Every organization eventually faces the moment when the model that made it successful stops matching what its customers value. This collection brings together all six of CNTI’s Business Success Framework case studies, tracing how organizations inside and outside of journalism recognized that moment, or missed it, and what they did next.

Four cases come from outside the news industry, so the pattern can be seen without bias: Public Libraries, Peloton, Netflix and Tower Records. Two come from local news: the Salt Lake Tribune and Houston Landing. Each one is mapped stage by stage to the framework, from disruption and decoupling through recoupling and reinforced position, and each closes with considerations specific to local journalism. Read them together to compare the decisions that separated lasting transformations from cautionary tales.

Includes the full digital version of each case study plus its PDF to download and keep. New case studies are added to the collection as they’re published.

    Houston Landing launched in 2023 with more than $20 million and a clear mission: give Houston a trusted local news source. Two years later, it closed. A lesson in trying to do too much, too fast.
