"à espera de ser encaminhada para o matadouro, ou a preparar-se para ter um futuro?"

Um interessante paralelismo entre a disrupção no mundo dos negócios e o desempenho da selecção espanhola no Mundial de Futebol do Brasil 2014.

"Christensen famously posited that successful incumbents were vulnerable to disruption by smaller rivals because reliance on their existing business models led them to ignore new technologies. [Moi ici: Outra vez David vs Golias]
...
Overused and reified as the phrase ‘disruptive innovation’ has become, it remains useful as a descriptive model for understanding how incumbent businesses can sometimes struggle to fend off smaller startups peddling seemingly lower-quality products.”
...
Like the CEO of an industrial giant that dominates its market and is wedded to the business model that guarantees its revenues, del Bosque was tied to the players and system that had guaranteed so much success even as Spain faced fresh threats to that dominance.
...
With an average age of almost 28, Spain has one of the older squads in the World Cup. The more telling statistic is the 23-man squad’s collective experience: a combined total of 1,375 international caps going into the tournament, which was 243 more than second-placed Uruguay. Sixteen of the squad had also played at a previous World Cup. These warriors have been in a lot of battles.
...
There is a plethora of fine young Spanish players coming through the ranks, but del Bosque’s options were constrained. Perhaps he thought, like many of us did, that there was one more tournament in these great players, that the transition could come in the next 12 months. Just like a CEO who lacks the courage to undermine the model that has proven so successful to ensure future success, he failed to change the winning formula at the right time.
...
“It happens to all great teams. How do you drop yesterday’s heroes? Their status prevents it. They have to lose first.”
...
and at this World Cup, del Bosque’s loyalty to the players that served him so well in previous tournaments was his downfall."

No caso de uma empresa, normalmente não estamos a falar de pessoas, mas sim de produtos, mas sim de modelos de negócio.
.
Por exemplo em "5 industries that millennials are destroying" são apresentados 5 casos, apenas 5, em que o status-quo está a ser reformulado.
.
E a sua empresa, está à espera de ser encaminhada para o matadouro, ou está a preparar-se para ter um futuro?
