Hi Sol-
There isn’t a magazine that outdoes HBR at what HBR does… but there are some magazines that I like a lot because they offer some alternative perspectives that I think are worthwhile. IMHO, nobody does data-based, solid articles like Miller-McHune. Always interesting. I also love the business articles in Wired, in part b/c they are usually on tech companies who by default are usually less conventional in their mgmt approaches. McKinsey Quarterly and the Sloan Mgmt Review are less status conscious & less ‘master of the universe’ oriented than HBR. The Rottman School of Mgmt journal has great articles too. It seems that in order to be on top of current management scholarship and application, one should read broadly. HBR’s years as the one stop shopping Readers Digest of business leaders are long over. Let’s hope that they (continue to) remake themselves to stay relevant and to become more provocative.

So what business magazine would you recommend since you are not a big fan of RBR?

Thanks for a thoughtful and stimulating article.

In an attempt to address the “Yes, but how?” question I’ve started a community website, very rudimentary at the moment, here: http://moon-shots.ning.com.

This will track progress, provide a place where network members can share resources, and enable consultants, academics and others to work together and tackle the 25 challenges set out by Hamel and his brigade of renegades.

Please do join the embryonic site if you share my passion for bringing forth a new way of managing organisations.

Thank you again, and hope to see you there.

Thanks for posting this. I think I’ll get my students to take the survey.

CV,
once again you hit the nail on right on the head with the gary hamel article on “moonshots”. hamel has for a long time been one of the good guys who really gets what is going on in american/global business. wonderful article and a great pick up by you.

for over 20 years we have been consulting to organizations that want to create the cultures, structures, practices and policies that he and his “brigade” advocate in the article. thanks for sharing this with the world. i will too.

you and others can visit http://www.henning-showkeir.com or http://www.authenticconversations.com to find out more about our practical methods and models.
