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.)
