      Why Great Companies Fail Even When They Do Everything Right | Niyi Adesanya
      Jan 4 2026
      Some companies do everything right — and still fail. Why? In this episode of the Frankly Business Podcast, Africa’s foremost leadership strategist Niyi Adesanya explains why vision, talent, and execution are not enough without strong systems, culture, and leadership design. Drawing from real-world examples like Nokia and Kodak, Niyi breaks down the hidden factors that cause organizations — and even nations — to collapse despite having smart people and big ideas. In this conversation, we explore: • Why “doing everything right” can still lead to failure • How systems defeat vision without structure • Culture vs strategy: what truly drives performance • The ambidextrous organization: how to explore and exploit effectively • Why fixing infrastructure without fixing mindset doesn’t work • How AI is reshaping consulting, leadership, and the knowledge industry This is not a motivational conversation.
