Fit for Business podcast series
This podcast series delves into the question of why some firms perform better than others. Drawing on academic ideas and the first-hand experience of leaders in a variety of sectors, as guest hosted by Sam Ridgway, the series examines what makes businesses fit for purpose and how leaders can improve the fitness of their own organisations
.Episode 1: Fitness
What does it mean to be fit for purpose? Why are many organisations unfit, and what are the implications? What can leaders do to increase their organisation's fitness? Do we need a 'fitness instructor'? In Episode One of the Fit For Business Podcast, Professor Jonathan Trevor unpacks the concept of Fitness; exploring what it means to be fit for purpose and why it is intrinsically linked to business success, Jonathan outlines the implications of being unfit for businesses (so often felt by customers and end-users) and how business leaders can tackle the problem and increase their organisation's fitness.
.Episode 2: Distinctiveness
In episode two of the Fit For Business Podcast, Professor Jonathan Trevor explores the concept of distinctiveness. Jonathan unpacks how, in the face of unmitigated uncertainty, leaders are not committing to a particular path. Organisations are trying to be jack of all trades and the master of none, resulting in a lack of distinctiveness. Jonathan argues that true distinctiveness starts with an organisation’s ability to align behind a common purpose, allowing for a better identification of threats and rapid realignment to combat them.
