Corporate Strategy, Food for thought, Industries, Media
Netflix is one of the most admirable cases around on corporate strategy AND execution. Their products are not exactly cutting edge, but their strategy, execution and specifically data use is out of this world. It shows how you can make billions out of simple things. That said, other than the data culture (a huge missed opportunity by Blockbuster in terms of the head start it could have had), they have to kill a lion a year to stay ahead. Investment-wise, we never got to the point where we felt we knew enough to invest in them – and don’t regret not doing it.
