Does success come from luck or skill, and how do you tell the difference? One way to find an answer: think like a pro gambler does, says football executive Rasmus Ankersen. Using sports analytics to emphasize his point, Ankersen digs into the reasons why successful companies often hesitate to change until it’s too late, offering data-driven lessons on how to stay ahead of your competition.

Great talk. Great reminder to be as analytical when you are winning just as much as when you are losing.

You clearly weren’t paying attention then. He clearly summed it up at the end. Don’t assume just because you’re successful that it was because you were brilliant. Look at the reasons behind your success, not just your failures, so that you have the skepticism to see the actual truth and not just “oh we must be doing everything right. If we just keep doing this, we’ll continue to be successful” There are so many factors in business that contribute to success…not all of which you can control.

@Nebulana the logic is sound given the soccer league example; but Nokia didn’t share a similar profile with one off winning soccer team. Also the mobile phone biz has tons of product during Nokias prime time so it’s hardly a “low score” game where a large sample variance applies. What he described had little to do with the question he posed.

This is so crucial in business and with sports teams. Many people….especially rich men, can incorrectly associate themselves for the reason things are a success.
The true leaders and experts can separate that idea and realize it can a big wave and they are riding it! 🏄♂️

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to MR. KORDUCKI for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part.
