Charles Conn - The Imperfectionists


Listen Later

Today’s book draws on a decade of research and 50 case studies to present six mindsets that help business leaders and nonprofit equivalents be more confident and creative about strategic problem-solving and be successful where others are afraid to act (or act recklessly). The concept is modelled after innovative companies such as Patagonia which are not afraid to step out into risk using small moves that build capabilities, assets and understanding. The imperfectionist strategy creates opportunities unavailable to those with conventional strategic thinking based on old structural models. The world is changing faster and faster, with increasing uncertainty and the threat of external disruption in every business and nonprofit segment. Conventional approaches to strategy development assuming a world devoid of probability no longer work.

It Is a huge pleasure to welcome a friend, previous guest and author of "The Imperfectionists: Strategic Mindsets for Uncertain Times", Charles Conn.
