As depicted in the thumbnail Jaguar is in the process of the developing a new car, coupled with a new production platform oh, and by the way, coupled with a reinvention of the company Jaguar Land Rover. In the promotion of this new car Jaguar has attracted the wrath of many, the support of few. In this podcast we look for, and find a deeper purpose in the advertisement. At the end of the day its meaning goes right to the heart of two alternatives - should we close the Jaguar business altogether, or should we fight. The JLR board chose the latter and demonstrated their support by signing off with a GBP 15 Billion, 5 year investment. That decision required JLR to close two production plants for at least half of that time.

This video provides insight into the strategic thinking behind the decision, the exploration of the topic aims to answer the primary question "Can Jaguar deliver the intended outcomes from the somewhat vague promise made in the ad?" For those who have no seen the ad, a 30 second version can be viewed on You Tube here: https://youtu.be/rLtFIrqhfng?si=uDjFLujS5JyXzT42 .

Listen to an insightful exploration of the innovative strategies employed by Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz, as we analyze his approach through the lens of the Strategic Management Institute's Third Wave Strategy. Discover how Kreiz not only implemented conventional restructuring for performance improvement but also revitalized Mattel, transforming it from a traditional toy manufacturer into a dynamic player in the multifaceted media industry.

Following his appointment, many analysts viewed Matell as not much more than a struggling participant in the toy industry. Barbie was seen as nothing more than a tired doll, but Kreiz had a vision that went far beyond that. This video provides insight into his groundbreaking ideas and the strategic shifts that have redefined the brand's identity and market presence.

While advances in technology continue to evolve other global forces have entered the equation (geo political unrest, climate, consequences of Covid) more recently. Nearly all have contributed to a loss of equilibrium in global markets and by definition, corporate performance.

In this video I apply a brief history of Telstra to highlight the difference between a prosponsive program of transformation against the immediacy of a responsive adaptation; undertaken in the form of restructuring. My objective is to demonstrate the means to manage both at one time (ambidextrous strategic change); and to demonstrated that while the immediacy of restructuring is an imperative, a longer term solution (transformation) is desirable. The question is: "Is one more important than the other? ... and, does it matter?
