Podcasts about Ambidexterity

AD: Shoptalk EuropeThis week I'm joined by Greg Merrill, the former Head of Digital Transformation at Nike, for a deep dive into what it really takes to lead change in today's fast-moving world. From his unconventional career journey to his insights on balancing innovation and operational excellence, Greg shares how transformation isn't just about technology—it's about people, strategy, and building a culture that thrives on adaptation. This episode is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss.

In this episode, we delve into the question of whether it's better to be first to market... or second. Safi Bahcall, author of "Loonshots," discusses the importance of nurturing big ideas and differentiates between product-type (P-type) and strategy-type (S-type) innovators. Through historical anecdotes and industry examples, we explore whether it's more advantageous to be first or second to market, and how to leverage your strengths for lasting success.Five Key Learnings:First vs. Second to Market:Being first isn't always an advantage. Sometimes being second allows you to learn from the first mover's experiences and refine your approach.Importance of Storytelling:Transformers succeeded partly due to a compelling narrative and superior marketing, emphasizing the power of storytelling in connecting with audiences.Innovative Blind Spots:P-type innovators can miss strategic market shifts, while S-type innovators might overlook technological advancements.Ambidexterity in Innovation:Combining product innovation with strategic innovation can significantly enhance the sustainability and reach of your ideas.Self-Awareness:Understanding your strengths and compensating for your weaknesses through complementary skills is crucial in navigating competitive markets.Get full interviews, daily episodes, guides, Q&A segments, and more at DailyCreative.app.Mentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!

Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg and Benchwarmer Emeritus Dan Lundberg returned to the Bench for this Scott-hosted game. During this game, Scott appeased Matt with some old-school baseball names, autocorrect posed an alternate name for a podcast favorite for when they are slightly less than hot on the court, Dan stated "This is dumb" about an answer because he couldn't get Chicago out of his mind, Scott resurrected a quarter style that hadn't been used in over a year, Josh has officially ruined Rudy for Matt (#thruth #facts), and a perfectly good Pre and Postgame Halftime answer was wasted (I am Legend of Bagger Vance). #twix #toomuchfacemask #jordanlove #oldschool #simmer #thisisdumb #chicago #fillthegaps #rudy #iamlegend #thelegendofbaggervance https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

In this episode of The Mutation Station, we explore the unique world of left-handed and ambidextrous individuals. We kick off by discussing the science behind handedness, from genetic factors to brain structure, revealing why only 10% of the population is left-handed. Historically, left-handedness has had a mixed reputation—linked to both mystery and power but also misunderstood in some cultures. In art, legends like Leonardo da Vinci used left-handed techniques, while in pop culture, characters like Arya Stark and Inigo Montoya bring left-handedness to life, symbolising independence and skill. We also dive into amusing moments with left-handed world leaders, like Obama's famous overhand writing and Trudeau's left-handed salutes, showing how handedness adds personality even in politics. This episode celebrates left-handed and ambidextrous individuals, from myth to modern times, as symbols of creativity, adaptability, and unique perspectives.

