As I was skimming the various emails, group lists, enewsletters, etc., etc., I ran across this. It's worth a consideration? the rest of the article is here: http://blogs.hbr.org/hbr/hbreditors/2011/09/the_three-box_approach_to_busi_1.html The Three-Box Approach to Business Model Reinvention: Putting the Idea into Practice 9:15 AM Monday September 19, 2011 by Katherine Bell | Vijay Govindarajan's and Chris Trimble's article, "The CEO's Role in Business Model Reinvention," appeared in our January-February 2011 issue. The article urged forward-looking CEOs to manage reinvention with a "three-box approach": Box 1: Manage the present Box 2: Selectively forget the past Box 3: Create the future Using the example of Infosys chairman N.R. Narayana Murthy, the authors showed how one leader used the approach to remake a company. But the three-box approach is not reserved for those in the C-suite or for multinational companies. In fact it can be applied in any organizational setting: non-profit, for profit, in a factory or in a service organization, in a big conglomerate or a small family-run business. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
