His newest book is When More is Not Better: Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders looking to find a productive balance between purpose and profits.     TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Roger and I discuss his new book and the history of American economics. For the first 200 years of the American economy, we witnessed a truly impressive performance and the economic life of the average American family got better. But, in recent decades, growth in the economic prosperity of the average family in America has slowed to a crawl. At the same time, the prosperity of America's richest families has grown to a level never seen before. This combination of the stagnation of the average family and the enrichment of the richest Americans threatens American democratic capitalism. Roger provides a unique viewpoint on what has changed and why the helpful pursuit of efficiency has turned into a damaging obsession. He also begins to lay out how to bring about more productive balance.    WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… getting the opportunity to talk to Roger about a phenomenon that has become more apparent than ever in recent months!   Running Time: 42:20   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Roger Online: LinkedIn  Twitter    Roger's Book: When More is Not Better

In today's podcast, we talk with Niels Rasmussen about outcome-based thinking and participative strategy development - a method of involving a large part of the organization coming together and creating and implementing the strategy - that's gaining more and more ground. This method comes to address rising problems that result in over 70% of all strategies not coming to fruition, problems fuelled by demographic changes, the pace of changes and the need for enterprise transformation. We also talk about why it is so challenging to move toward participative strategy development and what it takes to make it happen. One is culture and the second one is our lack of belief in a true ownership culture. We touch on how the OKR framework is a key factor to getting participative strategy development off the ground. Lastly, we discuss briefly about the 12 steps required to execute a shift towards participative strategy development, which will appear in an article co-authored by Niels in spring 2023. Niels Rasmussen is founder and Managing Partner at +RASMUSSEN, a consultancy and executive training academy focusing on helping senior leaders and business owners grow their business and their leadership capabilities in areas such as Vision, Strategy, Structure, Role & Responsibility Development and Implementation. Niels has more than 25 years of top management and consulting experience in Germany, Australia, Denmark and USA (Managing Director Hewitt Associates in Germany & Europe CEO, Equity Partner KPMG), as well as diplomatic experience - serving as Commercial Affairs Officer with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Passionately Danish, he's engaged to serve as Copenhagen Goodwill Ambassador - following his 2014 appointment by HRH Prince Joachim of Denmark. Lastly, loving all things Danish - from a distinctive culture centered on lack of hierarchies and easy communication at all levels - as well as anything design-related (including Organizational Design), he's trying to bring this approach in the consultancy he founded: + RASMUSSEN. At +RASMUSSEN he leads a team of talented people who drive meaningful transformation work at global Fortune 500's (Allianz, Daimler, Merck, Valeo, Continental) as well as public and semi-public organisations such as GasNetz Hamburg, the city of Freiburg and pronova.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a radically different dialogue about thinking with the legendary Roger Martin – a man who has been called, “the world's number one management thinker” by former Ford CEO Jim Hackett. Roger Martin is a Professor Emeritus at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where he served as Dean from 98 to 2013, and as Institutional Director of the Martin Prosperity Interest Institute from 2013 to 2019. In 2013, he was also named Global Dean of the Year. In this remarkable conversation, we dig into the definition of thinking. We also discuss the difference between what Roger calls reflexive versus reflective thinking, and why thinking is a meta skill. So if you are interested on expanding the way you think, stay and listen to learn more. Roger Martin on Thinking about Thinking The conversation starts off on the topic of thinking about thinking, and if it's weird to do so. Roger offers his thoughts on the matter: “I don't think so, no. But