Title: Pivot to the Future
Author: Omar Abbosh, Paul Nunes, Larry Downes
Category: Startups & Entrepreneurship, Technology & Innovation, Creativity in Business, Career Growth
The very strategies that made you successful are already turning into liabilities. Sam and Sophie sit with that uncomfortable truth, because it's the central argument of 'Pivot to the Future' by Omar Abbosh, Paul Nunes, and Larry Downes.
They walk through the three moves every leader has to make: seeing the future before it arrives, balancing the performance engine with the transformation engine, and transforming the core business from reimagine to reconfigure to reconnect. The pair also unpack the concept of 'latent assets' and why technology alone isn't a silver bullet.
If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or anyone who wants their career to survive the Big Squeeze, this episode names the brutal reality and gives you a framework for continuous adaptation. The takeaway: the future belongs to the most adaptable, not the biggest.
