Dynamic Capabilities: An AI-Generated Overview

This mini-episode was created with AI tools. Utilizing Professor David Teece's published works, Steve Outtrim of aiLevelUp facilitated the generation of a brief review of the dynamic capabilities framework narrated by a virtual "SudoDavid." Here, SudoDavid discusses the historical origins of dynamic capabilities as a shift in understanding on competitive advantage, the three key pillars of the framework: sensing, seizing, and transforming*, and practical applications for managers.Listen and explore what AI tools can produce as of September 2025.(*Of note, the AI tools replaced the term "transforming" with "reconfiguring" as the third pillar of dynamic capabilities in this episode.)To learn more about the concepts discussed in this episode, here are some links to foundational readings by Professor Teece.Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Management (with Gary Pisano and Amy Shuen), Strategic Management Journal 18:7 (August 1997), 509–533. https://doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0266(199708)18:7%3C509::AID-SMJ882%3E3.0.CO;2-ZDynamic Capabilities and Organizational Agility: Risk, Uncertainty, and Strategy in the Innovation Economy.
