120. Butterfly's Digital Revolution in Ultrasound: A Conversation with Darius Shahida - Five years ago, Darius, a member of the Harvard Business School Class of 2019, joined us in the podcast studio to discuss how Butterfly Network, Inc., a disruptive startup where he was employed as Chief Growth Officer, was working to revolutionize the ultrasound industry. Now, as the company's Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Business Development Officer, he joins his former BSSE professor, Derek van Bever, to reflect on Butterfly's entrepreneurial journey over the last half decade. Since Darius was last on the podcast, the company has gone public; has successfully commercialized the world's first semiconductor-based, whole-body, single-probe digital ultrasound device; has introduced its second generation device, Butterfly iQ+; and Butterfly has significantly expanded its market of users, with a presence in over 100 countries. In this conversation, Darius highlights these developments and also reflects on how the BSSE frameworks have helped to inform the company's emergent strategy over the years. As a hybrid disruptor - both a low end and a new market disruption - Butterfly Network's growth is fascinating to observe.

119. Right Kind Of Wrong: A Conversation with Amy Edmondson - In this episode, Harvard Business School Prof Amy Edmondson, sharing insights from her new book, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, reminds listeners, "The most successful among us have not failed less often than the rest of us. They've failed more often - right kind of wrong failures." Hosted by Scott D. Anthony, the two engage in a fascinating conversation covering a myriad of topics, including the origin of the idea of psychological safety; the different types of failure, and why they matter; the emotional challenges of innovation; and the right kind of wrong in the context of parenting, to cite but a few examples. We're all going to get things wrong in our professional and personal lives, but resilience and learning through intelligent failures is an important part of the journey!

118. Leading Into The Age of AI Through Fusion Strategy: A Panel Discussion - The promise of artificial intelligence is immense and companies that view AI as an enabler of corporate transformation can reap potentially enormous benefits in terms of both value creation and growth. In this panel discussion, Freddy Solis hosts his Innosight colleague and co-leader in the company’s global AI practice, Shari Parvarandeh, along with renowned thought leaders in management and information systems, and co-authors of the forthcoming book, Fusion Strategy, Vijay Govindarajan (VG) and N. Venkat Venkatraman, for a wide-reaching discussion on artificial intelligence and its implications for companies. Their conversation spans the genesis and current state of AI in business; its transformative impact across industries; blockers and enablers of adoption; different types of models and use cases; and when to build, buy, or partner, to cite but a few examples. Companies that stand to benefit from the vast opportunities that AI presents in virtually every industry will be those that act boldly and ahead of the curve.

117. Creating Pathways To Opportunity at Western Governors University: A Conversation with Scott Pulsipher - Higher education has long been on an unsustainable trajectory, with rising costs - and subsequent debt passed on to students - hindering the ability of many to get ahead. In this episode, education author and researcher, Michael Horn, hosts fellow Harvard Business School alumnus Scott Pulsipher, President of Western Governors University (WGU). Among many topics, the two discuss how the accredited, non-profit university is disrupting traditional models of higher education through its online, competency-based model. A long-time friend of Clayton Christensen's, Scott shares how Clay’s frameworks have been instrumental to his thinking and also how Clay's work helped to inform WGU's unique model. With a strong focus on serving its students, the majority of whom haven’t been well served or even served at all by traditional models of learning, along with an alumni base of over 340,000 graduates, Western Governors University is a prime example of Disruptive Innovation as a powerful force for democratizing access and opportunity.

116. Four Companies Creating a Market for Solar Energy in Nigeria: A Conversation with Efosa Ojomo & Sandy Sanchez - Last June, Efosa and Sandy were on the podcast to discuss the process of market creation - Discovery, Distribution, and Democratization - as it applied to the creation of a market for solar energy in Nigeria. In this episode, they return to share specific examples of four companies that are getting it right. SunFi, co-founded by Harvard Business School alumnus Tomiwa Igun, highlights successful employment of an emergent rather than deliberate strategy; SteamaCo illustrates benefits drawn from a clear understanding of customers' Jobs To Be Done; Husk Power Systems exemplifies the strength of pull (as opposed to push) strategies in emerging markets; and Auxano Solar Nig. Ltd is a company now firmly in the midst of the important Distribution phase of the market creation process. There are lessons to be learned from all of these examples, companies that to-date have been successful in addressing barriers to market creation in Nigeria's energy sector. In this conversation, Efosa and Sandy reflect on and share these learnings. As Efosa says, "People don’t want solar. People want progress." With this in mind, real advancements can be made towards reaching the last stage of the market creation process - Democratization, and in this case democratizing access to electricity in Nigeria and beyond.

115. Build The Life You Want: A Conversation with Arthur Brooks and Karen Dillon - Arthur Brooks teaches a popular course at Harvard Business School called Leadership & Happiness. One important underpinning of the course is that science can help us to better understand what will actually make us happier – and Arthur has worked hard to incorporate these concepts into his own life. Recently, he teamed up with Oprah Winfrey to write, "Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier." In those pages, they consider a number of thought-provoking questions, including “How can we mobilize our lives toward greater happiness? How do we translate ideas about happiness into action? And how do we take control of our present and our future?” In this episode, Arthur joins host Karen Dillon - co-author with Clayton Christensen of "How Will You Measure Your Life?" - to dive into these questions and more! Arthur also reflects on the fact that much of the knowledge that is shared in “Build The Life You Want” is practical and yet relatively unknown. Listen to learn more about both the art and science of becoming happier! https://lnkd.in/e8BCzrFj #BuildTheLifeYouWant #MeasureYourLife #Happiness #Happierness #EmotionalSelfManagement #MetaCognition #FourPillars #HabitsNotHacks #IdeasIntoAction #InspiredByClay
