In Only the Paranoid Survive, Intel’s former CEO Andrew Grove offers a powerful framework for navigating pivotal moments in business, known as “strategic inflection points.” Grove explains that these are times when a company faces major shifts due to market disruptions, new technologies, or competition. Drawing from Intel’s own transitions, such as its shift from memory chips to microprocessors, Grove shows how companies can either adapt and thrive or risk becoming obsolete. He emphasizes the need for vigilance, proactive leadership, and a data-driven approach to decision-making. This episode explores how Grove’s concepts of strategic dissonance and constructive confrontation can help leaders recognize threats early, engage in open dialogue, and foster resilience within their teams to capitalise on change rather than fear it—a timeless guide for businesses facing constant evolution in today’s world.