  Innovation is inherently a forward-looking practice and, as the world changes, so does the way we innovate. In the next decade, as the world encounters various challenges stemming from climate change, resource pressures, and global policy, companies will need to embrace disruption and develop an innovative culture that can react quickly and adapt to changing environments. But what do companies need to do this successfully? The 4,000 experts contributing to The Millennium Project have done extensive research and provided us with a framework to assess local and global factors that will influence humanity's chance to build a better future.   In that light, I discuss my predictions of how innovation will change and how companies can prepare to do more with fewer resources. I predict the role that AI tools will play in product management and how team leaders can get the most out of those tools. I discuss the need for business model thinking and how business models can rapidly change due to customer expectation. I also discuss the importance of dual innovation and highlight how core innovation won't be enough to make businesses stand out from the competition.   “In 2030, innovation will put product management at the center.” - Paul Heller   This week on Innovation Talks:   ●     What The Millennium Project's research is telling us about the future ●     How to make development sustainable while addressing climate change ●     How innovators can use scientific and technological breakthroughs to improve the human condition ●     How innovation will change in the year 2030 ●     The importance of dual innovation ●     How AI will influence innovation ●     Why North Star thinking will be more important than ever   Resources Mentioned:   ●     The Millennium Project (https://www.millennium-project.org/) ●     Ambidexterity in Business Innovation with Noel Sobelman (https://www.sopheon.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc29waGVvbi5jb20vcG9kY2FzdHMtYXVkaW8vYW1iaWRleHRlcml0eQ%3D%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=6722983&cid=78499505574&t=bm9lbCBzb2JlbG1hbg%3D%3D&d=www.sopheon.com&c=2&c=3&c=6&rp=5&ab=false&opcid=&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1716581389&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v7SbY4LYcdcgjZ7nZ6EfZldL8uZtA) ●     Dual innovation with Ralph-Christian Ohr (https://www.sopheon.com/podcasts-audio/dual-innovation-with-ralph-christian-ohr)   This Podcast is brought to you by Sopheon   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Innovation Talks.

Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, delves into the nuanced world of strategy, addressing its complexities in both personal and business spheres. In an engaging discussion, he highlights the scarcity of truly exceptional strategies and underscores the necessity of evaluating success progressively over time. Through his conversation with Dominic Monkhouse, Reeves elaborates on CEOs' critical role in executing strategies and the hurdles involved in preserving an innovative culture as organisations expand. He sheds light on why keeping strategies confidential can be beneficial, the adaptability required in strategic planning, and the risks posed by complacency and an inward focus.This podcast highlights the vital role of imagination and creativity in spurring innovation and fostering organisational change. They dissect the challenges associated with implementing transformative ideas, emphasising the need to move beyond conventional procedures and navigate internal politics effectively. The power of storytelling and the ability to mobilise enthusiasm for new ideas are discussed as pivotal tools in driving change. The conversation touches on the importance of framing the right questions, the paradox of hierarchy and innovation, and the need for depoliticisation and depth of debate in business. Martin shares insights from his book 'The Imagination Machine' and recommends other books on innovation and strategy.On today's podcast: Great strategies are rare and enduring success is hard to achieve.The role of CEOs in strategy execution is important but not the dominant factor.Secrecy in strategy is not as valuable as having robust and evolvable scripts.Complacency and internal focus can hinder innovation and change.Imagination is a crucial aspect of strategy and should be given more attention. Change is a strategic problem that requires understanding the forces of change and resistance and working on both sides of the equation.Imagination is triggered by surprise and the ability to detect anomalies and changes in the world.Selling ideas and driving change requires storytelling, galvanising energy, and making it clear why the change is in everyone's best interest.Mental models can limit creativity and innovation, and it's important to challenge existing mental models and embrace counterfactual thinking.Depoliticisation and depth of debate are crucial for effective strategy and innovation.Ambidexterity is the ability to balance the focus on running the current business with preparing for the future.Diversity is important for variation and selection, but it requires a focus on both ethical and evolutionary aspects.Curiosity drives innovation and learning, and listening is a skill that can be continuously improved.Simplicity and focus are more valuable than comprehensive and exhaustive lists of strategies and actions.The biggest myth in business is that it's mostly a financial equation when in reality, it's about serving human ends and using human means to achieve them.Follow Martin:WebsiteLinkedInYour strategy needs a strategyRecommended reading:Co-Intelligence: Living and working with AI

