Strategy advisor Roger Martin explains how 2,000 year old military thinking is useful in modern business strategy. Business leaders can gain valuable insights from history's great military strategists. Roger Martin, an author and the former dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, suggests examining "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Although the text is more than 2,000 years old, Roger argues that it contains timeless philosophy that applies not only to the battlefield, but also to modern business strategy. To Roger, people often think war and business is all about numbers and hard data. But in reality, it's often just as important to think about more qualitative aspects about your company and its competition. And that's where philosophy and customer-focused design come into play. Chapters: 0:00 Is ‘The Art of War' as good as an MBA? 2:19 “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” 3:25 “There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare” 4:22 “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard” 5:05 “Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.” 6:28 The tripartite view of the future About Roger Martin: In 2017, Roger Martin was named the world's #1 management thinker by Thinkers50, a biannual ranking of the most influential global business thinkers. Martin is a trusted strategy advisor to the CEOs of companies worldwide including Procter & Gamble, Lego, and Ford. Martin is a Professor Emeritus at the Rotman School of Management at University of Toronto, where he served as dean from 1998-2013. In 2013, he was named global Dean of the Year by the leading business school website, Poets & Quants. His newest book is A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Managerial Effectiveness. His previous twelve books include When More is Not Better, Creating Great Choices written with Jennifer Riel, Getting Beyond Better written with Sally Osberg, and Playing to Win written with A.G. Lafley, which won the award for Best Book of 2012-13 by the Thinkers50. He has written 32 Harvard Business Review articles. Martin received his BA from Harvard College, with a concentration in economics, in 1979 and his MBA from the Harvard Business School in 1981. He lives in South Florida with his wife, Marie-Louise Skafte. About Big Think | Smarter Faster™ ► Big Think The leading source of expert-driven, educational content.

In today's episode, we're joined by Jennifer Riel, Head of Global Strategy at IDEO. We dig deep into the importance of continual learning, the discipline required to make great choices, and the crucial lens for strategic monitoring while underlining the limited value of relying solely on historical data. Jennifer also highlights the issue of investors' short-term obsession, how to diagnose bad strategy and the significance of annual strategic planning. Using the BlackBerry case study, we examine strategic decision-making during crises and the indicators signalling a need for strategic shifts. The episode wraps with an in-depth discussion on talent strategy in today's hybrid work culture and the age-old question: is a poor strategy, if well executed, preferable? Stay tuned for a lively Pod-pod session with V and Marc to reflect on these insights and more. ____________ Our Guest: Follow Jennifer Riel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferriel/ IDEO Profile: https://www.ideo.com/people/jennifer-riel ____________ Literature Creating Great Choices: https://www.amazon.ca/Creating-Great-Choices-Integrative-Thinking/dp/1633692965/ IDEO Shopping Cart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M66ZU2PCIcM&t=95s HBR: When to Switch Strategy: https://hbr.org/2021/02/when-to-switch-strategy-in-a-crisis Good Strategy, Bad Strategy Summary: https://jlzych.com/2018/06/27/notes-from-good-strategy-bad-strategy/ How to evaluate corporate strategy: https://hbr.org/1963/07/how-to-evaluate-corporate-strategy  Blue Ocean Strategy v.

Strategic planning is one of those seemingly boring things that we need to do every once in a while to have a vision and clarity around where our organization is going. But I've never seen it done as an exciting or innovative process in most small organizations.In today's episode, Jennifer Riel, IDEO's global director of strategy (and probably one of the smartest people I've met), talks about how you can actually use that process to think about innovation and really have a strong impact on your organization.Myths that Jennifer wants us to walk away from:Strategy is about updating old plans: Doing the status quo may look risk-free, but it may be extremely risky because the world has changed, or we lack the capabilities, or whatever the case may be. Holding the same standard hinders us from seeing other possibilities that could lead us to where we want to be.Strategy is all about budget and a thick binder full of initiatives:  Strategy is a set of choices. And a choice means yes to some things and a no to other things, giving things up, trading things off. Real choices. And those choices are about how you are going to try to win in a particular way.Jennifer's thoughts around Strategy “Winning” for nonprofits: Strategy is about making choices that will allow you to win and for nonprofits, winning means achieving ambitions and creating the change that we want to see in the world. Jennifer encourages not for profits to think of choices about what they can uniquely do and what should they uniquely do to create the change that they are after?Start with human-centeredness: Understanding the context in which you are operating is important for nonprofits.  You need to know what's happening in the community,  what are the folks that you are working with, and what is it that is working for them or not?  And use that to define the problem to be solved.Competitive advantage: For nonprofits, the competitive advantage is a reason a donor would give you the dollar instead of someone else, a reason to believe that you can achieve the outcome you're after more effectively or less expensively than someone else could. Knowing Your Capabilities:  You need to know the capabilities and systems that you will need as an organization in order to implement your strategy. Be honest about where you are.  Favourite Quotes from Today's EpisodePost your favorite quote on social media to share with us!“The starting place is to use your existing understanding of the world, your collective wisdom as a leadership team to say what is the problem we need our new strategy to solve. Start there, then explore the possibilities. So don't try to get to that answer right away, diverge a little bit and explore different playing fields, different potential sources of advantage. Those are the two fundamental questions. “Resources from this EpisodePlaying to Win by Roger Martin Jennifer Riel LinkedIn Jennifer Riel TwitterThe Good A message from our Sponsor: Keela How much should you pay your nonprofit staff?

