Podcast appearances and mentions of kathleen eisenhardt

Kathleen Eisenhardt is the Stanford W. Ascherman M.D. Professor in the Stanford School of Engineering. She is also a faculty member with STVP, the Stanford Engineering Entrepreneurship Center, and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. Among the most widely cited entrepreneurship scholars in the world, Eisenhardt is the author of over 100 articles and several books, most recently (with Don Sull), “Simple Rules: How to Survive in a Complex World.” In this presentation, Eisenhardt shares strategies for founders of new companies in new and disrupted markets, providing case studies from her extensive research.

Kathleen Eisenhardt is an expert in strategy and organizational behavior. She studies corporate decision making. She says the most creative companies are like jazz bands. Bound by a few simple rules, they are able to innovate continually. Other companies are like orchestras, tied to rigid scores and complex rules; they find it hard to improvise. If innovation is your metric, Eisenhardt says, having a few simple rules is the best path to success, as she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

This episode is all about our ‘built environment'. In other words, infrastructure – our roads, bridges, water system, and digital infrastructure. After listening to this one, it's more than likely that you will never think about this topic in the same way again. Think about when our roads and bridges were built. Who was in the room (often decades ago) making the decisions? What did they know? How do these decisions impact us today? What does that mean for current infrastructure decisions? A lot. Infrastructure can be viewed as 'institutional relics". Meet today's guest, Daniel Armanios. Daniel is the BT Professor of Major Programme Management at the University of Oxford's Säid Business School. His research and teaching integrates civil engineering with organisational sociology to better understand how organisations can coordinate to build, manage, and maintain infrastructure systems. Daniel is a super interesting guy – a Rhodes Scholar with a Ph.D. in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University, he is an interdisciplinary expert yet a practical thinker. He has amazing insights and this leads to a fascinating conversation.   We cover things like: How infrastructure decisions that are ‘rational' can sometimes create unequal outcomes; Why it's important for those designing and building infrastructure to think about who they might be excluded – and how to do that; Infrastructure as an 'institutional relic'; Political turmoil; Risk and uncertainty in infrastructure; Risk-taking as an academic Show notes: Daniel Armanios Daniel on LinkedIn Daniel's inaugural lecture at the University of Oxford Daniel's research on bridges Flint Michigan water crisis Jackson Mississippi water crisis Cancer Alley Grenfell Tower Fire Pittsburgh Fern Hollow Bridge and its collapse Social sensing Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt Gerd Gigerenzer on heuristics Kathleen Eisenhardt on simple rules Agile methodology Boeing 737 max case _ _ _ _ _ _ _   Like what you heard?

Ascherman MD Chair and is a member of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. Kathleen's research sits at the nexus of strategy, organization theory and entrepreneurship where she focuses on high-velocity markets and technology-based firms. She is currently studying strategy in distinct economic “games” like 2-sided marketplaces, cognitive processes, and strategy in nascent markets, particularly using multi-case methods. She has recently blended multi-case theory building with machine learning for more robust theory build. Her most recent book (w/Don Sull) is Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World, designated a top business book by the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Kathleen has worked extensively with firms in sectors, ranging from Internet, clean tech, software and semiconductor to agribusiness and biotech.

On today’s episode of Trend Following Radio Michael Covel interviews Kathleen Eisenhardt. Kathleen is Co-Author of the best selling book “Simple Rules.” She is also the Co-Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. Her book’s foundation is based on the argument that too much structure and too many rules don’t get products out the door and the other extreme, no rules or structure tend to not produce results either. In short, simplicity beats complexity. Her book “Simple Rules” is not just about rules in business, but in all aspects of life; sports, entertainment, investing, diets, etc. Kathleen defines simple rules as shortcuts that save on time and are more commonly known as, “rules of thumb” (heuristics). Michael and Kathleen pull in examples from Google, Netflix, The White Stripes, Billy Bean and the Oakland A’s, General Motors, Stanford football and an expedition in the South Pole launched in 1912. Kathleen shows in all the scenarios how people who modeled the past failed and how the simple route conquered the complex every time. She stresses that the philosophy, psychology, and the system itself may not be so simple, but the rules to follow are. Kathleen and Michael go on to discuss people who make a living out of of being complicated. Lawyers, accountants, lobbyists make a living out of having a lot of rules nobody can decipher. Kathleen discusses the differences in risk adverse people, more strategic people and the people who just go ahead and wing it in business and in life. Kathleen explains her three step process in creating simpler guidelines. “Bottleneck” is the 2nd rule in the three step process. The “Bottleneck” is what keeps you from getting to the objective. It’s what holds you up from moving forward. You solve the bottleneck and you have solved your problem. In this episode of Trend Following Radio:     Bottleneck concept     Complexity is not always best     Tax code for political gain     Simplifying government     Improving your probabilities with rules     The Federal Reserve

Earlier this month most of you completed your taxes.  Probably either you had someone else do it, or you spent hours navigating the complexity of the Federal tax code.  Perhaps that tax code is the apotheosis of complexity...with the possible exception of booking air travel. On the other hand, if we look at Silicon Valley, it’s filled with examples of companies that have figured out how to do a limited number of things, do them well and create minimal rules around it.In between is the vast landscape of culture and business which is continuously tilting from one side or the other.  Always trying to find a footing that, in an increasingly complex world, makes their product or service or idea, simpler. Standing on the bridge of simplicity, particularly in the world of business has been Stanford Professor Kathleen Eisenhardt.  Her new book is Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex WorldMy conversation with Kathleen Eisenhardt:
