Imagine, for a moment, that you (yes, you) were the next Steve Jobs: what would your (real) challenges be? Id bet they wouldnt be scale (just call FoxConn), ef ciency (call FoxConns consultants), short- term pro tability (call FoxConns consultants bankers), or even growth (call FoxConns consultants bankers lobbyists). Those are the problems of yesterday and today, heres the thing: we largely know how to solve them.
Whether youre an assiduous manager, a chin-stroking economist, a superstar footballer, or a rumpled artist, heres the unshakeable fact: you dont get to tomorrow by solving yesterdays problems.
To solve todays set of burning problems, you just might have to build new institutions, capable of handling stuff a little something like this…
