The Most Successful Players - Thoughts on the Future of Construction
I found this video underwhelming given that it's supposedly from 'thought-leaders' in our industry.
One would have hope that they would at least have read a digest of Clayton Christensen's 1997 book "Innovator's Dilemma", or similar, before sharing their rather generic thoughts with us. They would have had 20 years in which to read this, or some 38 years in which to catch-up on Michael Porter's work.
One wonders if one reason for the rather dismal performance of our industry might to be found in the way our leaders are taught?
Incidentally, Prof Christensen also hails from BCG, who sponsored this video. One wonders what he would make of it....