Here are just 3 of the many takeaways from this episode: Change does not fail; it's that people achieve the desired outcome that is difficult. Humans are complex, and their ability to adapt to change is often underestimated. Balancing productivity and innovation is necessary for organizations to remain successful. Right to the Point (Key Clips): The Future is Already Here: "Never in human history has the present been so temporary." [00:01:21] The Age of Supercomputers: "Our lives will continue to be disrupted faster and at a greater scale than most of us ever thought possible. And adaptability will be the essential life skill all of us need." [00:02:36] The Evolution of Human Interaction: "It was never a technological issue. It was always a human one to why people and organizations wouldn't change, and wouldn't see what the new opportunities were of these technologies. It was a human issue." [00:09:25] Building Resilience Through ACE: "Our AQ ability which is a learnable skill is looking at how and to what degree do I adapt as an individual... elements of growth mindset but particularly around change." [00:15:48] The Importance of Adaptability Intelligence: "I believe, no matter what's going on in and around a job, a role, a company, a team, if we get the way we can use our adaptability intelligence, dialed in and worked on, all the other stuff becomes easy."[00:24:56] Driving Innovation and Unlearning: "Unlearning was a really interesting area for them to start for a few reasons. One, it was a bit new and novel as the concept, but it also became super practical for them really quickly through a few of the interventions and outcomes." [00:33:33] The Ambidexterity of Innovation: "The largest company on the planet that will exist in 2030 doesn't currently exist."  [00:42:26]

Good evening everyone   I am a bit late today - as always research and teaching demand time ;)  Today, I talk about ambidexterity - the ability of an organisation to perform exploitation and exploration activities simultaneously. Put differently, it is about whether an organisation with limited resources can earn money and shape new opportunities at the same time. I hope you enjoy this short show! Meanwhile, feel free to comment, share this episode with your friends and colleagues, and subscribe to my show - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

In this second part of our “CTIO Perspectives” episode with Maria Velissariou, former CSO and Corporate R&D VP at Mars, we transfer the need of Ambidexterity from the leadership to that of the organization.  How to elevate your people into the capability to “perform AND transform” at the same time. Maria offers a trinity of principles as inspiration for your organization for both excellence in execution and generating those out-of-the-box creative ideas toward transformation ahead – illustrated by her real life experiences.

In this episode of “CTIO Perspectives” Maria Velissariou, outgoing Chief Science Officer at Mars, discusses the power, and need, of Ambidexterity in today's business world with John Metselaar.  This first (of two) sessions focuses on what it means to become an ambidextrous leader.  We cover five pillars toward creating an innovation culture of agility, speed, and scale – to be able to “perform AND transform”.

In episode 43 of the Most Awesome Founder Podcast, we introduce Julian Birkinshaw, a leading researcher in the field of entrepreneurship and a Professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at the London Business School. In this episode, Julian will discuss his research on how companies need to balance alignment and adaptability to keep up with a rapidly changing world. He will also walk us through his findings on what made big successful companies like Oracle adapt to changing market conditions and the concept of contextual ambidexterity – behaviors and practices in a business that enable organizations to adapt to changing markets but still remain aligned to their existing activities. Hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as we did producing it.

Joining the podcast today is Andy Binns, co-author of the book Corporate Explorer. This book and Andy's perspective goes against much of what we have learned as the right way to retain talent. What Andy brings to the table today is how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset to large corporate organizations. In his experience, large organizations are great to incubate and nurture this entrepreneurial attitude and skill set. Why is this important and why aren't more organizations implementing this? In addition, Andy and I discuss the challenges this current generation of talent is experiencing and what organizations can do to manage constant change. Developing an environment to retain people longer is different than it used to be and in this episode, you'll discover that it is entirely different than you might think. This topic is very timely in the current climate that we are in and I know you will find great value in Andy's perspective. His book Corporate Explorer is highly recommended.

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ambidexterity-and-cognitive-closure   Back in a more superstitious time, people believed left-handers were in league with the Devil. Now, in this age of Science, we realize that was unfair. Yes, left-handers are statistically more likely to be in league with the Devil. But so are right-handers! It's only the ambidextrous who are truly pure! At least this is the conclusion I take from Lyle & Grillo (2020) Why Are Consistently-Handed Individuals More Authoritarian: The Role Of Need For Cognitive Closure. It discusses studies finding that consistently-handed people (ie people who are not ambidextrous) are more likely to support authoritarian governments, demonstrate prejudice against "immigrants, homosexuals, Muslims, Mexicans, atheists, and liberals", and support violations of the Geneva Conventions in hypothetical scenarios. The authors link this to a construct called "need for cognitive closure", ie being very sure you are right and unwilling to consider alternate perspectives. They argue that something about the interaction of brain hemispheres regulates cognitive closure, and that ambidextrous people, with their weak hemispheric dominance, get less of it. They study 235 undergraduates and find results that generally confirm this hypothesis: their ambidextrous subjects support less authoritarian and racist beliefs, and this is partly

