The Architectural Masterminds Behind Century-Spanning Companies
What separates truly exceptional companies from merely successful ones? It's not charismatic leadership or brilliant product ideas, but something far more fundamental. "Built to Last" reveals that visionary companies like 3M, Disney, and IBM achieved enduring greatness through organizational architecture rather than individual brilliance. These companies outperformed their competitors by 15 times over 50+ years not because they had better initial ideas or more charismatic founders, but because they built self-sustaining institutions that could thrive across generations. Hewlett-Packard began with no specific product in mind - just a vague notion of making "electronic things." Walmart evolved gradually from a single franchise store. Sony's founders simply wanted to create "an ideal factory" where engineers could enjoy their work. The true visionaries weren't product geniuses but organizational architects who created systems that would continue producing excellence long after they were gone. They built clocks rather than merely telling time.
