SPOTLIGHT: The Hard Truth About Business Model Innovation with Derek Van Bever

*This interview was excerpted from our one-hour interview in
2016. Derek Van Bever, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Forum
for Growth and Innovation at Harvard Business School, talks with
Gartner about how to better inform decisions about business model
innovation and what it can mean for talent. Many attempts at
business model innovation fail. Derek Van Bever argues that
executives need to understand how business models develop through
predictable stages over time -- and then apply that understanding
to key decisions.
