CONFERENCE ON: “Nothing changes: Drucker’s questions to create competitive organizations are eternal”



Professor Jorge Sá (PhD Columbia University; MBA Drucker University; Jean Monnet Chair) as Peter Drucker speaker just gave a talk on: 

“Nothing changes: Drucker’s questions to create competitive organizations are eternal”

This conference was an extension of Professor Sá’s TED USA talk (link: https://youtu.be/SOkjPVi1Fts ) and it focused on:

  • In a constantly changing world great questions remain as actual as ever: who is the client, where is the client, what is value (and equally important, non-value) for the client, what are the client’s unsatisfied needs, if we were to decide today would we enter the same businesses we are in and if not what are we going to do about that, etc.;
  • Good questions remain. Only the answers change with time. Thus a good question is half an answer (Francis Bacon) and a man should be judged by his questions, not by his answers (Voltaire).
