Disruption
Competitive disruption is certainly an issue larger companies face.
Think about how hard it is to change. Then, think about making change with an organization with thousands of people!

I agree with the leadership part. There are so many companies that cannot, or do not know how to go about, effecting change in an organization because they are afraid to move forward. Change can be scary in a huge corporation. If done the wrong way, it can bring you down, or if there's a good strategy that fits for the organization, it can make it successful. You need a leader that is a visionary.

Re: NTT America's Rigby
True. We've seen visionaries be able to foster dramatic change. But a lot of companies don't have that visionary. What do those organizations do? How do companies better incentivize employees to embrace change?

...As I embrace the optimstic view, it is tempered by this as I have been thinking thru a window into the future as 2018 looms:
Automation and artificial intelligence are performing many of the tasks that once fell to humans. The world of work — and, as a result, our economy — are set to undergo some big changes.READ MORE

Re: Disruption
Just to piggyback on that, It is hard to make the right changes too. Sometimes companies make these massive changes only to realize a few months later that they didn't make the right call.

This is why I am a firm believer that companies should have open lines of communication from top to bottom. I have seen way too many times where someone who sits behind a desk makes company-wide decisions that anyone on the ground floor will tell you works in theory but not in application.

Re: NTT America's Rigby
A word for muddling through:
"Vision" still seems to me to be mostly a flattering excuse for the grotesque inflation of CEO salaries relative to the value they actually produce. Many large organizations, corporate and non-, have simply stumbled forward until they were the last one standing, in all the previous economic and political revolutions. And many wise and thoughtful plans have unfortunately led into dead ends (typically because circumstances changed and the plan couldn't be changed). The real lesson, I think, is not that we need the correct god-like vision of the future delivered from the visionary CEO who then makes it happen; we need a constant willingness to improvise at every level, including the willingness to shift resources toward unexpected successes that don't fit the vision at all.
(If I could create a business book that could somehow be forced into best-sellerdom, for the purpose of benefiting the economy generally, it would have a title like "Stop Leading, Start Thinking, Shut Up about Your Vision, and Manage Your Organization to Success.")

Re: NTT America's Rigby
@JohnBarnes interesting point and then I think about it I could not agree more... as it important to know and see it right and do it right... as this days too much lip service... instead of real things...
