Building New Skills for the New Year! — Happy 2022

Grateful to you in ‘22!

It was a joy to be able to spend time virtually — and in precious rare cases — in real life — with you over the past year. I appreciate the conversations, the questions, the support and the companionship of so many of you as we figured out the ongoing challenge of unprecedentedly uncertain times.

A fast recap in this video.

One of the highlights for me was that, my good friend Amy Edmondson and I were chosen to head up the Thinkers50 list of top ranked management thinkers. Many good friends and Fireside chat guests are also on the list.

Valize emerges from stealth

Building robust innovation and transformation capability is not easy stuff. Most of the time, major change efforts don’t work out. And when they don’t, the organizations behind them go into decline or even fail outright. This is the fundamental problem that led me to found Valize, an “un-consultancy” dedicated to helping organizations build capability for the long-term. The goal is to establish a strategy, planning, and asset review cadence, or SPARC for your organization.
