#001: Why Technology Matters a Lot Less Than You Think
Innovational Correctness
11/24/19 • 41 min
In this episode, I will explain why companies are focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to “digital transformation", why the over-reliance on technology can massively hurt your company, why companies are not and will not become innovative by simply using technology, and finally, why there's very little opportunity to gain a lasting competitive advantage against competitors.
In this episode #001 we will cover:
- Why do companies, especially in Germany are focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to “digital transformation.
- Why the over-reliance on technology can massively hurt your company. I’ll do this by citing various examples from vastly different industries and fields.
- Why companies are not and will not become innovative by using technology and why there's very little opportunity to gain a lasting competitive advantage against competitors,
- The very dangerous assumption of why, despite the increased importance of IT, this does not translate into a lasting competitive advantage,
- What distinguishes proprietary from infrastructural technologies,
- How competitive advantages erode over time, by looking at past technologies,
- What makes IT a simple commodity input and not a strategic advantage to enterprises,
- Why companies need to focus on threats rather than opportunities and should keep IT expenditure in check,
- Why companies should not be first-movers and why there’s no shame in following your competitors when it comes to adopting new IT technologies.

In this episode, I caught up with Rodrigo Nieto-Gomez to talk about the criminal entrepreneurial and innovation skills of Mexican drug cartels, how they operate and what we can learn from them. Toward the end of this episode, I also explain how cocaine is produced and what makes it so profitable.

- What today’s companies can learn from this illegal drug trade,

#011: Why a CEO Stepped Down so an Intern Could Take Over /w Hermann Arnold
Innovational Correctness
06/07/20 • 90 min
In 2013 Herrmann Arnold (at that time CEO and shareholder of Haufe-umantis AG) voluntarily stepped down as a CEO and appointed a former intern for the CEO position, because he was convinced that he wasn‘t the right person to continue the next growth stage of his company. Many would view this as a colossal failure. Why the exact opposite is true, is something we discuss at length in this episode.
In this episode we will answer some of the following questions:
- Why my guest voluntarily stepped down as a CEO in order to give a former intern his position
- How his successor and customers reacted to this decision
- How a manager recognizes the point where he or she is not the right person anymore to continue to lead the company
- What it felt like coming back to the company and working under the new CEO
- How he handled the conflict of his successor implementing his ideas with success
- Why more companies should think about limiting the terms of their CEOs
- What he learned from letting his employees vote for managers and why he believes this might not be the solution for the future

Innovational Correctness
07/25/21 • 64 min

- Why other countries and politicians viewed the Swedish army as a bunch of trigger-happy and insubordinate mavericks during the Bosnia war

va-Q-tec has won the TOP 100 innovator award, has been the National Champion at the "European Business Awards" multiple times, and made it into the TOP 10 of the GreenTec awards, along with so many other awards and recognitions that it would seriously take a half an hour to name them all.

- How his product stakes up against the competition and how he‘s able to compete against Asian manufacturers, despite there being much cheaper,
- The steps his company is currently taking to make these panels much more affordable and available for more customer applications,
- How he decides which market to enter next, when the potential of his product is so vast,
