What “We” Know “For Sure” About Innovation
Big mergers [by & large] don’t workScale is over-rated
Strategic planning is the last refuge of scoundrelsFocus groups are counter-productive“Built to last” is a chimera (stupid)
Success kills“Forgetting” is impossible
Re-imagine is a charming idea“Orderly innovation process” is an oxymoronic phrase
(= Believed only by morons with ox-like brains)“Tipping points” are easy to identify … long after they will do you any good
“Facts” aren’tAll information making it to the top is filtered
to the point of danger and hilarity“Success stories” are the illusions of egomaniacs (and “gurus”)
If you believe the memoirs of CEOs you should be institutionalized“Herd behavior” (XYZ is “hot”) is ubiquitous
… and amusing“Top teams” are “Dittoheads”
CEOs have little effect on performance“Expert” prediction is rarely better than rolling the dice

“We made mistakes. Most of them were omissions we didn’t think of when we initially wrote the software. We fixed them by doing it
over and over, again and again. We do the same today: While our competitors are still
sucking their thumbs trying to make the design perfect, we’re already on prototype
version No. 5. By the time our rivals are ready with wires and screws, we are on version
No. 10. It gets back to planning versus acting: We act from day one; others plan how to plan—for months.” —Bloomberg by Bloomberg

A review of Jack and Suzy Welch’s Winning claims there are but two key differentiators that set GE “culture” apart from the herd:
First: Separating financial forecasting and performance measurement. Performance measurement based, as it usually is, on budgeting leads to an epidemic of gaming the system. GE’s performance measurement is divorced from budgeting—and instead reflects how you do relative to your past performance and relative to competitors’ performance; ie it’s about how you actually do in the context of what happened in the real world, not as compared to a gamed-abstract plan developed last year.
Second: Putting HR on a par with finance and marketing.

A frustrated participant at a seminar for investment bankers in Mauritius listened impatiently to my explanation of differences of opinion among me, Mike Porter,
Gary Hamel, Jim Collins, etc. Finally, he’d had enough. “What, if anything,” he asked,
“do you believe ‘for sure’?” I mumbled something, but his query started rumbling
around in my mind. Three days later, wandering on a Sunday in London, the idea of “the irreducibles” occurred to
me—and I started jotting down notes on stuff I do indeed believe “for sure.” Before
I knew it, a few days later, the list had grown to 209 items. Hence “The Irreducible209” that follows.