"The black belt represents the beginning - the start of a never-ending journey of discipline, work, and the pursuit of an ever-higher standard.” Relationships: You have new relationships with people everyday. Even if you talk to a person daily and live with them. Everything is new and different every single day! Have the discipline to learn boundaries and respect! Work, family and friends. All relationships are always new! Ambidexterity: disruptive AND disciplined. Structuring disruption. If you want to be successful, you need to balance disruption and discipline. Teenagers are great examples! Don't stop being one! You can't move without breaking things! Manage your growth: Leaders and teams often can't keep up with growth; failing to deliver on goals because they don't have the right resources, processes or infrastructure.

Ik mag deze week in het hoofd kruipen van Peter Daels, managing director innduce me. Innduce.me is een assessment tool die de innovatieskills van mensen objectief en wetenschappelijk onderbouwd in kaart brengt. Deze tool is  ontstaan in de schoot van UGent ism innovatie expert Creax. Het onderzoek werd destijds geleid door Frederik Anseel en zijn departement psychologie en behavioral economics.  Bedrijven staan voor een moeilijke dubbele opdracht: ze moeten deze crisis overleven maar tegelijk vooruitkijken naar een onzekere toekomst. Met andere woorden: operationele beslissingen nemen op korte termijn: hoe optimaliseer ik mijn bestaande business en tegelijkertijd inzetten op morgen en overmorgen, wat een lange-termijnvisie veronderstelt.Bedrijven die dagelijkse operaties goed combineren met lange-termijninnovatie noemen we ambidextrous organisations. En dat is allesbehalve vanzelfsprekend: bedrijven zijn niet gestructureerd of georganiseerd om te innoveren, ze zijn vooral gemaakt met focus op het optimaliseren van processen. Het zijn trouwens altijd mensen die innoveren, niet organisaties.Waar het op aan komt, is het selecteren, samen plaatsen en ondersteunen van de juiste mensen. Er is dus een belangrijke strategische rol weggelegd voor HR!Sterke innovatieteams stel je niet samen op basis van anciënniteit of hiërarchie. Ervaring is belangrijk, maar optimale teams hebben iets anders nodig.Waarom is iemand innovatiever dan een ander? Kunnen we dat op een objectieve manier bepalen? Met deze vragen stapte Peter Daels een paar jaar geleden naar professor Frederik Anseel en zijn team aan UGent. Uitgebreid wetenschappelijk onderzoek en praktijktoetsing toonde 20 belangrijke vaardigheden voor succesvolle innovatie en drie basisprofielen: 1) de Ideator, 2) de Champion 3) en Implementer. Uit het onderzoek bleek ook dat innovatie versnelt door de samenwerking van deze drie profielen in één team.Net zoals Belbin teamrollen heeft gedefinieerd en succesvolle teams een evenwichtige verdeling nodig hebben van die verschillende rollen, zo ook zijn er dus ook drie innovatierollen die je in ieder innovatieteam nodig hebt!Dit alles leidde tot een online-test die het niveau van de innovatievaardigheden bij medewerkers objectief en wetenschappelijk onderbouwd in kaart brengt. Wie zijn onze innovatietalenten? Wie is er nu reeds aan boord?Welke profielen zijn er tekort en moeten we ofwel rekruteren, ofwel intern opleiden? Maar ook als een reorganisatie dreigt, hoe houd je de sterkste innovators aan boord?Dat ontdek je in deze bijzonder boeiende episode van Brainpickings!Meer weten?Surf dan zeker naar www.innduce.me en test de gratis demo!+++ism Spaces, Tour & Taxis - Gare Martime, Brussel

