"I want to reinvent the business before we run out of road...

Very often a forward-thinking leader will say to me, "We're doing well now, but there's a threat, and if we don't come up with something, our best days will soon be behind us." That threat could come from a new technology, like AI. It could be a regulatory change (there are many that are energy-related at the moment). It could be the rise of a disruptive competitor. It could also be something internal, like complacency – people assume that because you were the best, customers still see you that way today.

And usually there's something else that makes it worse: the current team are really good at what you're currently doing. They can't or won't recognise that a proven formula is fast approaching its sell-by date. They may see efforts to change as implicit criticism of what they're doing today. 

So you have a twin challenge: come up with a new formula, and bring your people with you.

My books are chock full of ideas to help, and you can read sample chapters for free.
