A consultant asked me the following question: I often do work that is difficult to scope at the outset. I get the value (no pun intended) in the pricing structures you recommend, but in my circumstance a fixed price seems very risky. What’s the best way to package and price my services? What advice would you give this consultant? Do you face a similar situation and, if so, how do you price your offering?

While the retail industry crisis has been well-reported, particularly with respect to dwindling foot traffic to brick-and-mortar stores. However, even as consumers turn to shopping online and via mobile devices in droves, it’s shocking to learn that fully 97% of visitors to eCommerce and other sales-minded sites bail out without purchasing on their first visit.

Aiming to jump start innovation in your organization? Go climb a mountain. Innovation is a necessity, a way of life for mountaineers. Climbers plan meticulously then innovate their way through unexpected challenges to reach a summit. With only the limited equipment on their backs, they improvise and flex, intuitively and decisively, as conditions change.

It’s not how hard you fall, but how you pick yourself up that really matters. That is what we learned from 9000+ responses to our HBR survey on bouncing back from career setbacks. Resilience alone won’t cut it—you need to do some serious self-reflection. We worked with Douglas (Tim) Hall , a leading expert on careers, and his doctoral student Lan Wang of Boston University’s School of Management to analyze the data about how managers said they recovered.

That takes a highly effective communication tool. Oh, we already have that, you might say: email. Email is indeed good for enabling employees to communicate with colleagues they already know.

Scale isn’t what it used to be. It’s never been easier to start a company , and as a result new entrants are unbundling incumbents’ businesses and chipping away at their advantage. Upstarts like The Honest Company, Warby Parker, and Airbnb are able to quickly win market share from leading businesses like Procter and Gamble, Luxotica, and Starwood Hotels by decomposing markets into highly customized niches so that the incumbents can’t compete on scale alone.

The private equity industry has grown markedly in the last 20 years and we know more than we used to about its effects on the economy.

Winchester House in San Jose, California, was once the residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Winchester.

Kenneth Andersson. Bertice Jenson couldn’t believe how shameless they were. Right in front of her in the Benjy’s superstore in Oklahoma City, a young couple pointed a smartphone at a Samsung 50-inch Ultra HD TV and then used an app to find an online price for it. They did the same for a Sony and an LG LED model, as the Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz danced across all three screens. “Excuse me,” Bertice said. “I see what you’re doing.

If you’re a manager in a knowledge-driven industry, chances are you’re an expert in the area you manage. Try to imagine a leader without this expertise doing your job. You’ll probably conclude it couldn’t be done. But as your career advances, at some point you will be promoted into a job which includes responsibility for areas outside your specialty.

Over the past decade, a staggering number of studies have demonstrated that our work performance plummets when we work prolonged periods without a break.
