   Thomas Parenty and Jack Domet, cofounders of the cybersecurity firm Archefact Group, say that most organizations are approaching cybersecurity all wrong. Whether they’re running small companies or working in multinational corporations, leaders have to think beyond their IT department and technology systems to instead focus on protecting their businesses’ most important assets from attack. They need to work across functions and geographies to identify key risks, imagine potential threats and adversaries, and develop a plan for combating them. Parenty and Domet are the authors of the HBR article “Sizing up your Cyber Risks,” as well as the HBR Press book, A Leader’s Guide to Cybersecurity. (https://www.amazon.com/Leaders-Guide-Cybersecurity-Boards-Lead/dp/1633697991)

   This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on December 3, 2019.

6. The Explainer: Locating Your Company's Core Competencies

   The Explainer: Finding Your Company's Core Competencies Lees meer

   2 Jul 2019

   What does your company do better than anyone else?

   In the short run, a company’s competitiveness derives from the price/performance attributes of current products. But in the long run, competitiveness derives from an ability to build, at lower cost and more speedily than competitors, the core competencies that spawn unanticipated products. Core competencies are the collective learning in the organization, especially how to coordinate diverse production skills and integrate multiple streams of technologies.

   Unlike physical assets, which deteriorate over time, core competencies are enhanced as they are applied and shared. But competencies still need to be nurtured and protected; knowledge fades if it is not used. Competencies are the glue that binds existing businesses. They are also the engine for new business development.

    It might seem risky for leaders to base decisions on gut instinct, but Laura Huang’s research shows it’s not arbitrary—it’s built on years of data and observation. The challenge is knowing when intuition is guiding you, and when it’s just emotion.
