Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark W Johnson

Patrick und Jörg tauschen sich über das Buch von Mark W. Johnson mit dem Titel: Seizing the white space aus. Dabei geht es um die Analyse von neuen Wachstumsfeldern von Unternehmen White Spaces werden aus Sicht des Autors als Bereiche definiert, als Bereiche, die einen geringen Fit mit den bestehenden Kompetenzen des Unternehmens haben und die neuen oder bestehenden Kunden in einer völlig neuen Art die Bedürfnisse befriedigen. Auf den ersten Blick sieht das nach grossem Risiko aus. Wie schaut Patrick aus seiner Geschäftsmodellperspektive auf dieses Modell und wie beurteilt Jörg aus der Vertriebsperspektive diesen Ansatz? Wertvolle Erkenntnisse, wie immer aus der Sendeanstalt Beromünster.

More than a decade ago, Mark Johnson, SAP's Henning Kagermann, and Clayton Christensen hashed out the principles of business model reinvention in the pages of the Harvard Business Review. Essentially, a business model can be broken down into four distinct elements: A value proposition 2. Resources  3. Processes, 4. A profit formula  This means in practice that the new and different must be separated and even protected from the tried and true. As Mark says, “To play a new game on a new field requires a new game plan.” —Clayton M. Christensen It is a pleasure to welcome the author of multiple titles, a great friend of the show, and the co-author of that 2008 paper Clay mentioned, a Top 50 HBR article of all time, Reinventing Your Business Model; Mark W. Johnson.

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by his colleague and repeated guest, Adam Ulery.   In this episode, Dan and Adam are exploring the true meaning of being Agile, which is often a subject of discussion. Dan recently found the work of two researchers named Corey Baham and Rudy Hirschheim on the theoretical cores of Agile which provides valuable information about the identity of Agile.   Key Takeaways What does Agile mean? The four cores of the Theoretical model on Agility in the mentioned research are validity, inspection and adaptation, working collaboratively, and continuous customer involvement. Going superficially vs. deeply into Agile: A superficial approach is when people go through the motions or practice Agile behaviors and activities, maybe not fully understanding the reason why they are doing what they are doing or the benefits implied. Going deeper into Agile means seeking a better understanding of the reasons behind your behavior. Agility at the Team level: An example of a superficial approach to Agile can be when a person is named the product owner, then he/she gets a list of tasks to do, and maybe even is required to check before doing anything. There are cases when the new product owner also takes on the new role on top of a previous list of accountabilities, resulting in a very superficial approach to the functions. Not going beyond the functions of your role can also be a superficial way to execute a role. A deep way to develop the role is to begin to understand its true purpose and to remove the barriers preventing the achievement of those goals. The whole Team must be aligned when the priorities change. The environment has to add value to the Scrum framework. A tight partner of alignment is discipline; the team has to say no to the things they shouldn't be working on. At the leadership level, the Scrum values have to be deeply understood. Superficially, a leader has a general understanding of Agile, more in terms of a process, another way to manage projects. An Agile Leader has an understanding of Agile as an effective tool to help the organization to achieve the outcomes it wants.  An Agile Leader removes the impediments for the Team to exercise the Agile values. The whole Team must be aligned when the priorities change. Change isn't easy. The whole Team must be aligned when the priorities change. To experience great rewards you have to put in the effort and go through the pain.   Mentioned in this Episode: “Issues, challenges, and a proposed theoretical core of Agile Software Development Research,” by Corey Baham and Rudy Hirschheim Lead from the Future: How to Turn Visionary Thinking Into Breakthrough Growth, by Mark W.

But a promise in her patriarchal blessing gave her the confidence to move forward. While looking for work, she discovered that the school provides “tuition remission” (meaning the cost of tuition is waved) for full-time university employees.In answer to her prayers and in fulfillment of that patriarchal promise, Linda got a job at the school that both covered her living expenses and kicked in tuition coverage just as the bill came due.Though she ended up leaving that program and trying another en route to finally finding a third master's program she loved, Linda faithfully made each move, trusting in the “God of the 11th hour.” Of this experience, she says, “I was able to graduate without debt while living in New York city. I still marvel at that a lot… I just felt like the Lord took care of me so well, allowed me to make my mistakes and still didn't let me crash.”Now Linda holds a Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University, has worked nine years in higher education as a career counselor and advisor, taught university-level classes "to help college students achieve their goals and reach their potential" (Career Exploration, Career Strategies, and Personal Branding), and she is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach.Linda is also the founder of Launched By Linda, a virtual career coaching service.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeAdvice for Gen Z youth who aren't sure what to study in collegeHow to identify and evolve your personal brandHow knowing your personal brand can help you develop confidenceWhy it's important to charge for the services you provideMost Importantly: How Linda has seen the Lord’s hand in her career.Mentioned in this EpisodeDisrupt Yourself - Whitney Johnson's interview with Mark W.

