    Fail Better: Special Guest Host Bonus Episode with Steve Dennis

    Something different for this Holiday season on the #pod as I head into my eighth year of The Voice of Retail and prepare for the year ahead - a guest host, cross-over thought leader insight bonus series of episodes from my award-winning Remarkable Retail #podcast. If you have been following this short special series—or if you just think about what distinguishes organizations that are winning the future from the also-rans, it is very often that they act more boldly, they take more chances, they fail regularly, they adjust, they fail some more. They believe, as my friend Seth Godin says, “If failure is not an option, then neither is success.” Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is not to avoid failure; it is to fail better.

    Safe Is Risky: Special Guest Host Bonus Episode with Steve Dennis

    Something different for this Holiday season on the #pod as I head into my eighth year of The Voice of Retail and prepare for the year ahead - a guest host, cross-over thought leader insight bonus series of episodes from my award-winning Remarkable Retail #podcast. In Clayton Christensen's classic "The Innovator's Dilemma," he explains how successful companies often fail by becoming overly locked into their established business models and optimizing the heck out of them, thereby ignoring more risky disruptive innovations. The speed of disruption when Christensen wrote his book wasn't exactly glacial, but it was far, far slower than it is today. Today, we are confronted with a New Innovator's Dilemma. Disruption is unrelenting, and the pace of change is often more exponential than linear. The evidence is overwhelming, and the verdict is in. Safe is risky. And more and more, fortune favors the bold.
