The acronym VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) has never seemed more apt, nor discontinuous change more prevalent. In such a dynamic competitive context, trying to anticipate the where and when of the next market disruption has never been more difficult. Rita McGrath is a pioneer of “discovery-driven planning,” now widely recognized as one of the most effective approaches for strategy development in the face of uncertainty. Her research and experience interacting with executive teams positions her to offer corporate leaders practical perspectives and advice on how to approach strategically the great opportunities and dangers that lie ahead in this VUCA environment. Which is what Professor McGrath sets out to do in her latest book, Seeing Around Corners: How to Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019). She is a globally recognized expert on innovation and growth strategies at Columbia Business School and number five in the 2019 Thinkers 50 rankings. Her previous books on innovation and strategy include Discovery-Driven Growth: A Breakthrough Process to Reduce Risk and Seize Opportunity (co-authored with Ian Macmillan, Harvard Business Review Press, 2009) and The End of Competitive Advantage: How to Keep Your Strategy Moving as Fast as Your Business (Harvard Business Review Press, 2013). Her interviewer, Brian Leavy, is emeritus professor of strategy at Dublin City University Business School and a Strategy & Leadership contributing editor ([email protected]). Strategy & Leadership: What inspired you to focus on inflection points in Seeing Around Corners, and how do you see this latest book building on your previous work on innovation and strategy? Rita McGrath: The best-known treatment of strategic inflection points is probably Andy Grove’s book from the 1990s, Only the Paranoid Survive. I remember being very taken with that book at the time and it stuck with me. Grove’s book, however, was mostly about the period after an inflection point has washed over the organization, with less of a focus on how you might see Professor Rita McGrath Credit: Evelyn Reinson DOI 10.1108/SL-12-2019-0181 VOL. 48 NO. 2 2020, pp. 3-9, © Emerald Publishing Limited, ISSN 1087-8572jSTRATEGY & LEADERSHIPj PAGE 3 mailto:[email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/SL-12-2019-0181 them coming to begin with, so I thought a perspective on how you might anticipate or even spark an inflection point might be useful.

HILLON, DAVID M. BOJ E Yue Cai-Hillon University of Central Missouri, US [email protected] Mark E. Hillon University of Central Missouri, US [email protected] David M. Boje New Mexico State University, US [email protected] Keywords Abstract Strategic Inflection Deconstruction Strategy Imagery Traditionally, strategic messages were communicated through the power of text and financial measures. Over the years, with an increased use and evident impact of aesthetics, such as art, corporations began to incorporate imagery in strategic messages to strengthen their persuasive power. The addition of this creative use of art has also brought interest in strategy analysis to help uncover those hidden messages and identify marginal but living voices, in other words, antenarratives. In the role of a strategy spectator, understanding the signals for corporate strategic inflection prior to its occurrence is essential when calculating a company‘s future performance. These signals are never handed to you. They are hidden and cannot be identified by accepting the face-value of the dominant and apparent organizational voices, delivered through corporate documents. When a spectator is swooped into the organizational dominant storyline, he/she becomes part of the grand narrative and loses his/her critical perspective. Instead, strategic inflection signals should be identified through organizational antenarratives, uncovered in the deconstruction of an organization‘s strategy storytelling. Deconstruction of imagery, as a new complementary method to text and financial reporting embedded throughout corporate documents, helps strategy spectators understand a more abstract and less obvious side of strategy authors‘ strategic intentions. In the case of Motorola, this paper will demonstrate how imagery has been incorporated into organizational storytelling and how deconstruction could help strategy spectators make sense of and potentially anticipate strategic inflections. Introduction On the stage of strategy live two primary characters: strategy authors and spectators/spec-actors. Strategy authors use corporate documents like annual reports, corporate responsibility reports, press releases and other official documents to convey a strategic message to their shareholders and stakeholders. Beyond being informative, the primary psychological intention behind the documents is persuasion. Through carefully and strategically crafted stories, corporations persuade stakeholders of the corporation‘s reasons for existence, past and present honorability, and belief that the company has a CAI-HILLON • HILLON • BOJE Page 30 1 gam27636_ch01_001-012.indd 1 01/09/18 07:38 PM LEARNING OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you should be able to: LO1-1 Understand what is meant by a company’s strategy.

Leadership and hard work are all very well and luck is mighty useful, but it is strategy that makes or breaks a firm.”1 Luck and circumstance can explain why some companies are blessed with initial, short-lived success. But only a well-crafted, well-executed, constantly evolving strategy can explain why an elite set of companies somehow manages to rise to the top and stay there, year after year, pleasing their customers, shareholders, and other stakeholders alike in the process. Companies such as Apple, Samsung, Disney, Emirates Airlines, Microsoft, Alphabet (formerly Google), Berkshire Hathaway, General Electric, and Southwest Airlines come to mind. In this opening chapter, we define the concept of strategy and describe its many facets. We explain what is meant by a competitive advantage, discuss the relationship between a company’s strategy and its business model, and introduce you to the kinds of competitive strategies that can give a company an advantage over rivals in attracting customers and earning above-average profits. We look at what sets a winning strategy apart from others and why the caliber of a company’s strategy determines whether the company will enjoy a competitive advantage over other firms. By the end of this chap- ter, you will have a clear idea of why the tasks of crafting and executing strategy are core management functions and why excellent execution of an excellent strategy is the most reliable recipe for turning a company into a standout performer over the long term. Understand what is meant by a company’s strategy.LO1-1 A company’s strategy is the set of actions that its managers take to outperform the company’s competi- tors and achieve superior profitability. The objective of a well-crafted strategy is not merely temporary com- petitive success and profi
