strategic planning, just like that, is no more. now it is strategic planning with a prospective vision.
1. Redundancy 2. Diversity 3. Modularity 4. Adaptation 5. Prudance 6. Embeddedness
A great talk and information. To keep business run for many years, we should always add to the existing mechanical thinking a biological thinking.
Just learn from the world's OLDEST PROFESSION -- provide what people ultimately need.

Great one TED!
I am here in 2020 and living in the same town where FujiFilm is leading the race in creating the Covid-19 vaccine. Amazing !!!
Prudence, diversity, and adaptability....I like it.
Great talk!
The best business video I've ever seen.
Where does it start? I’m at 13:05, still not started.
Company's board of director should be well educated and trained to what to do or how to think if things goes wrong in the future. Once a year, they think of a problem hitting the company's main factory such as fire, then they have to think of a way to get business back to normal in a short time.
good talk
Great talk, for anyone who's serious about the psychology of starting a business that stands the test of everything including time

Well said that a company can survive for 100 years if it defends to the changes in the market and competitors by following the principles of immune system but what about bringing changes in the market and creating challenges for the fellow competitors?

See the optic company he mentioned. It was able to disrupt the market again and again by staying ahead of the game through prudence and adaptiveness.
Basic risk management and application of Ansoff's matrix protect larger companies from complacency and stagnation. Where companies go wrong is when they begin to apply black and white bureaucratic management styles that are designed only to appease stakeholders and do not consider long term economic security.

Well actually I was going to say his 15 minute speech could have been simplified into that. Guess it would have made for a pretty boring ted video but he really isn't saying a whole lot
But.. for one company that succeed following his advices, how many will fail ? You have to take that in consideration.
"Land!... It is the one think their not making more off." OR "Invest!... In what? In gold." (movie references) And the fact is that every time there's a crisis, gold goes up... A lot!

Wow, that deserves more views. Amazing!
Let's all come back in 100 years to find out whether this is all crap?
Well I thought this video is useless, turned out I was wrong!

All well and good for the upcoming "thinking outside the box" companies.....their greatest hurdle is the "stuck in the mud...I'm not moving" mega oil companies who are not yet ready to let go of their stranglehold on society....who have lasted much longer than the average company.

Sounds like he's advocating anti-competitive behaviour and monopolization of certain markets. Companies are supposed to fail / be disrupted. The consumer loses if they're allowed to acquire potential rivals early and for cheap. Eg Facebook shouldn't have been allowed to buy Whatsapp or Instagram.

I think his idea is good but seems a bit incomplete. Management of people, not just systems, plays a large role in the success of businesses. And greater still, the product itself matters too. I don't see where these two very important aspects fit into his model. Without either of these two things, you still have no business.

People and products are systems, that's why you don't see it. Search for Systems Thinking to explore it, I really recommend it.

How to build a video that lasts 15 minutes (when it could have taken 5)
51st comment.
I love it, I learned a lot and made me think to adapt. kill the bird so it would act like a ball

Why make it last 100 years? Why not at least 1000?
BUSINESSES FOR 100 YEARS? HA! WHAT ABOUT PEAK OF OIL?

I want to build a reich that last for 1000 years
full disclosure I have not yet watched the video. Still I thought I would answer the question as to how to start a business that lasts 100 years. and the answer is to go get some tax benies like GE.
I'm sorry this is boring. If he would just cut down asking the audience question after question and be more concise.
Ted talks seem to be getting worse and worse every year...

People are an intrinsic part of the System. System is not primarily about “Things”…
