y's very visual company theory / value creation mapping (what Todd refers to in this HBR.org article as "The Disney Recipe") became a guide for corporate strategy at The Walt Disney Company for decades. And we talk about how as a company leader you similarly can create a "Theory of Your Firm". We thank Todd for braving the muddy trek up to the lodge for this interview.

gy, making meaning, and how to turn complexity quicksand into lemonade. Everything finally seems so clear. And tangy!

In this episode, Loren and Brad riff on the scandalous subject of DEVIANCE, how it is essential to INNOVATION, and also about our favorite comic book hero(?) DEADPOOL. You're welcome :-)

In this Episode (#6, not #5 as mentioned), Loren & Brad riff on Dr. Violina Rindova's 2009 paper "Entrepreneuring as Emancipation", exploring the idea that entrepreneurship might be about more than just market opportunities, economic rent extraction, innovation etc. Brad's copious redlined notes and facebook commentary as mentioned: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAVNXzErBlNBW6FsFYVyMhAfB43Czdxl7MM

On Episode #5 of the Capital Notions Podcast, after a long hiatus we finally get to a conversation we had a while ago with one of our favorite people / strategy minds -- David E. Bradford (@davidebradford) -- who proceeds to get funky with the strategy and innovation hits of legendary Harvard Business School professor Michael E. Porter. And also Kanye West.

On this episode of the Capital Notions podcast, we warm ourselves by the fire with Hala Saleh from 27Sprints. Hala is a former developer turned Agile / Lean specialist helping software and technology teams within organizations be successful. We are intrigued by Agile / Lean methodologies, so we thought it would be fun to riff with her about the extension of these ideas outside of their native technology / software domains.

In this chock-full Episode #3 of the Capital Notions Podcast, the gang feels compelled to offer a lyrically masterful retort to some commentaries by hater MC's (i.e. Marxist Communists). But first, an anecdotally rich review of “Managing By Design”, an article about design thinking in organizations in the latest issue of the Academy of Management Journal. Links to many of the ideas referenced in this episode follow, as well as Brad’s mad rhymes, congellified like a Hammurabi Codex in what legend will likely refer to as “The Organizational Theory Anthem”...

Listener "Big Daddy Kane" requests recommendations with regards to the hunting of water fowl. We deliver. And also riff on the concept of "Distance-Demolishing Technology" in this hostful Episode #2 of the Capital Notions podcast.

Many consider J. Bonner Ritchie (bio) to be a godfather when it comes to organizational theory, conflict resolution, industrial labor relations, leadership development, and ethics. In this {poorly edited by us podcast newbies} inaugural episode of the Capital Notions Podcast, Loren Rich and Brad Heitmann riff with him regarding his unique perspective of organizations and people. We also get a front row as he share some stories about quality time spent with Martin Luther King Jr., Yaser Arafat, Chuck Prince, and a warm/cuddly nuclear arsenal in West Germany during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
