For years, when I spoke with CEOs or senior leaders, it was because they were interested in how my consulting firm could help their employees become more engaged, or innovative, or sustainably high-performing. At times, I know my colleagues felt intimidated and discounted, rather than inspired and empowered. Self-control.

These dynamics make it hard for teams to recognize or to be fully cognizant of new disruptive challenges, while also stifling the creative innovation that is necessary to proactively confront such challenges.

However, many investors seem to have concluded that the most successful companies with tens of billions of dollars of valuation today could never have justified their valuation at the start of their operation based on discounted cash flow.

This pushes back the assault and, with the right customer targeting, can protect the more valuable segments of the business. At the very least, it can buy time while management sorts out the right comprehensive response. Instead, the company was finally sold at a deep discount under financial distress. Of course not.

The 15-word constraint is a test that often reveals a profound lack of alignment among managers. The trouble is that managers then interpret the 100 pages according to their view and aspiration of the company’s strategy. Many people believe that its success is rooted in its business model; others point to the service experience.

By contrast, for corporate innovators each idea needs to carry its own weight. Ideas with positive discounted cash flows get investment.
