Why do some companies thrive for generations while others struggle to maintain their success? Built to Last draws on a six-year study comparing 18 visionary companies with their competitors. Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras challenge the belief that lasting success requires a brilliant founding idea, a charismatic leader, or an exclusive focus on profits. Instead, they show how enduring organizations preserve their core values and purpose while continuously adapting to changing markets.
This in-depth audio walkthrough examines the principles behind building lasting organizations, including “clock building,” Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs), experimentation, internal leadership development, and continuous improvement. Through examples from companies such as 3M, Disney, and Hewlett-Packard, listeners will understand how entrepreneurs and business owners can align company culture, management practices, and long-term ambitions to build organizations that endure beyond individual leaders and products.
