After a long winning streak, Netflix’s vulnerabilities are becoming clearer http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/after-a-long-winning-streak-netflixs-vulnerabilities-are-becoming-clearer/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/after-a-long-winning-streak-netflixs-vulnerabilities-are-becoming-clearer/#respond Wed, 24 Apr 2019 01:35:13 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=4442 At just under 150 million subscribers, Netflix is the biggest subscription service on the planet. But even the Death Star had vulnerabilities.

Later this year, Disney and WarnerMedia, hellbent on building their own direct-to-consumer video businesses, are expected to launch rival streaming services. Apple is introducing its own streaming offering, while Amazon and Hulu look to continue growing their own streaming services. Meanwhile, Netflix’s costs continue to escalate as the company aggressively spends more and more on original content — and takes on debt to fund those projects. And with domestic growth is slowing down, Netflix has begun to raise some prices in established markets — hoping to use some of that revenue to fund production costs.

Who Killed the GE Model? http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/who-killed-the-ge-model/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/who-killed-the-ge-model/#respond Fri, 27 Jul 2018 18:45:14 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=1408 Of course, GE is not dead, and it may well revive and flourish as a company. After all, IBM came back from the dead in the 1990s. But the GE model is dead — and there’s a long list of possible suspects.

Your Strategy Has to Be Flexible — But So Does Your Execution http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/your-strategy-has-to-be-flexible-but-so-does-your-execution/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/your-strategy-has-to-be-flexible-but-so-does-your-execution/#respond Sat, 18 Nov 2017 20:59:51 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=910 Peter Drucker said: “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.”  This and a slew of similar maxims reflect a common view of strategy execution: that it’s distinct from strategy, harder to pull off than defining a strategy, and therefore more critical to success — underpinned by seemingly indisputable virtues such as diligence, discipline, consistency, alignment, and focus. But such a simplistic view of execution can be misleading and can reduce actual impact.

Many Strategies Fail Because They’re Not Actually Strategies http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/many-strategies-fail-because-theyre-not-actually-strategies/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/many-strategies-fail-because-theyre-not-actually-strategies/#respond Mon, 13 Nov 2017 14:22:36 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=907 Many strategy execution processes fail because the firm does not have something worth executing.

The strategy consultants come in, do their work, and document the new strategy in a PowerPoint presentation and a weighty report. Town hall meetings are organized, employees are told to change their behavior, balanced scorecards are reformulated, and budgets are set aside to support initiatives that fit the new strategy. And then nothing happens.

A Great Company Culture http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/a-great-company-culture/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/a-great-company-culture/#respond Sun, 26 Feb 2017 00:17:37 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=803 This is a presentation that was sent to me by a dear friend and colleague, which show the company culture at Netflix.

I would say this this is one of the most enlightening company culture presentations I have ever seen. It’s so good it makes me want to check out whether they have any opportunities to which I would be suited.

If I were a CEO I would certainly like to think I would implement such a culture.

Most Reorgs Aren’t Ambitious Enough http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/most-reorgs-arent-ambitious-enough/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/most-reorgs-arent-ambitious-enough/#respond Wed, 15 Feb 2017 00:28:10 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=797 For many executives, the concept of organization design is an oxymoron. They are so consumed by working in the organization that they lack the patience to work on the organization. They don’t do the intricate, complex work of configuring their organization to execute strategy. Instead, they shift boxes on an organization chart, bolt on more resources that were lobbied for by a zealous executive, or cut costs across the board. They focus on communicating messages more inclusively or reassigning stronger leaders to troubled departments.

Why Visionary CEOs Never Have Visionary Successors http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/why-visionary-ceos-never-have-visionary-successors/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/why-visionary-ceos-never-have-visionary-successors/#respond Mon, 07 Nov 2016 17:22:40 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=746 Microsoft entered the 21st century as the dominant software provider for anyone who interacted with a computing device. Sixteen years later, that dominance is looking threadbare. The reason is failed leadership, and Apple – currently the dominant tech firm for the mobile era – is at risk of making the same mistakes.

Beyond the Holacracy Hype http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/beyond-the-holacracy-hype/ http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/beyond-the-holacracy-hype/#respond Wed, 29 Jun 2016 23:01:49 +0000 http://blog.expresionestrategica.com/?p=716 It was a Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas. Five employees were camped out in a team room at Zappos, the largest company so far to implement holacracy—a form of self-management that confers decision power on fluid teams, or “circles,” and roles rather than individuals. On this particular day, in May 2015, the circle charged with overseeing holacracy’s adoption was questioning the method’s effectiveness.
