Rita McGrath & Sangeet Paul Choudary — Rule Makers, Rule Takers and Structural Uncertainty
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr" data-sourcepos="315:1-315:202;26430-26631">"Structural uncertainty is simple. The game itself is in question. The playing field is in question. You're no longer playing with uncertainty inside the rules — the rules are the thing that's moving."</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr" data-sourcepos="317:1-317:419;26633-27051">Rita McGrath wrote The End of Competitive Advantage and gave us transient advantage. Sangeet Paul Choudary wrote Reshuffle and won the 2025 Thinkers50 Strategy Award. Aidan McCullen puts them in the same room to ask a question neither can answer alone: in an age of AI, is advantage getting shorter, or are a small number of firms locking in something far more durable by making the rules everyone else has to play by?</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr" data-sourcepos="319:1-319:47;27053-27099">In this

"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="321:1-321:118;27230-27347">What Carlota Perez's turning point framework says about where we are, and why data and intelligence are the new oil</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="322:1-322:129;27348-27476">The investor who always bet against Netflix, and

data-sourcepos="327:1-327:105;27927-28031">Why roughly 93% of corporate assets were tangible in 1975 and almost exactly the reverse is true today</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="328:1-328:106;28032-28137">How Binah.ai deleted the blood draw, the lab, the chemicals and the actuary from life insurance pricing</li> <li class=
