in 1998 he restructured his team with senior managers who possessed a rich mix of strong discovery- and delivery-driven skills, and as a result the company churned out hit after hit, from the iMac and iTunes to the iPad, iPhone, and iPad. Jobs did this when he saw the mouse and graphical user interface (GUI) at PARC.

Rational managers for the past thirty years have tightly focused on efficiency, cost cutting, and day-to-day execution — perhaps to a fault.

No surprise, then, that it poses serious challenges for the health care systems, pension schemes, and public debt management of modern societies. This is surprisingly old — such levels were reached in Japan from 1999–2003 and in Germany from 2001–2004. Opening to other Asian economies was also part of the strategy.

In the book we're working on right now, we make the argument that capitalism is evolving because the environment in which it is situated is changing in fundamental ways.

The original Napster was shut down in 2001, but its P2P heirs continue to share pirated files, and it paved the way for the rise of iTunes and Pandora — and the fall of Tower Records. The real scandal might just be this: There are few secrets bigger and more terrible than the ones that are hiding in plain sight.

In my four decades as a senior manager, CEO, and corporate director of American high-tech companies, I have never seen the state of innovation in the U.S. What is most telling is the restrictive and uncreative cultural climates created by CEOs and other senior managers.

Today’s successful companies close the strategy-to-performance gap with a new strategy approach best described as “Decide-Do/Refine-Do” This agile, test-and-learn approach is better suited to today’s tumultuous environment.

Microsoft is in the supposedly volatile technology sector. They’ve missed almost every technological breakthrough of the past decade — and yet they earned $237 billion in operating income from 2001 to 2013 working off a strategy that was in place in the mid-1990s. Empirically, this is simply not true.

The Enron scandals of 2001 and 2002 focused only upon cooked books audit committees and deal making. It was very ‘old school’ (a management style that was 40 years obsolete), though it pretended to be ‘new school.’ It charged too much money and got away with it (because mid-managers but brand names of firms).

Business thinkers point to "domain expertise" as an enduring source of advantage in today's competitive environment.

In the early days, a management consultant used the familiar chiefs/Indians line to predict they’d fail. If the structure of the management committee was a problem, they would have failed by now.
