Episode 14 Show Notes:

Whatever our roles, most of us are involved making and managing different types of change in organisations. But why do 88% of change initiatives fail?

In this podcast Peter Domican interviews Campbell Macpherson, the author of ‘The Change Catalyst: Secrets to Successful and Sustainable Business Change’ available from the CIM Bookshop. Until 31 May, an additional 10% discount is available using the discount code ‘CATALYST’ at checkout.

During the last decade, platform businesses such as Uber, Airbnb, Amazon and eBay have been taking over the world. In almost every sector, traditional businesses are under attack from digital disrupters that are effectively harnessing the power of communities. But what exactly is a platform business and why is it different?
In this podcast Peter Domican interviews Laure Claire Reillier and Benoit Reillier, the authors of 'Platform Strategy: How to Unlock the Power of Communities and Networks to Grow Your Business'
They talk about the growth and advantages of network businesses and how designing, igniting and scaling a platform business requires learning a whole new set of management rules. Platform Strategy offers many fascinating insights into the future of platforms, their regulation and governance, as well as how they can be combined with other business models.

Episode 9 Show Notes:

 

Peter Domican talks to Roland Smart from Oracle about his book The Agile Marketer: Turning Customer Experience Into Your Competitive Advantage published by Wiley.

 

Agile provides the foundation for alignment between the marketing and product management sides. It can unleash a whole array of new marketing opportunities for growth hacking as well as for "baking" marketing directly into your products or services. Beyond that, as a discipline it can serve as a bridge to strategic alignment, positioning the chief marketing officer alongside the chief product officer as the two primary drivers of the business.

 

Written by a premier practitioner of modern marketing, this book will provide you with:

 

• Insights on the evolution of product development and management in the organization—and why marketing must partner with them in the new era
• An understanding of Agile methods and their application to marketing
• A plan for integrating Agile with your traditional methods
• Tactics to drive alignment with product management
• A pathway to becoming the steward of customer experience

Episode 7 Show Notes:

 

In this latest podcast, Peter Domican talks to Professor Brian D Smith about his book Darwins’s Medicine published by Routledge.

 

Darwin’s Medicine is the sequel to Brian D. Smith’s influential and critically acclaimed Future of Pharma (Gower, 2011). Whereas the earlier book predicted the evolution of the pharmaceutical market and the business models of pharmaceutical companies, Darwin’s Medicine goes much deeper into the drivers of industry change and how leading pharmaceutical and medical technology companies are adapting their strategies, structures and capabilities in practice.

Through the lens of evolutionary science, Professor Smith explores the speciation of new business models in the Life Sciences Industry. This sophisticated and highly original approach offers insights into:

 

• The mechanisms of evolution in this exceptional industry;
• The six great technological and social shifts that are shaping its landscape;
• The emergence of 26 distinct, new business models; and
• The lessons that enable firms to direct and accelerate their own evolution.

These insights map out the industry’s complex, changing landscape and provide an invaluable guide to those firms seeking to survive and thrive in this dynamic market.

 

Darwin’s Medicine is available on Amazon and through all good book shops. As  a special offer to The Knowledge listeners, you can get a 50% discount at the Routledge website by quoting DAR230.

 

Professor Brian D. Smith began his career as a research chemist in a pharmaceutical R&D lab and then spent 20 years in technical and marketing roles before becoming an academic, author and adviser. Working at The University of Hertfordshire and SDA Bocconi, two of Europe's leading business schools, his research focuses on strategy creation and implementation in pharmaceutical and medical technology markets. Brian also runs a specialist consultancy that advises many of the world's largest companies in this sector. He is editor of the Journal of Medical Marketing, has written and co-written three major books, including The Future of Pharma (Gower, 2011), and published many practitioner articles - all of which can be seen at www.pragmedic.com.