you know, I am surprised at the number of people who seem to not think about how they think – they just think. And then when something kind of bad happens, they're kind of flummoxed. The ones who are more inclined to think about how they're thinking are more likely to say, “well, maybe I wasn't thinking about that the best way I could, what would be a different way to think about it?” ” – Roger Martin The Definition of Thinking Before heading into deeper topics, we discuss the definition of thinking. Roger gives an explanation of his definition of thinking below: “I see it as the process of reflecting on your world against a model you have of it. So you'd be thinking, if you say, that person just smiled at me as we walked by each other. So that was stimulus to your senses. And to think about it, you have to have some kind of a model in your head interpreting it. So you would say, when the corners of the lips go up like that, it generally means that that person is kind of happy, or is favorably disposed toward me, and not they have a nervous tic. But that could be another interpretation of it. But you have some kind of model that says, “this is my method of interpreting what is happening to me.” “ – Roger Martin The thing is, other people might not have the same model as you do, unless you are privy that information. This often results in clashes in models, or a misinterpretation of other people's model because they are unfamiliar, or radically different from yours. That is where thinking about thinking plays a role. Reflexive versus Reflective Thinking Roger was then presented with a thought about the current way of thinking: “We live in a world today that what that says that what most people call thinking is actually the mental retweeting of something they heard that they like, that often confirms and existing thought. And that existing thought was something they were taught to think, ergo, what most people call thinking today is actually not thinking.” Roger's response is that conceptually, that is correct. But in a way, it is also another type of thinking. “What you describe is also thinking, but it is a much more reflexive form of thinking, then reflective form of thinking. So it's sort of a bit of a, like a reflexive pattern recognition. But I don't object to calling non reflective thinking to be just barely thinking or maybe not thinking at all.” – Roger Martin To learn more about Roger Martin & the different kinds of thinking, download and listen to this episode.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. Friend to the show, Roger L. Martin, made his third appearance on the What's Next! Podcast to discuss the essentials of strategy and management, highlighting the launch of his new book A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness. Roger 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 number one management thinker by Thinkers50. He has published 12 previous books including When More Is Not Better and Playing to Win (with A. G. Lafley), which won the award for Best Book of 2012-13 by Thinkers50. Martin is a trusted strategy adviser to the CEOs of many global companies. A Canadian from Wallenstein, Ontario, he holds a BA from Harvard College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.      THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  business leaders and managers that are looking to enhance their operating strategy with an alternative model that ultimately increases effectiveness.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… The best metrics for success are based on past successful experiences, and conventional wisdom would say to imitate the dominant model to create that same success. But you must also view those strategies in context of the challenges and resources of a specific situation, because models cannot be copy pasted for an exact situation.  The execution of an idea is just as important as the idea itself, and in order to achieve true success, the strategy is always evolving to create a better and more innovative strategy for success.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… For Roger, there isn't any singular model of success, but rather success comes from building a strategic mindset to approach and solve problems. The solutions that we often look for may not always be obvious, but by simply being willing to experiment with the past models of success, we can come out on the other end better than before.     Running time: 32:37 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Roger online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Roger's Book: A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness

What's driven our relentless obsession with economic efficiency and who are its winners and losers? For much of the twentieth century, the U.S. economy benefited most individuals and families, no matter their social class. In recent decades, that's not been the case. Roger Martin examines this shift in his latest book, When More is Not Better: Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency. He shares data indicating that, while the wealthy continue to prosper, the average American family does not. While Roger is concerned with what lies ahead for these families, he is equally concerned about the future of the U.S. economic system. He says, "What set off the project behind this book is that the median family, who is also the swing voter, is going to give up on capitalism as the system it wants to have run this country." Professor of Strategic Management, Emeritus, at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, Roger previously served as Dean and Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute. In addition, he's published eleven books, written numerous articles for Harvard Business Review, and has been named the number one management thinker by Thinkers50. Based on his extensive research and his work with hundreds of companies, Roger believes organizational leaders can change things for the better. In this interview, he shares examples of how companies, like Southwest Airlines, have done just that. At the same time, Roger discusses how our longstanding model of the U.S. economy as machine got us here. He points out, "It's kind of an accident. We've done some things based on models we thought were good that have gotten us in places we don't like at all."

American democratic capitalism is in danger. How can we save it? For its first two hundred years, the American economy exhibited truly impressive performance. The combination of democratically elected governments and a capitalist system worked, with ever-increasing levels of efficiency spurred by division of labor, international trade, and scientific management of companies. By the nation’s bicentennial celebration in 1976, the American economy was the envy of the world. But since then, outcomes have changed dramatically. Growth in the economic prosperity of the average American family has slowed to a crawl, while the wealth of the richest Americans has skyrocketed. This imbalance threatens the American democratic capitalist system and our way of life. World-renowned business thinker Roger Martin starkly outlines the fundamental problem: We have treated the economy as a machine, pursuing ever-greater efficiency as an inherent good. But efficiency has become too much of a good thing. Our obsession with it has inadvertently shifted the shape of our economy, from a large middle class and smaller numbers of rich and poor (think of a bell-shaped curve) to a greater share of benefits accruing to a thin tail of already-rich Americans (a Pareto distribution). With lucid analysis and engaging anecdotes, Martin argues that we must stop treating the economy as a perfectible machine and shift toward viewing it as a complex adaptive system in which we seek a fundamental balance of efficiency with resilience. To achieve this, we need to keep in mind the whole while working on the component parts; pursue improvement, not perfection; and relentlessly tweak instead of attempting to find permanent solutions.

Roger L. Martin is Professor Emeritus of Strategic Management, at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, where he served as Dean (1998–2013) and as Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute (2013–2019). In 2017 Thinkers50 named him the world's #1 management thinker. In this podcast with Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses insights from his new book, When More is Not Better, which analyzes the growing inequality in American society as a threat to the democratic-capitalism underpinning its historical success. Martin posits that treating the economy as a machine and over-emphasizing efficiency drives this inequal distribution of the spoils of growth. The book advocates the alternative metaphor of the economy as a complex adaptive system that encourages a new set of behaviors from business executives, politicians, educators and citizens - which could sustain democratic capitalism. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.

Roger Martin is a world-renowned thinker, business strategist, author, and CEO adviser for big companies like Procter & Gamble, Verizon, and Lego. He serves as the Institute Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute, a company whose mission is to develop a better understanding of what it means to have shared and sustainable prosperity. He received his AB from Harvard College and his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1979 and 1981 respectively and from 1998 to 2013, he served as Dean of the Rotman School of Management. On today’s episode, Roger discusses how he came to be one of the world’s greatest business thinkers and why he decided to pursue such a career. He shares his insight on the kind of leader the future needs and the abilities that today’s leaders must have to visualize the future. He explains different types of business models and shares examples of scenarios that make use of each model. He also describes what it means to always choose the path that is least comfortable and why leaders should always strive to make difficult choices.   “Majority of the spoils in business go to those who chose to be distinctive.” - Roger Martin   Today on the Creative Disruption Podcast: How leaders can create a future that doesn’t exist yet. The thought process leaders must grasp to visualize the future. What it means to have the ability to appreciate qualities in life. Why sometimes you must watch and interpret customers instead of asking them. What is integrative thinking? Scenarios that demonstrate Roger's principles and ideas. What it means to fall in love with two opposing models. The Diversity Paradox and why it's a double-edged sword. Why we should operate outside our comfort zone. The difference between a reliable process and valid process.     Key Takeaways: Making choices is not meant to be comfortable. One of the arts of understanding customers is not to ask them questions they can't answer, but asking them questions they can answer and feel comfortable answering. Consumers are not there to design products and services. Their job is to express frustrations and longing.   Resources Mentioned: Carol Dweck - Growth Mindset Hilary Austen   Connect with Roger Martin   Roger Martin official website Martin Property Institute       Download the 4 Steps to Calm Leadership Whitepaper!

