Boeing and Nike: Complacency in innovation becomes a downfall

Read this today and thought there might be some merit to it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/how-boeing-bean-counters-broke-an-american-innovator/ar-AA1n2bok?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=5fd0cdbb881641f78306a598278a2d07&ei=35

We already know there is a focus on "signaling to investors" that led to this layoff announcement, but one underlying problem is that innovation is stagnating. Yes, new ideas will always need to be brought to the table, but it can't always be at the expense of letting all the old shoe dogs walk away (or showing them the door).

The only similarity between Nike and Boeing is that they are in the PNW. Different market forces apply and the reality is the US will and cannot allow Boeing to fail for the same reason the EU will never let Airbus fail and for the same reason China wants COMAC to succeed.

“The old shoe dogs”…… You know this site is full of old people when they all seriously think some other old person is the key all along all while expecting Phil to take up the mantle once more.

@1shq+1qBXrm5d NXT was hardly gutted, they just made some incredibly short sighted with hopes they could say they did their piece. There is plenty of room for improvement at all levels of that org, at all levels.

If you think Innovation at Nike is still a thing then youre in for a surprise.
NXT was gutted and is now staffed by mostly risk-fearing drones.
NXT leadership has no idea what they're doing
NSRL Leadership is an old joke.

Innovation? Nike designs shoes.
Why are you lumping Nike in with Boeing, an airplane manufacturer?
Not to mention Nike, unlike Boeing, is doing better than its primary competitors.

@tlf+1qBXrm5d Adidas has grown 3% since 2017 while Nike grew 47%. I wouldn’t worry or compare . Add adidas, reebok, LuLu, on and Hoka together and they’re still smaller than nike
