He shares insights on how to strike a balance between perfecting what we already know and exploring totally new ideas - and lays out how to avoid two major strategy traps.

    The business strategist Knut Haanaes of Norway highlights the importance of having a balanced approach in business based on what we already know and exploring totally new ideas. Good one.

  • @margaretachie-narcdiary7954

    I was keen listening and the truth of the matter is not about the accent or organization but the usefulness of the content which in short says that you can't do the same things and expect the same results explore and exploit is the key and I would like to listen to more of your videos I want to understand why many businesses fail and what can be done to turn that around. Thank you.

    We should start having a maximum size on these big companies or something as the bigger they get the worse off the public gets as the percentages of profits are continually cheated out of the system, either with lower wages or tax evasion or buying out other growing businesses. A step to a non profit future has to be a good thing

  • @DahBjorn
    @DahBjorn Před 8 lety

    My very first reacton when the video started was "his english is bad". That isn't true of course; it's actually very good, from vocabulary to pronounciation. But then, because he fails to even attempt english intonation (which arguably is the quickest part to learn) it just sounds way worse than it actually is.
    For native english speakers, imagine sitting in a classroom where everyone is learning spanish; and I mean everyone, not just those who decided they wanted to learn a foreign language. The teacher points to you to read aloud the next section in the textbook, and you're left with two alternatives: 1) try your very best to sound like a crappy version of Antonio Banderas, or 2) just try to stay cool, and read it with your normal tone of voice, and hope to score some underachiever-points. As surprising as it may seem, in my experience 3/4 will go with alternative 2, making it even more awkward for any aspiring Banderas impersonators to practice proper intonation.
    I'll take it this guy chose alternative 2 a few too many times, and now sort of wishes he'd taken the time to sound a bit more goofy back at school.

      Discrimination will not be tolerated against Women or Males, therefore please stop discriminating.
      The perspective of females is as equally vital as the perspective of males, no man or woman is above each other, is that understood?

      ***** I would appreciate it that you stop with the name calling please, that is how conflicts and disputes develop; you sound like a well opinionated and reasonable individual and I would like that we keep our counter arguments offensive free
      In regards to "production experiencing a decline", I have not seen any evidence that demonstrates this that does not mean that your idea is untrue. In relation to toxicity, drama, and backstabbing I have witnessed it being exerted by females in the institution that I have been present in, though some men exerted this because they literally were implicated by the females.
      You are entitled to verbally and non-offensively express your views at any time, however when your doing so try not sound prejudiced/discriminating.

      there, now since your comments violate your own "entitlements", i guess you'll be obligated policing your own comments from here onwards right?... right?

      A bank, but faster. A car, but with an electrical engine. A rocket, but private-built and maybe one day reusable. A solar panel distributor, with optimizations. A low-pressure tunnel train, conceived in an open process with many of the world's engineers.
      Those aren't heavy exploration like the first iPhone, or the Occulus Rift. Nor is it plain exploitation, like typical car manufacturers or all those Hollywood super hero movie remixes. Those are prime examples of using old techniques, spiced with a few conscious adjustments. If anything, they are spot-on examples for this talk.