My guest this week is Mark W. Johnson. Mark Johnson is a business advisor with over 20 years experience helping companies to create new growth strategies, navigate disruptive innovation, build innovation capabilities, and manage corporate transformation.

He is co-founder and senior partner of Innosight, a strategy and innovation consulting firm and the leading authority on disruptive innovation and corporate transformation, co-founded with Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. In Lead from the Future Mark W. Johnson and Josh Suskewicz introduce a new way of thinking and managing that they call “future-back,” which allows any manager to become a practical visionary. Frankly addressing the many barriers to change that exist in established organizations, they present a systematic approach to overcoming them, laying out: - The principles and mindset that enable you and your leadership team to look beyond a typical short-term planning horizon and grasp the challenges and opportunities that will define the future. - A step by step approach for translating your vision into a strategic plan that your team can align around and commit to. - A way to infuse visionary thinking into the processes and culture of your whole organization, so that it becomes both a repeatable capability and a way of life. As practical as it is inspiring, Lead from the Future is the guide you and your team need to think as clearly, creatively, and expansively as visionary company founders do–and then act decisively to turn your innovative ideas into breakthrough growth.

In this episode, Mark Johnson describes a method for putting visionary thinking and processes into place so that any organization can take advantage of disruptive innovation. As business models change at an ever-increasing rate and the world becomes noisier, the tendency for most organizations is to hunker down and deal with the here and now. But it is important to get past the pull of the present and plan for five to ten years in the future.

Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation Founder, talks with Mark about how companies can better prepare for breakthrough growth and how leadership teams can use future back thinking to better understand the opportunities and threats in a world of constant disruption.

Twenty years ago, Mark W. Johnson and Clayton Christensen co-founded Innosight, a consulting firm focused on helping organizations to design and create the future, rather than be disrupted by it. This week on The Disruptive Voice, we’re pleased to welcome Mark for some reflections on his work and friendship with Clay; on a process of longer-term management called future-back thinking, which he and co-author Josh Suskewicz explore in their newly-released book, Lead From The Future: How To Turn Visionary Thinking Into Breakthrough Growth; and on ways in which senior leaders can apply these methods in organizations that struggle to look beyond the 3-5 year growth horizon. Hosted by Katie Zandbergen, Mark also shares insights about the distinction between vision and strategy, the story of Apple’s transformation from a computer company to a lifestyle company, and how we can think about applying the lessons from Lead From The Future in our current moment of crisis.

When things are changing so rapidly (particularly right now), our usual approach of working from the present to the future is not going to work. To survive and thrive, we need to start from the future and work backward, yet this is something most of us don’t even consider, or if we do, struggle with. Mark Johnson explains the concept of “Future Back” and how that can help us in these rapidly-changing times.   Mark Johnson is the co-founder and Senior Partner of Innosight, a growth strategy consulting company. He has been a strategic advisor to both Global 1000 and start-up companies in a wide range of industries. He is the co-author of Lead from the Future: How to Turn Visionary Thinking into Breakthrough Growth (April 2020), which explores the concept of “Future-Back” thinking and provides a hands-on guide to long-term planning, strategy development, and execution within established organizations.   How is the future like an impressionist painting, not a photograph? Mark dives into the art of the possible, and how thinking about future scenarios calls for creative right-brain thinking. To survive, we need to start thinking about long-term plans but we’re constantly just in reactive mode trying to keep our balance. Mark shares how we can balance these two states, and his strategies to inspire and promote thinking clearly, creatively, and expansively. He also tackles the present-forward fallacy, why looking at data keeps us trapped in the past, and how to push past our cognitive biases to get to truly innovative future-back thinking.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: Innovation is Everybody’s Business: How to Ignite, Scale, and Sustain Innovation for Competitive Edge, by Tamara Ghandour (Pre-Order) IQE Assessment IQE Pro Innovation Toolkit Email Mark Johnson Innosight Lead From The Future: How to Turn Visionary Thinking into Breakthrough Growth, by Mark W.

Our guest today is Mark W. Johnson, the co-founder and senior partner of Innosight, a strategy and innovation consulting firm he co-founded with Clayton Christensen in 2000.  Mark's latest book is titled Lead From The Future: How To Turn Visionary Thinking Into Breakthrough Growth, and today, we're going to talk about what this means. Because whenever you make the decision to disrupt yourself, you are giving up what you have today for something you could have in the future, and the status quo that you have today, whether it's good or bad, is comfortable. We're more motivated by what we lose than by what we gain, and that's where Mark and his co-author Josh's work comes in. They've developed a process called future back thinking, a process that whether you are an organization or an individual, helps make living the present a little less scary, and the future a lot more hopeful and exciting.

Mark W. Johnson spent his beginning days trying to drive disruptive innovation for organizations, but the innovation they were trying to drive never really took root in their own organization. After a long time, he realized that innovation without a strategy behind it is going nowhere, and for a strategy to be successful, it requires a long-term, holistic approach to leadership, strategy, and innovation.