In February 2015, Roger L. Martin joined us to talk about innovation, incentive, and inspiration. This is the stuff that drives teams to face the most complex, stubborn challenges with surprising and creative solutions.That episode quickly cemented itself as one of our most listened-to episodes in the nine years that we have been producing this show. Roger effortlessly demonstrates the kind of approach to change that has become foundational to our work at Teibel Ed. We're not solving problems, we’re navigating uncertainty.In his time as Dean of the Rotman School at the University of Toronto, he managed to enroll his best educators to help him solve a seemingly intractable recruiting challenge. The story he tells of this experience is at once bold and charming, and it carries our central message this week: what does it mean to be part of the solution, not part of the problem?Professor Martin's work in Harvard Business Review, "The Rise — and Likely Fall — of the Talent Economy," lays out the case for the disconnect of high salaries to performance in knowledge work. But can the same case be made for the impact of significant financial goals on cultivating our best creative solutions from our most engaged and willing teams?From Howard Teibel's work with institutions in administrative and academic reviews and Professor Martin's work as an academic and business leader comes a conversation that addresses the competencies of our teams, inspiring our best players to do their best work in the face of the significant challenges before them.Links & NotesRoger L.

The Martin Prosperity Institute will be closing its doors at the end of June. Over a decade ago we set out to make a difference in the world in our explorations of city building and geographic advantage and in our investigation into the underpinnings and fault lines of democratic capitalism. For details on the latter, we highly recommend taking a listen to our previous episode that lays out some solutions for the ills facing democratic capitalism. But for our final episode, wanted to take stock of all the work and research that’s come out of the Institute over the past 11 years. Here, MPI staff members past and present offer highlights from their time working here and offer what they believe will hopefully be the Institute’s lasting legacy.

Roger Martin is a world-renowned thinker, business strategist, author, and CEO adviser for big companies like Procter & Gamble, Verizon, and Lego. He serves as the Institute Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute, a company whose mission is to develop a better understanding of what it means to have shared and sustainable prosperity. He received his AB from Harvard College and his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1979 and 1981 respectively and from 1998 to 2013, he served as Dean of the Rotman School of Management. On today’s episode, Roger discusses how he came to be one of the world’s greatest business thinkers and why he decided to pursue such a career. He shares his insight on the kind of leader the future needs and the abilities that today’s leaders must have to visualize the future. He explains different types of business models and shares examples of scenarios that make use of each model. He also describes what it means to always choose the path that is least comfortable and why leaders should always strive to make difficult choices.   “Majority of the spoils in business go to those who chose to be distinctive.” - Roger Martin   Today on the Creative Disruption Podcast: How leaders can create a future that doesn’t exist yet. The thought process leaders must grasp to visualize the future. What it means to have the ability to appreciate qualities in life. Why sometimes you must watch and interpret customers instead of asking them. What is integrative thinking? Scenarios that demonstrate Roger's principles and ideas. What it means to fall in love with two opposing models. The Diversity Paradox and why it's a double-edged sword. Why we should operate outside our comfort zone. The difference between a reliable process and valid process.     Key Takeaways: Making choices is not meant to be comfortable. One of the arts of understanding customers is not to ask them questions they can't answer, but asking them questions they can answer and feel comfortable answering. Consumers are not there to design products and services. Their job is to express frustrations and longing.   Resources Mentioned: Carol Dweck - Growth Mindset Hilary Austen   Connect with Roger Martin   Roger Martin official website Martin Property Institute       Download the 4 Steps to Calm Leadership Whitepaper!