Competitive advantage and organizational ambidexterity by Professor Mat Hughes

In episode 10, I chat with Ebiye Jeremy. EJ is a member of the US National men's beach handball and touch rugby teams. In this episode, we chat about ambidexterity and the benefits being an ambidextrous athlete has had on his career. We discuss what made him curious about becoming ambidextrous, how he learned with the help of Whole Brain Power (from Episode 002 with Michael Lavery) and how that has translated to a unique athletic advantage.EJ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HandballNinja/EJ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/handballninja/Whole Brain Power: https://wbp.io/

Digital transformation in large and complex organisations continues to challenge even the best traditional managers and leaders – often because they still rely on old ways of thinking and working. Roland Deiser is a Drucker Senior Fellow and, in this episode, he touches on three distinct arenas in which digital transformation happens, along with the ambidexterity challenge and agile architectures. Roland also explains why boundaries and boundary management are so important for leaders who have aspirations to orchestrate successful transformation.

One of the big themes emerging from the management and organisational development literature at the moment is that of organisational ambidexterity. A problem that has dogged many organisations is how to continue to exploit its existing capabilities whilst at the same time developing and exploring new ones. A new study and review...

Some studies hint that ambidexterity may improve cognitive function. While this may not be a true augmentation, it is something that if developed, may have multi-faceted benefits. Listen in as two cyborgs share their experiences.

The fine and gross motor controls of the hands help to grow the brain.  This brain growth occurs specifically on the surface of the brain (cerebral cortex) as well as certain anatomical areas of the hippocampi structures, the corpus collosum and the cerebellum.  Science has proven that the growth of myelin occurs with improved procedural memories.  When the myelin thickens on the axon sheaths, chemical changes occur and the master steroid called Pregnenolone is produced.  This is part of the Steroidogenesis process that helps to maintain homeostasis within the brain.  The brain has the ability to create new neurons in a process called Neurogenesis. There is now much evidence to support that the brain has much greater plasticity than previously recognized.This is encouraging news for anyone dealing with mild cognitive impairment. People dealing with Parkinson's  can be inspired to become more proactive with the issues of doing certain brain exercises that can help to rewire both hemispheres. One of the tenets of the Whole Brain Power system is to work on ambidexterity with handwriting drills and to also work on mirror writing.  This exercise is called "Da Vinci writing."  It is one in which the practitioner writes from right to left with cursive penmanship.  The other ambidextrous drill is to bounce a golf ball off a mallet and to do so with either hand.  People with Parkinson's seem to make tremendous strides in these areas where initially they had coordination problems.   

Ambidexterity is quite the phenomenon that's impressive at parties. Even though having this gift is visually amazing the real magic is happening inside the brain. The complementing nature the two halves of the brain must have is a truly efficient relationship. Just the same, its phenomenal what the Church can achieve when the body of Christ cultivates a complementing nature with all the members available. How we treat the other members of the body is very important to how great the Church can be.

The business landscape is changing and one thing we can be certain is that what worked in the past won’t necessarily work next time.

It is discussed whether hybrid strategies are beneficial or detrimental to a firm’s performance, because hybrid strategies lead to organizational tensions that arise from the simultaneous pursuit of distinct strategic activities. However, existing studies on the relationship between hybrid strategy and firm performance have largely neglected the role of the organizational architecture. This study tests the hypothesis that an ambidextrous organizational architecture positively moderates the relationship between a hybrid strategy and firm performance. Particularly, the roles of specific organization structures and HRM practices (individual ambidexterity) and information and communication technologies (technological ambidexterity) are assessed. Further, a hybrid strategy’s performance impact is defined in two distinct ways and measured relative to three different comparison groups, that is, the entire sample, no-emphasis strategies, and pure strategies. A novel multi-source dataset on German and Polish manufacturing firms is constructed from three independent sources, including a dataset on objective firm performance indicators. Evidence is found that a hybrid strategy positively impacts firm performance in the presence of organizational ambidexterity, but negatively impacts firm performance in the absence of organizational ambidexterity. These findings are robust across two types of organizational ambidexterity, three different comparison groups, and further robustness tests.
