The Context For Success in Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers

The beginning of the new year brings new strategies for companies and resolutions for individuals designed to make them more successful. 

But success is not always just a result of what a company or an individual does. Sometimes, there are larger forces at work. 

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Podcast, the IPA’s CEO Brian Tate, and its COO, Ben Jackon, discuss Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, which examines these larger forces.  

The book explores how being successful can depend on context, and how success is not always just a matter of hard work or having the best idea or strategy. We look at what the factors for success are and what lessons the book has for business innovation.