CaseyAnn Salanova is a graduate student at Kent State University studying Knowledge Management and Library and Information Science. She currently heads the Interlibrary Loan department and serves as the Core Team Leader at Schmidt Library at York College of Pennsylvania. Libraries, unfortunately, are all too often viewed as antiquated as your grandmother's chintz curtains. The public perception of the total value of a library is often veiled by their large budgets and seemingly little return. The reality is though, libraries have dealt with cuts for years now with budgets decreasing even as prices on databases, materials, and technology increase. Even within the library world, a common topic of conversation and conference theme is its own relevancy. Many graduate Library Science programs, like Kent State, ask applicants to write an essay on the relevancy of libraries. Such a requirement is already setting up a professional perception of its own irrelevancy. ​(Martin Prosperity Institute, Page 1, 2013) But, libraries are in fact useful and economically advantageous. The Free Library of Philadelphia pinpointed four major economic areas that libraries contribute to: literacy, workforce development, business development, and increased home and neighborhood values (Fels Research & Consulting, Diamond, Gillen, Litman, & Thornburgh, 2010). The Toronto Public Library estimates it has created over $1 billion in total economic impact (Martin Prosperity Institute, 2013). The bottom line is they provide a low cost education and cultural platform for society (Z. Zhou, personal communication, November 10, 2015). What is true though, libraries are at a crossroads and in need of a revolution—“one that remakes the institution's technology, goals and training (Lozada, 2015).” Knowledge management can be a part of it, if not a catalyst. It is an approach to the management and effective use of intellectual capital.  ​ The key to knowledge management is approaching it with the creativity of design and the pragmatics of a business. There is not a one size fits all approach nor is there only one approach that leads to successful knowledge management (Becerra-Fernandez & Sabherwal, 2015). Really, it is holistic. But, not in the granola eating, tree hugging, meditating mentality (even though that is perfectly fine, too). Rather, knowledge management is an interconnected process that requires internal and external analysis, participation organization wide, a willingness to adapt, and a commitment to sustainability. So, why do it in a library? Libraries are at a moment in time that is ripe for opportunity. They provide an ideal stomping ground for knowledge management through a collection of people from varied backgrounds which differs from the typical KM business case. Their commodity is that of knowledge and it is ever increasing in breadth, format, and structure. They already have a strong technical infrastructure, workflows system, and a long tradition of documentation and onsite training. And just as IKEA's founder, Ingvar Kamprad changed his business practices to the Ikea we know and love today (Liedtka, 2011), libraries have been adapting for years from papyrus to calfskins, printed books, microforms, and electronic resources. It is just now, some consider Google as “America's reference librarian and Starbucks its ISP (Internet Service Provider)” (Lozada, 2015). Technology is changing at a rapid pace and libraries need to adapt quicker. Knowledge management can help change the internal and external perception of a library as well as provide the necessary knowledge to compete and thrive. Through the process of developing a strong KM Solution, hard questions will be asked including the contingency factors that affect the overall process (Becerra-Fernandez & Sabherwal, 2015). But, ultimately a better understanding of the context, innovation and knowledge sharing, succession management, employee orientation, learning, and development,

Richard Florida talks about venture capital investment in the United States and across the globe as part of the Martin Prosperity Institute's ongoing Startup City series of reports.

When Don and Alex Tapscott began writing “Blockchain Revolution”, not a single bank was investing in the revolutionary technology. Now virtually every company in the financial services industry is investing heavily as they realize this new technology is the second generation of the internet - the “internet of value”. In this exciting episode of AQ’s Blog & Grill, we are honored to have Don and Alex on to discuss their new book and the implications and opportunities in blockchains. Currently, when sending assets, we rely on intermediaries like banks to ensure trust, verify parties and perform the transaction logic. “These intermediaries do an okay job”, Alex states, “but with some pretty significant limitations.” Alex walks us through the limitations these intermediaries face and how blockchain technology fixes these problems. “Blockchain Revolution” delineates several new business models that can be adopted by any company, and Don and Alex describe one example that found success with a blockchain. They share their thoughts on how blockchains will change the definition of work and the job market, and how companies need to re-architect their businesses as opposed to adjusting their strategies. Don and Alex provide examples of ways entrepreneurs and start-ups can and are using blockchains to disrupt and revolutionize other industries in an “explosion of innovation.” We finish by discussing how we all, entrepreneurs, government , business leaders etc., need to work hard to achieve this future and exploit the blockchain potential. “Technology itself doesn’t create prosperity,” Don states, calling on all to lead this revolution in a positive way.
