How would you measure your life: Father of Disruptive Innovation & Technology- C Christensen

文章 admin »

Clayton Christensen, 1952–2020's 67 years of legendary life has influential people shaping him being a better person. You are also welcomed to hear his Ted Talk https://youtu.be/tvos4nORf_Y and a post related to his impact link viewtopic.php?f=104&t=326 on his wide-reaching influence in the world -particularly in the Silicon Valley. His 1997 book The Innovator’s Dilemma became the bible there. Though his lessons have been most popular in the corporate realm, with such companies as Amazon proving that losing money in the short term is worth long-term value creation, Christensen’s legacy extends well beyond the boardroom.

The Harvard Business School professor and devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could not have been more out of place with his suit attire amongst the tech people....
Christensen has also promoted a philosophy of the well-lived life, one that prizes the durable and intangible, teaching the importance of deferred gratification.
In an address at Harvard, Christensen argued that the short-term thinking that causes business failure also causes individual failure: “It’s really not until 20 years down the road that you can put your hands on your hips and say, ‘I raised a good son or a good daughter.’ The measure of your life (by God) would be how many people you have helped or served in your life, not the financial counts nor your position in the org chart of businesses.

Christensen was born to a working-class family in Salt Lake City. As a boy, he took to politics, closely following the Congressional Record, and in high school he made the all-state basketball team. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young, Christensen spent two years in South Korea as a missionary and received a Rhodes scholarship to study econometrics at Oxford. He went from Oxford to Harvard Business School before starting his career at Boston Consulting Group. In the 1980s, he founded an advanced-materials company called CPS Technologies, but his academic inclination led him back to Harvard as a business-school professor in 1992.

I think all of us have thought about or done something related to "disruptive Innovation". My thoughts include:

(1) Telling Chinese Engineers that they can and need to be better than their teachers.
(2) Telling Chinese Economists that "printing money appropriately is necessary" for China to become wealthy.
(3) One can write down one's thoughts or innovations and people may find it useful years later (FLEET)?
(4) Modern Wealth = Meaningful Economic Activities. One should treat oneself as a think tank and discuss these activities.
(5) China's rise is inevitable as the Nation is focused on Technology, Technology and Technology.
(6) China has arrived at "surplus economy". It is acceptable to have some percentage as pure "consumers". The example is that if one percent of the population can grow food for all, it is better for the other 99% do something else. Make sure that these 99% can eat well. Some Percentage may be pure consumers...
