  1. CHAPTER 7: TECHNOLOGY ACCELORATERS Katy Lovett, CJ Baker, and Matt Snowden

  2. Does technology fit into your hedgehog concept? • If yes, carefully select it • If no, do without or settle for less

  3. Technology is an accelerator, not a creator of change • Walgreen’s Vs. DrugStore.com • McDonald’s and credit cards

  4. The Technology Trap • “….technology by itself is never a primary cause of either greatness or decline.” (p. 157) • Examples: • Westinghouse and the AC electrical system • De Havilland and the Comet • Not a differentiation between “Good to Great” and “Just Good.” • Relying too heavily makes you lazy

  5. Strategy • Proactive not Reactive • Common Traits of “Good to Great” • Improvement • Excellence • Creativity • Do we really want to be great? • Wayne Sanders of Kimberly-Clark: “We’re just never satisfied. We can be delighted, but never satisfied.”

  6. SUMMARY • Accelerates momentum, doesn’t create it • Technology must fit into your hedgehog strategy • If fundamentals are not in place, technology can’t save you