Roger L. Martin is Professor Emeritus at the Rotman School of Management at University of Toronto, where he served as Dean from 1998 to 2013, and as Institute Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute from 2013 to 2019. In 2013, he was named Global Dean of the Year and in 2017, he was named the world's #1 management thinker. He has published 11 previous books including, most recently, Creating Great Choices with Jennifer Riel; Getting Beyond Better with Sally Osberg; and Playing to Win with A.G. Lafley, which won the award for Best Book of 2012–13 by Thinkers50. He has written 28 Harvard Business Review articles. Martin is a trusted strategy advisor to the CEOs of many global companies and originally hails from Ontario, Canada.

In this episode, I speak with Jennifer Riel, a writer and strategist, and the global director of strategy at IDEO, a global design consultancy. With Roger Martin, she is the author of Creating Great Choices: A Leader's Guide to Integrative Thinking, a Wall Street Journal bestseller. We talk about design (what it is, why it's important), creating resilient organizational strategy, the future of work, and the value of developing a growth mindset. In our conversation, we talked about: - Design—at its most basic form, it is creation with intention - IDEO's commitment to human-centered design - How design doesn't just apply to physical objects—organizations, services, and strategies can be designed, too - Designing organizational structures that support organizational strategy - How the best strategies are resilient—neither static nor reactive - The Good Job Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits (2014) by operations management professor Zeynep Ton - Major takeaways from Jennifer and Roger Martin's 2017 book Creating Great Choices: A Leader's Guide to Integrative Thinking - Applying psychologist Carol Dweck's “growth mindset” to the corporate world - How there are very few “right” answers in complex social systems

Taking action on a business strategy is something many people struggle with. Jennifer Riel, IDEO’s global director of strategy, shares how to know when you’re ready to put your strategy into action, three design tasks required to do so, and examples and tips to help you get started.

I am so excited to share my conversation with my friend and mentor, Roger Martin with you. Roger is the former Dean of the Rotman School of Management, which is the business school at the University of Toronto. He has also been named the world's number one management thinker by Thinkers50. My coauthor András Tilscik, who also teaches at Rotman, introduced us. Over the years, Roger has been a real guide for me as I build my own practice and thinking around systems. -NOTE FOR CLAIRE: or… “I got to know Roger through my coauthor…” Roger has written 11 books, a lot of which are about systems thinking and unpacking very hard problems into palatable and digestible and, frankly, actionable pieces. They're all great.  Two highlights are Creating Great Choices (with Jennifer Riel) and Playing to Win. If you listen to my conversation with David Burkus, you'll hear us talk about Roger's playing to win philosophy as applied to our own businesses.   In this episode, we discuss his most recent book, When More is Not Better, Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency. It's basically a way of thinking about the broader economic-political system in terms of systems. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

When you have to make a tough choice, what process do you follow? Do you seek common ground and compromise, or dig in your heels and insist on your original perfect vision? It turns out there may be a third option. Jennifer Riel has been working with Roger Martin to share their research on integrative thinking, which teases out the best of opposing ideas to uncover a new and sometimes unexpected approach. In this episode of Hack the Process, Jennifer will share how she went from a liberal arts major into executive consulting, what role mentorship has played in her career choices, and why her work focus has broadened from the business world to the elementary school classroom.

We take a look at integrative thinking, a problem-solving theory that MPI Institute director Roger Martin conceived about a dozen years ago. He’s written two books on the subject, 2007’s The Opposable Mind, and the just-released Creating Great Choices, co-authored by Jennifer Riel. Put simply, integrative thinking is a technique through which two opposing ideas are “resolved” by taking the best elements of each to create a new, better idea. The theory was born out of Roger’s quest to get inside the heads of highly successful business leaders like Jack Welch and AG Lafley. But integrative thinking isn’t some business-speak laden theory reserved for managers. Rather, its premise can be applied to almost any situation, from the halls of government to elementary school classrooms.

Jennifer Riel, Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto's Rottman School of Management, talks with Laura Zarrow about creative thinking and decision making. Riel and her long time thinking partner, Roger L. Martin, wrote 'Creating Great Choices: A Leader's Guide to Integrative Thinking.' See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
